JUCO DE Junior Aho [SMU- Signed LOI]

[Huskers93-97]

Though to argue. No reason to accept his commitment right now. We could have waited on bigger fish IMO.

Maybe we don’t have bigger fish. Ha. I did just read article where wiltfong said he was the top performer and most impressive physical specimen at Oregon camp

He does look insanely fast off the edge. Obviously we didn't have to rush into this one, so the staff must feel he's an athlete we don't have at the position. GBR

Huh? We'll see, I guess.

Only started playing football in 2015.  In France, he played soccer and boxed as well as studying judo and karate.

May graduate.  Four years to play three.

Judo and karate you say....

Has someone stated how many years he has? May have missed it.

 

[Snowbird]

4 for 3 I believe. For sure 3 years of eligibility

 

[mnhusker]

Looks like he falls into the, get a strong athlete and develop the skills category.

I’m hoping this kid turns into the Edge rusher we need. Big, Freak athlete, develop his skills and let him race to the QB

That’s one way to put it. I put it in the reach category. Hope I’m wrong.

That's a really big deal. Especially if he's still a pretty raw athlete.

I’d rather take a 5 for 4 high school recruit with power 5 offers than reach on a JUCO with 4 years to play 3.

Even if the high school kid takes potentially to get 3 years to develop and the juco can be ready in 1-2 years? 

Obviously you want the high school route, but staring down the barrel of another no bowl year we need potentially more immediate help. If that immediate help can be here for more than 2 years then all the better right?

That’s all good in theory. And I see you’re point. But what makes you think he can provide immediate help? His offer list suggests otherwise. This looks like Alex Davis all over again.

Time will tell. Rational fear, but have to hope that "their guys" they pick can contribute more in the statistical sense. Fingers crossed.
