are we ignoring a local qb?

[Walleye79]

Certain posters seems to just need a purpose to bitch and Moan about something. Even in February.

 

[RedMyMind]

But Thomalla would see the field because he is a Nebraska kid?

maybe he could be a TE

 

[king_kong_]

If a kid or coach has the goods to do the job

herein lies the rub

Dylan has the goods.

his relatives? jury is out.

 

[NikkiSixx]

And here I thought this thread was gonna be about HH..

 

[huntered]

seems like a consistent lack in dynamic talent evaluators at Nebraska for quite some time.

 

[spartanhusker]

oh

And here I thought this thread was gonna be about HH..

oh tgat will come later😂😂😂

If you say so. I don't think either would ever play a down here and both will be recruited over before getting a chance.

Kong usually in step with you but just play devils advocate on Dayton,

He hasn’t had a chance to put a lot of film together. He backed up big bro his sophomore year. So he’s started 1 year of HS football

he led Buford further in the state playoffs last year then Dylan did the year before. And Dayton probably had less talent around him than Dylan is. GA HS football is elite

He’s shorter then what people like @ QB, and shorter then Dylan so that’s part of the reason why the low offers

And if the staff is going to carry 5 QBs on the 105, I see no reason not to bring in 2 QBs in 2026. Warren and Dayton are likley better than Longval, Soukup, and Granstamd

He threw for 700 fewer yards than Dylan on just 50 fewer attempts.

He possesses none of the elite traits as big bro, last name excepted, of course.

Lack of talent is the reason for zero P4 offers.

Maybe so. Do I think he’d be offered without his bro or last name? Anyone that tells you different is insane. But he isn’t his brother. Dylan’s don’t come to us every year

It will be interesting to see what he does this year as second year starter. And maybe it’s too risky to take projects anymore but if he doesn’t cut the mustard, you can move him much quicker then you use to. Plus I find it hard to think Dylan stays past his Jr season. So you could move Dayton much easier then

Dayton has grown to 6'2 so his height is not a problem. Still growing as well.

He starts at a Georgia powerhouse, he didn't win the position by default. Dayton has a higher YPC average than Dylan did on a team with far less WR talent. He has an elite arm and has had a lot of advanced coaching. His lack of offers probably comes from the fact that he is about as sure of a "lock" to go to NU than any one is a lock anywhere.

He’s far less accurate, even less mobile

I hope you’re right, but an elite kid being a “lock” to go somewhere has never stopped others from offering. Literally ever.

Consider me dubious.

I have no idea. Just was pointing out a few things. From hat I've read he is pretty accurate on short and intermediate but kinda erratic on long balls.
He's going into his junior year and has one year of starting. Let's see how he progresses. He has two years to get those other offers.

He’s going into his senior year

If you have a chance to get the #1 rated 5* player in the country you do it. Even if it means keeping his relative employed and giving his brother a scholarship. No brainer.

100% correct.

Donovan is a huge asset.

Not sure why people think that makes him a great OL coach? All evidence would point to the contrary.

It’s a catch 22 for Nebraska coaching staff the need to recruit the local talent but here lately look at all the busts from in state players! Is cam jurgens the last in state player to succeed and he struggled his first couple seasons

Yup it's definitely a catch 22. Recruit and sign guys like Kaelin, McMorris and Hall etc and we celebrate. A year later two are basically "processsed" out and the other leaves.

The old "he's likely to stick around" mantra isn't really a good deal unless the kid is really good. Borderline and below average kids will he gone in 2 years anyways. Lately we have recruited and signed many more of that version of kids than stars. Especially if we are talking skill positions. It's not been the best.

I'm not sure how we can afford to sign "marginal" instate guys moving forward. Even the ones we thought were "good" ended up meh.

I've said it in the past but the more these new 105 rules come into play the more I think you have to grade guys evenly regardless of where they are from. I'm comparing every instate OL,DL, QB etc with his national competition and whoever is the best should get the offer. If they flame out they flame out.
