JUCO LB Will Honas [Nebraska - Signed LOI]

[BIG ERN]

The longer this drags out the less I like our chances. Was hoping we made a good enough impression for him to sign this week 

 

[ADS]

These kind of situations never work out in our favor.  So yeah not expecting to get him.

 

[MyBloodIsRed16]

If he isn't 100% N right now he can kick rocks....... did I do that right?

I agree.  If he goes and visits Wiscy I think he will pull the trigger and be a Badger.  Cant say that I blame the kid based on where the 2 programs are right now.  We can sell vision and hopes, they can sell results and hardware.

I completely agree with you - but how bizarre is that to say and for it to be true... 

 

[Hedley Lamarr]

Enjoy Wisconsin 

 

[C N Red]

Seriously, you come to Nebraska and like what you see and how they will use you, and then Wiscy comes in and offers out of the blue so late?  If I was Frost and Company I would put the full court press on him and his Juco coach for the next couple days, and if he hasn't signed with us by the start of the New year, I would tell him to kick rocks and hope Wiscy has room for him come so late in January.

 

[bugeater17]

I'd stick with the full court press to have him commit in the next couple of day - even if he chooses to decide later we still need to pursue this kid to enroll in January. If it gets past the 6th we likely become a non-factor as the logistics to make it work (as explained above) become very difficult. 

 

[swmohusker]

Sucks that we will be the team that warm this kid up to the idea of playing in a 34 and then Wiscy comes in and nabs the kid.  

 

[GBRFAN]

I agree.  If he goes and visits Wiscy I think he will pull the trigger and be a Badger.  Cant say that I blame the kid based on where the 2 programs are right now.  We can sell vision and hopes, they can sell results and hardware.  

NC hardware? - SF says otherwise!!!

 

[melscott62]

Not feeling great about this.

 

[caveman99]

Either way, we aren’t out of it. Will be a priority for the staff after this period ends. I am also sure that SF and Co get him on the phone today to make sure he knows he is wanted.

I mean I would love to get this kid, he looks like a gamer; however, if you look at our depth at LB, he's a luxury and not a glaring need:

^ that's a lot of bodies. Just not sure how many are difference makers. Isn't Dedrick Young missing from the list?

Besides Gifford, who on this list are you really comfortable with. He's the only one I'm comfortable with. Stille is a maybe. But Honas will give us an actual experienced good LB, because we don't have one on this list. He will be a good stepping stone until our young guys can learn and get experience.
