Fastest man at The Opening Finals is...

Isaac Taylor Stuart with a 4.32 handheld. Noteworthy because of this tidbit:

Four-star 2018 cornerback Isaac Taylor-Stuart remembers his first meeting with Nebraska’s newest corner, Elijah Blades.

It was last summer at a Nike Regionals camp. The two squared off in a 40-yard race. Just the two of them, one of the best cornerbacks in the 2017 class against one of the best in the 2018 class.


“He beat me,” Taylor-Stuart admitted, despite his previous clocking of 4.3 seconds in the 40.

Is it finalized with Blades? When is he supposed to be on campus?

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

I'm so much faster than this joker it's not even close. Just ask my wife.


Also, they'd both be lucky to finish any race vs numerous Bo Jackson clones that frequent this board.

 

[c3ntral08]

Yeah is Blades N yet?

 

[Cornicator]

Blades is doubtful.

Blades is doubtful.

If he can't make it, is he going JUCO? Are we 'placing' him somewhere?

Makes sense.

I could use a Blacksmith apprentice this summer. I will teach Blades to fine-tune, hone, and sharpen his skill set.

Some husker fans seem to think differently. I have no inside source on this. Do you Cornicator or is that just your read?

Hopefully Blades tweet and a few posts from the link are better informed then you on this

 

[tone1017]

I have no insider info at all but I tend to agree with the idea that if he was qualified he'd have made it a lot more clear than a cryptic tweet by now. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Morgan747]

If Blades is qualified, why isn't he in Lincoln then?

Vacation? illness, either himself or sick grandma? Who knows?

If you are posting here, why is it only when something potentially negative is happening? I don't see you posting in the thread about Lee and all the accolades he is receiving... But when you do post it is only negative, and I know what response you will send my way... You will be insulting my intelligence for one thing... That's all you ever do. But you post nothing constructive on this board.

Well you're f-ing blind then. I posted here quite awhile ago Lee is potentially a 1 and done guy and everyone jumped all over me. Now with the positive press he's getting it backs up what I was saying. If you don't like what I say, skip over my post then sheriff!

The second summer session doesn't start until next Monday. It is well documented that Blades had work to do and wouldn't make the first summer session. In order to work out with the team and live on campus, I am pretty sure you have to be attending classes. That would explain why he isn't here now, even if he subsequently qualified.

Now since he was retaking classes during the summer, it is also possible the classes arent yet finished and he hasn't yet received the grades, thatbwould also explain why he isn't here yet. Although, as I mentioned, I am pretty positive you can't just live in dorms if you aren't currently attending classes.

The third option is that he didn't get the grades needed and didn't qualify.

Since you limit who can see your page, I just did a quick search of your screen name. Went back 4 pages. Didn't see your complimentary post about Lee. Forgive me for not believing it, since the overwhelming evidence suggests all you do is bitch about negative stuff.

I did find this gem about Cameron Brown, where you claim he didn't have a list of impressive offers, for example... just Georgia, Bama and wisconsin at the time... This is the Morgan747 I am familiar with. It's another receiver, so it's bad, no matter who he has offers from... Today we can add the likes of Ohio State as well, but still unimpressive... If you said Lee was a 1 and done guy, show me. And I will show you 10 times as many posts like the one below.

I doubt it. Look at his offers, not that impressive!

I really don't care what you say or do. I told you it was long, long before the positive press. If you don't like it, I guess it's too bad then!

So since I missed one freaking positive post from you that makes me f'in blind. Got it.

I think you have selective eyesight. I will look it up and post it especially for you!

I posted this originally in early November, as usual the wise asses got after me. Reposted it Febr

Lee can make all the throws the staff require him to make. He's good in the screen game and he's got a nice deep ball too. As they say, he can really spin it! His wheels are good enough that he can keep defenses honest. He can scramble fairly well when he needs to.

I think we need to keep the zone read game with him just to make the opposing defenses having to prepare for it. The NFL scouts like him a lot. We'll just have to wait and see how things go under the lights so to speak but he has a chance to be a 1st rounder. Gotta do it on the field but that 1st round projection is not off base.

He does have eyes in the back of head. He has a sense of when to step up into the pocket to deliver throws. He can move the pocket adequately. I'm really high on the guy. We are very fortunate to have him. I have heard he may be a one and done guy. I don't know about that though. We need him to stay the 2 years.

It's a good thing he has a really quick release because with bad protection he may be running for his life.

Appreciate the post, and sorry I missed it earlier.

Fastest guy at the Opening is Anthony Schwartz. Guy runs like a 10 flat 100m as a high school junior.
