High profile recruit

[cruelhalo]

Our friend's son will be signing his papers on Wednesday. Has offers from every school. I asked him why Nebraska doesnt show as an offer on his Rivals page. He said it was so strange. Said they [the previous staff] expected him to fall all over himself because Nebraska walked into the room. Said they were arrogant (he used the word cocky) and didn't seem sincere. Said they offered but said there was no way he would sign and play for the previous staff.

I asked him if he would have had any interest in Nebraska if things were different and he said hell yes. Said he did his own research on schools. He committed [PAC 12] in early 2022 and never looked back. After his commitment, he and his family shut it down.

I asked him who surprised him the most during the recruiting process. He didn't hesitate and said Nick Saban. Told him he would be required to work hard and there are no guarantees he would see the field. Saban showed attention to little details that made it difficult to say no to him.

Nebraska will see him in a couple of years if the BIG 10 scheduling works out for the new left coast schools.

Great story.

Amazing story OP, and sad at the same time. No wonder we couldn't win with the arrogant golden boy.

Does not surprise me at all. SF seemed like he was still living in the 90s and early 2000s. This would also make sense why he would always bring up his benching as well. Head was not on right with SF when he was here.

So did we even offer? Or just asked him to walk-on?

Sometimes I read things on signs, or posts, and wonder "Did that need to be said"? Take this place I ran across a week ago on a bike ride. I'm thinking "Sewage lagoon" was plenty.... and that "No trespassing" was completely unnecessary, along with the barbed wire. In fact I'm not even sure a fence was required here.....

One thing you've said that is so very true is that just because an offer isn't listed on a recruits profile doesn't mean they weren't offered a scholarship

Sounds a lot like franks style of recruiting

 

[cruelhalo]

Offer came in the form of an offer letter

So did we even offer? Or just asked him to walk-on?

It's sad really because the kid is so genuine... none of the gangsta crap and fanning money in pictures. His parents taught him the old school ways.

He is so incredibly fast on the field and doesn't celebrate after scoring TDs.

Every stupid sign, rule or regulation came about because someone did just that!🤣

Which time?

He probably stayed wasted so when LP came and beat his ass he wouldnt feel it.

With contacts like that, you should consider becoming a National Recruiting Analyst.

How long have you lived in America? While the rules and regs seem stupid and overly simple at times...Remember they are there because some dipshit did exactly the thing that requires this sign.

Well let's see, I'm 54, born in Kansas and never left the states, sooooo 54 years.

I actually hate warning signs on anything...other than keep out of reach of children. Just let natural selection take its course...

 

[Dean Pope]

I've heard that about Saban and Alabama. I can't speak toward any cheating that goes on without Saban's knowledge, but as far as Saban is concerned it's a give no quarters, ask no quarters type of deal. Come here and you will compete with the best. We'll make you better.

The bartenders at Lincoln CC would agree with you.

Reminds me of the sign on the portable pumpout for the boat sewage tank at a marina I visited. "Do Not Drink" still makes me laugh.

The interesting thing is - Frost had nothing to be arrogant about after his first season at Nebraska. His time at Nebraska might as well have has the Benny Hill theme song playing in the background. Dude managed to become the worst football coach in Nebraska history, you have to be a complete dolt to do that in the current age of Nebraska football.

Frank was a lazy ass recruiter.

I tell people at work who complain about stupid rules that Stupid rules are created because stupid people did stupid shit. They look at me like Im calling them stupid....which I probably am.

Is this how most kids are to you? Nice use of Ebonics in your post. Keep them kids off your lawn.

Imagine not being happy after scoring a TD.

Imagine not being happy after scoring a TD.

Imagine being humble.

Okay, I just did.

So then u know what I’m talking about. Especially in Kansas.

 

[FuzzyFreddy]

Imagine not being happy after scoring a TD.

Imagine thinking scoring a touchdown is some major accomplishment in life overall.

 

[GeauxBigRed]

Oh interesting! This is the first I’m hearing of any issues with the former staff.

Thanks for sharing!

You sound like a skill player at Iowa.
