oh dear God not this again. This guy was the OC at UConn when we had the worst statistical offense in the country and averaged 14 points per game

Does that somehow disqualify him from being an analyst and visiting a player?

No it just means there’s another bad former UConn coach now employed by Nebraska

A former OC as an analyst seems fine to me. He was just an analyst for the #1 offense in the country this season

Not joining either side, but if he is visiting a recruit that would mean he is an actual assistant coach, no?

(it’s possible he is just on the road in a slot until someone else is hired.)

That is exactly what I am guessing as we do not have a full staff at the moment. 

 

[StPaulHusker]

He’s not going to be a coach.  If he was going to be anything more than support staff, he would have been announced as such.

Does an Offensive Analyst analyze other team's offense to help prepare the defense?

 

[StPaulHusker]

Does anyone know what he had to say about the visit?

 

[KazLongDrives300]

Rivals bumped him to a 4 star.  I can only assume a decommitment is inevitable.  :sarcasm

 

[The Murphinator]

247 also has him as a 4 star for their ranking at 91

 

[spurs1990]

Is that an ESPN rating holding him back then or what?

 

[Mavric]

Yeah, would definitely be a Composite four-star without ESPN dragging him down.

Kind of sucks without Scout in the mix.  The three are weighted equally and Rivals and 247 are fairly comparable most of the time but ESPN can be all over the board.

 

[StPaulHusker]

So is he solid still or is there worry?
