So you never answered. Are you his coach or his dad?

Neither.  I am the guy who was miffed that NU let one of their best prep athletes just walk.  But I should not be surprised.  

BTW would you be willing to give me a penny a day up until the next time we see a high school kid come into Memorial and punt the ball 82 yds?

(Under duress, in his own end zone)

I mean if he just some JUCO level kid, that wouldn't be very long right?

Yes. I will give you a penny a day until a kid boots a punt like that. 

Worst case, I owe you $200 before I die? Have you heard of the time value of money? You're asking for a dollar!!! 

Deal made. Book it.

It's one punt...

But even if I did, $3.65/year? I think I could swing $250 in about 70 years. Look me up when it happens and you can collect.

Oooh thats Harsh!

His coach said the kid could have thrown for 2000 yds but they don't run that kind of offense. Coach's words, not mine.  It reminds me of when the NP coach told folks Woodhead was the best back he had coached in 25 years.  And folks scoffed.

Are we saying that we don't want to develop excellent in-state players?  BC that is what he was.  By all measures. As good as any walk on we have.  Have you heard of the self-fulfilling prophecy and the value of expectation?  

Or do you just want everything handed to you on a silver platter?

What do you expect his coach to say?  "He sucks as a passer so we run it all the time?"

He was 2-11 for 22 yards in the state championship game when they needed it the most.  I'll take what actually happens on the field over whatever sunshine the coach wants to pump.

Also, when you have to resort to putting a bunch of words in other people's mouths, it probably means your argument isn't very strong.

I respect this take.  My thesis here is though as NU you take these Nebraska kids who are the beasts and you develop them.  You dont let them boom or bust elsewhere.

I dont know if others would have offered him but I would have offered him something.  And the message to the kids of the rest of the state is this.  You come into Memorial stadium and show that kind or heart and potential, you belong here.

I do not know his grades, and I am sorry that might be a big caveat, but I don't know.

We did offer him something.  He had a walk-on offer here.  He chose Wyoming (cue the "well, they didn't *really* want him argument).

Well it is just that as a program if you have pure apathy for a Nebraska kid like that, and I am telling you, watch his games, then you deserve to be 5-6.  It is Callahanesque.  Bugs the sh#@ out of me.  

And I said before, the whole kick thing, no I am not saying he is a kicker I am saying that was an athletic act few can duplicate.  Do we value Jim Thorpe just for throwing percentage or ypg? Hell no, it was because he could by gawd do it all.  Pure athlete.  

This kid from Scottsbluff damn near won the Class B title on his own damn determination, period.  

All I am saying is a smart staff sends a message to the states prep players about what they value if they give that kid a hat with a red N on it.  Hard work, athleticism, wanting to lay it all out there on THAT field. 

Now, Mav points out I dont know the particulars and this is true.  

But I would have been on that field with a black ink pen and a piece of paper for that kid. 

If he gives the effort at Laramie he gave in Memorial stadium, he will be fine.  Frankly he left more on the field there in 8 quarters than about 60% of the current NU roster.

I think you disrespect the other kids on the team. He’s a good athlete. But, a good football team is not just one. 

 
@dvdcrr

i knew a kid about five years ago who’s dad played college football. He was a key player in his team going undefeated in football and winning the state championship. He was a state wrestling champ. He ran the hurdles helping his team win state track. I had a ref tell me he had never seen a kid hit so hard.  This kid was a stud.  
 

he walked on at Nebraska and didn’t sniff the three deep. 
 

what I’m saying is, just because a kid looks great in HS, doesn’t mean he’s perfect for Nebraska. 
 

Understand that we now have a staff that respects Nebraska talent. They will make a mistake here and there. But, I’m confident they will bring in the vast majority of guys that deserve a chance. 
 

PS....the kid had an offer from Wyoming.

FYI: here are his career punting stats according to max preps. Great athlete, probably a great kid, and I wish him well, but I don't blame the staff one bit. Good luck at Wyoming.

I am sorry did you watch the class B finals this year?  I am just curious.

Because no disrespect, but without Harsh Scottsbluff loses by 3 scores easily.

This was a miss by NU, and a disconcerting one.  They should have taken this kid in and developed him. 6'2 230.  That could easily be 250 in a couple years at linebacker, wildcat QB etc.  He also has a quick release.  Took a western school to the finals twice, you don't know how hard that is. 

That kid who didn't sniff the three deep, was he 6'2 230 out of high school?

Well I think Craig Bohl showed the kid he cared more... and that is what I am talking about, no one at NU really tried there.

Listen, you guys really know your stuff, seriously no disrespect,

This was a miss in my view I hope NU doesn't let too many good ones like this get away.
