Biggest NU recruit who flopped?

[Wyldcard]

Did not know that. I thought he was using when he was here.

Never did here.

 

[Trumplestiltskin]

Ben Rutz ….and there was some RB from Orange(?) Fl that was gonna be the next LP but in a good way

 

[NUSouth]

How about that 5* Michigan portal transfer defensive back who never saw the field.

OSU…but he wasn’t really heralded by anyone as the next big thing

 

[resdog851]

I will answer with a question. Who was that RB transfer that I think Riley brought in to be an all world RB. He played a lot in a couple games for no apparent reason (because he sucked), and then quit the team. Who was that guy?

The guy that beat Rutz out was... pretty good.

Tre Bryant or Kendall Bussey

Jordan Stevenson is the cat you’re thinking of!

 

[resdog851]

Thats him. I looked him up and I had my facts a little wrong. Dude returned six kickoffs and had zero carries it looks like. Then he quit the team. Boy he is probably all-pro by now.

 

[HBK4life]

Jordan Stevenson is the cat you’re thinking of!

Ha. I remember him. He was as useless as the analist posts.

 

[3fingershomer]

Jordan Stevenson is the cat you’re thinking of!

Wasn’t he only available because he couldn’t get into Wisconsin?

 

[Hugo_Stiglitz7]

I don't know how many were due to injury. Maybe not the "biggest" and also not trying to repeat some of the obvious, but some notables:

1. Jason Richenberger
2. Charles Jackson
3. Todd Peat
4. Noa Pola-Gates
5. Adam Taylor
6. Omar Manning
7. Justin Stephens
8. Constantine Dumitrisceau
9. Brian Knuckles
10. Keyshawn's kid

Dishonorable mention:
Brion Carnes
Marvin Sims
Larry Townsend
Maniaia Brown

Jordan Stevenson (Wisconsin).

 

[RecrutingAnalyst_World]

Cody Green they said he was Vince Young. My boy had a hard time handling snaps

 

[Bullsky]

This one threw me off....I didn't remember him at all. Definitely a flop.

High 4 star tight end from Millard West.

 

[cubsker]

High 4 star tight end from Millard West.

5 star by at least one service

 

[cubsker]

Tre Bryant or Kendall Bussey

Tre Bryant was really good, just couldn't stay healthy.

 

[TheHuskerFreak]

The same Marlon Lucky who has the single-season receptions record for NU at 75? The guy in the top 10 of several school records? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebraska_Cornhuskers_football_statistical_leaders

Nobody should say he was a flop.

Definitely not a flop. Maybe a slight letdown just based off the extremely high expectations, but not a flop

 

[TheNewNU]

I'll go by coach
Solich - Chris Septak
Callahan - Chris Brooks or Harrison Beck
Bo Pelini - Cody Green
Mike Riley - Jordan Stevenson
Scott Frost - Greg Bell

 

[HuskAir]

Cally had a bunch.

Andre Jones
Leon Jackson
Justin Tomerlin
Kenny Wilson
Harrison Beck

I was going to say Andre Jones

That's Chris Brooks Sr. to you.

 

[pascal]

Harrison Beck was the original Uncle Rico. I remember tales of his antics in his short time here.
Certainly not a boring guy.

Former Husker QB Harrison Beck is ‘the internet’s first starting quarterback’

Harrison Beck came to Lincoln with the world on his shoulders.

[spartanhusker]

Interesting...

and incorrect except that Mackovicka DID light him up...but long before he transferred....

Omar manning a way bigger bust than Greg bell

 

[big red22]

I'll start with Harrison Beck.

Well that would be way up there...

Curt Dukes
Craig Roark
Lydon Murtha

Those names stick out to me

 

[ridge22]

I saw Knuckles, I like that one.

Luke McCaffery
DaiShon Neal
Garrett Snodgrass
David Horne
Jay and Jon Spearman

Lydon Murtha. That guy was a physical specimen. I watched him get absolutely knocked the **** out in college and then ran and tattled after him and another FB player got worked over after running their mouth and trying to start shit. Street justice baby.

 

[schuele]

In the 80s the Huskers recruited a guy out of Colorado named Dan Casterline who was just a physical freak. I think he broke all kinds of strength and conditioning records and was by all accounts one of the hardest working guys on the team. But he moved around from safety to LB to FB and never found a position. Don't think he every played any meaningful snaps.

Vondre?

 

[Baxter48]

I always wonder were theses kids over rated by the recruiting analysts and were never that good to begin with? We need to remember the sports media has partial blame because they hype these kids up before they ever play a down of college football

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

I'm thinking a lot of these kids peak in high school 2 or 3 years before they kids they're playing with reach their peak and I imagine that has to be one of the hardest jobs as a coach to evaluate whether or not that has happened

Thank god we have the 2 best analysts in the world on our board now.

The National_analyst and Worldwide_analyst are second to none.

I thought Manaus Brown left cuz one of the coaches banged his old lady😂😂. I remember that floating around this Board. We lost him then Ngata went elsewhere.

 

[jteten]

Cody Green and Beck for bust. Biggest disappointments were Aaron Green and Joe Dailey. Green had success elsewhere but hopes were still very high that he was next great Husker TB. Not a system fit for Joe but it was still a very disappointing time when he was at the helm.

Green was no doubt a highly ranked recruit, but he left because he couldn't beat out Ameer Abdullah who became our 2nd all time leading rusher. Hard to be too disappointed in the big picture outcome there.

 

[timnsun]

Does this count? He’s a pretty big boy and he definitely flopped…

 

[SuperBigFan]

Vondre?

Vondre T?

That kid could play but man, what a pain in the ass.

 

[cmicek1]

Well that would be way up there...

Curt Dukes

Murtha had a pretty decent career here.
