No kiddingWow. I would be unsettled if I were a Hawkeye fan listening to his comments about Callahan. Sounds to me like Prater is basically saying he wanted to come here but Callahan didn't give him the time of day, so he went to Iowa. Sounds like Nebraska would have been his first choice.

Yeah. I don't think the interviewers realized that Nebraska didn't recruit him. Sounded like a level headed guy. Best wishes to him . . . if not to his team.Wow.

Knapp, really? He was offered at Nebraska. First he said he wanted to play B10 ball. Then cally never offered. But Bo did.Wow.

"This summer — like every summer — he's been working out with Paul, a fifth-round pick of the Washington Redskins, at Omaha Central. One-on-one in the sun. At 6-1, 220, Paul's big. He has straight-line speed. And, for three years, he worked against Pelini-style corners.Would Prater have gotten on the field last year at Nebraska? Honestly curious, I don't know his playing that well.
He would have had to beat out Amukumara, Dennard, Gomes, or Hagg.
Offered when? During Callahan's final year? I wouldn't have wished that on a dog, so I can see why he left. And if he didn't respond to Pelini, you can't blame the guy. Pelini was an unknown as a Head Coach, and going to a known commodity like KF would have been the safe move. Again, can't blame the guy.Knapp, really? He was offered at Nebraska.

"Iowa paid attention. The Hawkeyes offered Shaun first after a summer camp, and later offered Shane, who committed, too. Bo Pelini — attempting to rebuild a recruiting class riddled with defections from Callahan's downfall — offered the twins after he took over."
