84HuskerLaw Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I know his speed (11.2 hundred) doesn’t merit a scholarship but his video suggests he can really play. I think they’ll be happy to have him. I wish they had his coach lined up. It may be that Mickey can work his legal mess out (we still don’t know what actually happened). The facts / details matter. I’m sure Rhule will get his staff finished but he needs to shore up the QB spot assuming we don’t have everybody back and lost Watson. Apparently Purdy never got ready (reasons ?) and Watson was a Whipple guy. Don’t think the Kearney products have impressed any of the coaches much or we’d have seen them by now. These issues make WRs and QBs hard to reel in. I have a good vibe about Rhule but the situation is very dicey. To be expected (the passing game guru was the architect) but his ‘legacy’ may haunt us for years to come. Quote Link to comment

I've been worried about him for some time. I don't believe any of the new coaches got down there to see him, though we did send some staff. But he did come in for another visit and still has his Husker commitment Tweet pinned. So I've talked myself off the ledge (for now). I think he's going to sign here. But I'm not going to be shocked if he announces something different (Cincinnati). Quote Link to comment

I've thought for a while his situation is odd. It's almost like we half-heartedly tried to keep him. Like he has a spot but like you said I don't think they went down to see him. I know for sure Rhule never made it down there but yet it seems like we still want him? Quote Link to comment

There may be a chance the coaches realize that he's an academic risk. So, if he signs...great. If he doesn't....it's not that big of a deal because he might not qualify. That is absolutely pure speculation. But, it's a scenario that I think could cause the staff to act way they have with him. Quote Link to comment

Almost like it was one sided. He kept saying he was N, but no contact from staff until he came here on visit. Weird situation… not sure how to read it Quote Link to comment

Pedro G Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 He may not be a priority now. I think N has done pretty well with wide outs. So perhaps get another OL or DL instead? Quote Link to comment
NsideScoop Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Bruntz just put in CB to Cincy. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Just switched to Cincy. Weird. Sucks for us from a numbers perspective. Quote Link to comment
