Hall to the portal

[kakdawg]

I’m speculating the new receiver coach will demand blocking and running precise routes unlike the jr high coach we previously had

I hope so otherwise what are you doing. No more stopping by the office to eat snacks and shit. No more trying to be a "friend". This is big business and should be treated as such.

that sucks, homegrown 4*

I thought kid looked pretty talented on film. But I've seen so many guys "look" talented and it never translate to the field that I'm numb to it. Wake me up when one of these guys leave Nebraska and thrives at another school.

I still feel that way. I won't shed any tears for Hall though. Some of those Omaha Metro kids do not have an in-state mentality. Heck, most of the good basketball talent won't even consider Nebraska.

I think it is pretty common in basketball for "city" kids to go anywhere. Far more Seattle area kids go out-of-state than stay and play for the Huskies, Cougs and even the Zags. For example, Jaylin Stewart from Seattle's Garfield High is playing for UConn.

Stewart is a relative of UCONN Alum Donny Marshall.

Who is from Federal Way, WA, a Seattle suburb. Interesting piece of trivia, Donny, was an All-State Soccer player too. I watched Donny play just about everything. I lived in the same area and Federal Way High is where my brother went for his senior year of high school after our dad got transferred from Nebraska to Seattle.

Donny was a fan favorite in Storrs. Love the quote from Calhoun about Donny during his Junior year. “He’s making shots he wouldn’t have taken last year, and would have needed written permission to take his freshman year.”

Classic example of a kid who is deemed a four star early in his HS career and doesn't get much better. Common story at NU in the last 12 years or so.

Yes they do.

Well, I don’t know any specifics about UNK, but there are definitely NIL programs at DII schools.

So we thinking this was a Rhule force out? Hopefully he would be smart enough to not leave without a good offer.

For the years toward the end of Mac Brown's time at TX, people wondered why Mac's always top ten ranked recruiting class were able to underperform. Well, every year Texas gets the pick of high talent emerging from their Jr HS year and the coaches (all with quite a bit of tenure) often has their players committed before the kids played a single down of Sr year football. So they got more than a few kids for whom their Jr year of HS was their best year. Frost's game was taking kids that had blue chip athleticism, but were NR between the ears and just not particularly good FB players.

I don’t know how much things have improved at UNK but when they moved to the MIAA a decade ago they were giving out about 15 scholarships out of the 36 allowed in D2. I know it’s improved a lot since then but I doubt they are giving the full 36 plus NIL

Coach Osborne once spoke to this. He said you have to be careful when recruiting Texas kids. Since they either train for or play football year-round, many of them have already reached their full potential by 11th or 12th grade. They won't get bigger, stronger or faster regardless of how you try to develop them.
