3 stars is not a horrible rating.5 stars = rare prospects
4 stars = outstanding prospects
3 stars = good prospects
2 stars = solid prospects

I get that sker. My dad has had two heart attacks, both in his 60s - he's now 82. I remember the first one when I got the call at 3 am. Scared the crap out of me. Was at the hospital in 10 minutes. Glad to hear you're doing fine. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 06, and after the requisite depression (tried to take my life) I turned my life over to the Lord, and I've never known happiness like I do know. I've learned that I'm happiest when I'm helping others. Few have been blessed to the degree that God has blessed me. I'm 60 and still have both parents who have kept it together for over 60 years, and two of the most precious kids a guy could dream for. I grew up in Illinois, but went to Nebraska and walked on the Frosh team coached by Ross. I thought you guys were all nuts, but then realized that what you have is so very special. I've taken great pride in bringing my kids and others back to that great state. I only get back once a year now. Use to be twice as a frat brother who now runs the pharmacy in Valley grew up in Crawford and we would pile into his motor home with golf clubs, booze and shotguns, and head out for a turkey shoot around the Fort Robinson area every spring.
The secret to happiness is best found in Philippians 4:8. "Whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable; if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, set your mind on these things." Take care man. GBR

Yeah, I agree....he could be a good player and coaching could have a lot to do with that, but what I read was that he's a superstar that Pelini's lousy staff ignored. That doesn't seem to be the case and just sounds like more BS from the Pelini haters.....who just happen to be the same group of guys making these comments in every thread. In that regard it makes me wonder if this guy has any ability at all or it's just a chance for them to take another shot at Pelini. I won't hold my breathe on this 3-star Ohio guy even coming here.

Reality is two things: He's going into a situation in which Beck will be playing second fiddle to Urban Meyer. It is Meyer's offense he'll be calling plays for, assuming he even calls the plays. Secondly, Beck was hampered significantly at Nebraska. We lacked the QB, WRs, and TEs necessary to be a dynamic offense. He's going into a situation with actual QBs who can throw to receivers with real speed and athleticism.
Husker fans need to remember he was working with what he had here, which hasn't been much the last two seasons. Get the fantasy out of your heads that we had the players necessary to be successful on offense, and it was Becks fault our offense struggled. Outside of Ameer, we didn't have much.

I couldn't care less where the old coaches go or what they're doing. They're not here contributing to this team so there's no need to care about Beck any more. Let it go
If you score, it's game over. Is it risky? Of course it is but if you risk nothing, you gain nothing.
Your scenario is playing to not lose. And that strategy fails as often as it works.
I would agree with your plan if the team was up by 2 or more scores. Or if I knew my opponent had an incredibly crappy 2 minute offense. If neither of these apply, I'm going for more points. And if I think I can grab those points in one long bomb, I'll give it a shot.
Star ratings aren't always accurate. As far as whether or not this kid is a superstar? If he's got Urban Meyer interested, then I'm interested.

Most of the services' ratings are based off camp performances. So if he hasn't gone to a lot of them, his rating could be lower than some kids who have to a bunch of camps, even if he was actually better than them. He is a high 3-star, which means if he went to a few more camps, he could have easily been a 4-star. Basically ratings are not an end all, tell all of how good a player is/can be.

Yeah, I'm willing to bet recruiting rankings don't shed light on kids' work ethic/will to improve. Otherwise 5 star busts and 2 star All-Americans wouldn't exist.

That is one of the most cynical viewpoints of anything I have ever read on the subject. You may very well have written that in total sarcasm, but if not, I just don't understand the cynicism. Is it not possible that he actually left for exactly what he said? Perhaps, he actually felt he had complete imbalance in his life to a point that he was unhealthy and felt it necessary to step away, but he realized he had to come back to his passion after finding a way to balance it out so it didn't cause health issues? I have never understood the principle of going to the most cynical viewpoint first. Not only is the viewpoint expressed in the quoted text incredibly cynic, but conspiracy theorist, as well.
Some people do things for reasons you wouldn't. It happens in every single aspect of life; because they choose a certain path does not mean they have something to hide. Take it for what it's worth, but I do not understand the constant cynic.
