JUCO WR Omar Manning

[GBRFAN]

I was hopeful when I saw activity on a few players threads that I also want. Then I just realized it was you in every players thread saying. "want"

Interesting thought and also true - funny thou that the simple post of "want" provides more info then yours

Alright folks, back on topic please. If you want to hash it out, go to the shed.

This guy seems like the type of talent we need to reel in to get back where we all want to be. Obviously incredibly gifted athletically but more attainable for somewhere like Nebraska because we're getting in early on his JUCO recruitment and obviously accepting some risk.

Of course with our track record he'd probably never make it here from JUCO or he'd get buried on the depth chart forevermore. WR development has been objectively bad under Frost. The only ones who've been even close to showing something are Warner and Wandale who is a RB.

I like to look at Juco guys more individually then past trends - they each have their own unique reason/path to D1 football.  His size alone makes him a solid fit for NU.

Especially for the option that we will eventually start running again

Not going to lie, if I were an outside receiver recruit, I’d be worried from what I’ve seen with this offense and AM’s ability to get the ball to the outside.

Ya it's not like just last year with AM at QB an outside WR became the first WR in program history to go over 1000yds.....

Kids commit to Georgia Tech every year thinking they'll be different

Yea and our leading outside receiver this year is on pace for 189 yards.

Which means we need one

Yea that’s not what I was arguing. Great reading comprehension!

What changed?

the QB or the WR?

Both. Morgan is a record holder at NU and was a great receiver. This year, I’m going off the eye test and stats though. The offense and quarterback haven’t been able to effectively throw to the outside. Granted, the QBs don’t have much time to throw, but it’s been a struggle.

So....you have a combo that sets records one year. One part of that convo leaves for the nfl and now it’s the All on the QB because the production isn’t the same. 
 

got it.
