That doesn't change the BRR article that quoted him......

Rated as a :star :star :star :star :star

5 star link

For whatever its worth Sade made all 37 PATs last season, 6/8 for field goals and is pretty accurate inside the 40. He made a 57 yard field goal at Nebraska's kicking camp

dams i need to train my kid to be a kicker... or hell i should have been... in my younger days when ( 185 6'1) but now i'm 210

 
Welcome Niklas! I believe J Congdon was the second rated kicker his SR year also. The 57 yarder definitely shows some leg strength, something Congdon didn't have. Doesn't Burke have any soccer players who can kick a football this year? :throwdabones1:

I think the #2 is the more key rating, but keep in mind it's just from one guy and it seems like he's personally worked with these guys. His ratings sound more like recommendations - which is fair enough, but it's not the same as a (objective, if money-minded and less informed) Rivals rating.

Also, 5 star means "Division 1 Prospect", 4 star means "Division 2 prospect", and 3 star means "Division 3 Prospect." So it's not the same star system we are used to...

 
Nice get, I know Bo like having kickers walk-on then earn the schollie but if you can get a guy considered one of the elite few in the country you throw an offer out there.

Info taken from Husker Extra article:

He had one other scholarship offer, from North Carolina State. He said he was receiving interest from Maryland, North Carolina and Harvard. He carries a 4.0 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale at Wakefield High in Raleigh, which competes in the state’s largest class.

Impressive GPA too. Great job by this staff again to get him here and get him on board. This class is going to be one of the best of all time in my opinion.

Will be interested to see what stars are given here. Rivals/Scount should give him at least 4 stars since he is rated the no. 2 kicker in the country. 57 yarder in camp as a high school senior is very impressive.

The 4 star recruits are starting to pile up.

Rivals hasn't ranked a kicker higher than 3 stars since 2002. He'll almost certainly not be a 4* on their board.

You might also remember a couple of their 3* recruits - 2003 #12 David Dyches, 2005 #1 Jordon Congdon. Those didn't exactly pan out for us.

Doesn't seem as though he has any problem w/ a scholarship kicker - I guess we have 2 on the team now.

2007 - Offered Erik Folk (might have been a Billy Cal. offer?)

2008 - Offered Jeff Locke

2009 & 2010 - The Henery/Kunalic golden years - who needs a kicker?

2011 - Offered Niklas Sade & Andre Heidari

Ok, so we have conflicting reports.. personally, I will take little from either one of them, but more from one that quoted him yesterday, rather than a report drawing conclusions based on what Niklas has said previously.

Also, does this really matter?
