Unfortunately the ai autocorrect function makes some poor judgements at times. I often find myself having to go back and correct the autocorrections in texts and media posts.
I use the voice recording messaging on my cellphone. I come up with some real doozies too.
Nope. Just a troll. And an Iowa fan. That's how it works here.
I wonder what kind of plan they have for Connor moving forward to next season.. Can’t really say he’s better than Emmit Johnson..
We desperately need a stud running back better than what have on the roster presently..

Frank wasn't recruiting him either. Callahan would have had to offer him as a senior.
I left Nebraska for military in 1981 and have only traveled back to visit my parents until they passed. Sorry, but I have no reason to study up or desire to know the classifications of Nebraska High school football.
So the question was, can I still be a Husker fan not knowing the classification even though I've been on this board for 18 years. Another thing I don't care about is how long you've been on this board.
People these days crack me up. It's like they've one up you if they know something you don't!
Solich was fired in Nov '03, right after Woodhead's final season of HS football. Solich was well aware of Woodhead but wouldn't offer a scholarship and wanted him to walk-on. Woodhead's parents were teachers and passing up scholarship offers to walk-on at NU wasn't in the cards. Callahan wasn't hired until a month before the '04 signing day - doubt he had any idea who Woodhead was. If Solich (or Callahan) had offered, he would have been a Husker. The irony of Solich not offering Woodhead is that you'd think Frank would be the last person to underestimate an RB due to size. Not to mention one of the most productive IB's Solich recruited while HC was Cory Ross who was built very similar to Woodhead.
I think we just need to get him on the field with other D1 athletes and see what he can do. I don’t think there’s reason to completely rule out the possibility he could be better than EJ? Just too many unknowns at that level of Nebraska HS football.
Sure he's playing with really good teammates against lesser teams in a lower division. But that kid is fun to watch. He certainly looks the part. He looks like some of those unheralded Big 10 RBs that we have been seeing these last dozen years.
I haven't followed him closely, but from the clips that I have seen:
1. He should buy his offensive lineman some nice Christmas gifts, he is getting excellent blocking.
2. His post-touchdown strutting needs a little work.
Seems like a pretty solid athlete, but at that level you should dominate everyone you play if you are a high end division 1 prospect. He got completely shut down by Catholic in the championship. I don't recall him having a ton of production against Battle Creek in the semis either, but I might be misremembering that.
He was hurt for the Norfolk catholic game. Facts are he was one of the most prolific rushers in the country this year. I’d say that qualifies as “dominating the competition”. No idea if he will pan out but the idea that his numbers are artificial or not good enough because he was c-2 is absurd. On October 30th he was 3rd in country in rushing. In. The. Country.
I have not lived in Nebraska for almost 50 years, but I still know all the classifications for Nebraska high schools. I stayed connected to the state. Always go back one or two times a year which is pretty remarkable as I have no family there. My family left me behind by moving out-of-state while I was going to UNL. I do have an advantage that I have friends who still live in Nebraska whose kids and grandkids were pretty good athletes, and I still follow the old hometown. It is not that hard with the paper only coming out once a week. I would think if any Husker fan ever read the L SJ or OWH online they would look at the high school sports section.

I will see your 3-4 teams and raise you to 5 or 6 teams!
. Historically we’ve had some great players from small schools. There aren’t as many great athletes in the smaller schools but there’s still some.
Didn't realize he was hurt, so hopefully that was the reason for the poor production in the championship. I didn't mention anything about his stats being artificial or not good enough. He is a very good athlete on a team with an excellent offensive line.
Seeing this thread bumped had me thinking he hit the portal already….

The city has a back that some might say is better as a pure rb.

Thanks for posting this. Wahoo was totally unstoppable at the end of the season in C-1. Too bad they couldn't have played against some of the better Class B teams. I would love to see what they could have done against Omaha Skutt.
Is this kid a junior? He's gonna have to bulk up a little bit and test out well this summer to get his shot. He reminds me of Danny Woodhead- great production, smaller stature. He's going to absolutely destroy teams next season if Wahoo has any sort of an offensive line.
He is a junior. I don't think he is NU material at this point. He will make a great D2 back or even an FCS player if he wants to. Because of Wahoo's margin of victory in most games he played limited snaps. He very well could have a monster year next season. Wahoo will be good, how good will remain to be seen.
He wasn't healthy because they ran him into the ground. Lots of carries throughout his career. He played a portion of the semifinal game.
He got hurt in the first qt against BC in the semis tried a few series here and there but was a no go. All he did was come in and punt . Against NC he had a brace on his left knee . He broke a few longer runs and was looking decent.then right away in the 3rd he went down again and he was done .
Ya he played like 12 snaps against BC before he got hurt. He had a brace on against NC . I forgot to tell The OP they played NC the first game of the year he had like 250 against them. I was sitting with the Neumann AD at the state championship game he told me Booth was 50 percent tops.
Franks #1 failing was trusting Gillespie. Ultimately cost him his job. That dipshit was responsible for the go no go in recruiting.
