With the way NU's OL has been a sieve, it's probably in HH's best interest to have been a bench warmer. Otherwise, we might be able to add him to the walking wounded like CT, Smothers, and Purdy.
I don't get angry, but the fact you said that proves my point.

I'd take this kid in a heartbeat. He has the type of speed that can be translated into multiple positions on the field.
I understand your reluctance, but when you look at his high school stats he could throw, so not sure what happened at Arkansas. This staff feels like they can make him a better thrower. Looks like we’ll see out of the blocks how good this staff is going to be at developing players.
That's a good article.Malik Hornsby’s Trainer Doesn’t Mince Words about Nebraska Target’s QB Problems at Arkansas
Malik Hornsby's camp says that he didn't get the "nurturing" he wanted at Arkansas, but the bigger picture shows deeper issues at play.
By all means, let's not have the Huskers make a mistake on a kid with world-class speed. It makes so much more sense to carry Smothers and Purdy who can't accurately throw the ball across my living room.
I'd say because we went a couple decades just asking a qb to hit a pass every 8th play...
I am not sure what you are saying, but Smothers and Purdy are very good examples of flawed quarterbacks who have proven they can’t be relied on to win games. Both are severely flawed. I personally don’t understand why they were ever offered a scholarship. Purdy, was only signed by Frost because he was a one time recruit of Florida State’s (he is not his older brother, that is for sure). Why are we fans so accepting of the recruitment of a quarterback who can’t pass accurately? The take that Rhule can develop him into a good quarterback seems to me a lot of extra effort. Get a quarterback who already possesses great skills and make him even better. Football is all about the quarterback and Nebraska hasn’t had one with the exception of Ganz for about twenty years.
Since it's not your time or effort why would you worry about it?
From what the article said he prefers to be a QB..Watched the LSU game he wasn’t very accurate passer..LSU had a edge rusher who sacked him 3 times..
Why? I don't know anything about him except his HS film and Spring Game performance and all that looked good. Did you see him play in HS or do you have some other awareness to form your opinion the scholly was wasted?
It’s just my opinion, but If he’s been in the program as long as he has, was passed by Purdy, and our Walk On QB from Hastings who was listed behind Purdy on the depth chart tells me he’s not doing near enough in practice. If he’s not showing anything yet to even make QB 3, then I think that’s what we’re going to get. I’ve also seen many posts that his arm is strong but he really struggles with accuracy. Maybe some new coaching would help, but that’s how I feel now.
How does anyone know anything about Haarburg? We've never seen him in a real game. I can't believe he can be worse than Purdy. Purdy is an accident waiting to happen. I am hoping Chubba enters the transfer portal. He can be closer to his family and brother if he joins Nevada, UNLV or Fresno State. UNLV has a new staff with Barry Odom in charge. Let the Rebels have him.
I agree. Purdy was brutal this year, and I agree that he can’t be depended on to win games. I spoke about HH a little more above, but has been in the program two years and is 3 spots behind Purdy on the depth chart. If you’re a that far down to where walk ons are passing you on the chart, then something just isn’t right.
I wish he'd enter the portal too. But if he does, doesn't he have sit a year since it would be his second transfer?
