Bubba Starling

Bubba actually had ++arm strength.   One of the reasons he was drafted so high in MLB along with his superior athletic ability.    
 

I think he would have been just fine for what he would have been asked to do.  HH was being asked early in his college career to be a passing QB..  

Also keep in mind Bubba spent all spring and summer playing HS/Travel baseball and all winter playing Basketball.  His QB skill set would have hopefully been much improved in a college program (even if it were NU) 
I’m just not sure if under Pelini he would’ve been able to receive the proper toolage to take him from a mediocre passer to suitable for D1. He is extremely athletic.

That is a good point.  Been a long time if ever when a QB got proper training on throwing mechanics.  

 
He  made the right decision with millions in the bank.
I agree...

I mean, 18 years old with two great choices to pick from.

Door One:  Instant millions with a chance for SOOO much more but you get that money in the bank.

Door Two:  No money, chance to be a Husker legend, probably no chance to make the NFL, and back working in Lincoln at a cushy job telling Husker stories.

Both are pretty good but Door One wins.
