So funny. And original!
Watched the new Netflix special 23 hours to kill last night. Jerry Seinfeld has got nothing on you, my man!
True. Some people prefer "never was" to "has been". I don't blame them. See if you can help a program win something for once.
Best of luck to him. Except for one weekend a year.
Instead he elects for no past, no present and no future? To each their own, I guess.
Iowa has only had 3 WRs drafted in the last 20 years. Nebraska, 5.
Fidone will likely choose Nebraska. Nebraska's had 1 TE drafted in the last 20 years. Iowa, 11.
Tell us again which one is making the bad choice? Don't let the data get in your way.
We have to actually land Fidone. I’ve heard we are not trending in the right direction for his signature. Still a lot of time as I don’t think he’s committing soon.
People close to his recruitment have said, KJ did not think he was a priority for Nebraska. I thought this was always a tough one for the staff. It wasn't like Watts or Dickerson, where he was near the top of their board, that's for sure. It seemed like they were forced to offer him after Iowa did and, honestly, if Iowa hadn't offered, I'm still not sure Nebraska would have. This is a guy with only 3 P5 offers. It sucks losing an in-state legacy kid, but if he wasn't a legacy, we would be whining about taking a commit from a kid with his profile. A bit of a no win situation.
Losing any instate is bad. This is going to sound bad, but his talent is a dime a dozen. This doesn't suck for the fact we lost out on some uber talented kid, we can pull in 5 kids just like him, it sucks because we need to keep any instate talent home. Again Im sure this comes across as "we didn't want him anyways". I did want him,wish he would have picked here. I just don't think it is a massive miss from a talent perspective.
It must suck losing to Iowa every season...It must suck sitting home during bowl season...yessir Stinkin Lincoln is where it all happens!!!
You are so original. Did you come up with that yourself? We are so proud of you for finally learning to write. Maybe next you can start reading?
Agreed with your comments until you got to this point. Outside of Robinson, there's not a guy in the Nebraska WR room I'd swap with an upcoming Hawkeye WR. (maybe Spielman assuming he's even playing again). I just don't think you're aware of what Iowa has in the WR room IMO, and that's OK, you're a Husker fan so that's understandable.
Nebraska has been to 53 bowl games, Iowa 33.
Nebraska is 29-18-3 against Iowa head-to-head.
You guys come over to brag about getting a first down in a game you're losing by 30. It's adorable.
Not that it matters but Iowa State and Nebraska offered, Iowa did the next day.
Recruiting: Johnson currently has offers from Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas State, Nebraska, North Dakota State, Northern Illinois, South Dakota State and Wyoming.
"[Nebraska and] Iowa State [offered] on the same night and then, Iowa the next day. It was a surreal feeling because it's what you work for. I try not to get frustrated over the whole recruiting process because everyone has their different times. It's hard to see that time coming, but I try to keep that same mindset that everyone has a different road. I knew when it was my time, it was my time. That's basically it.

Thanks. I seemed to recall him taking that visit to Iowa and then us offering, right away. Either way, congrats.
To be fair, Nebraska offers pretty much everybody. They lead the nation with offers for NEXT YEAR'S class. Over 200. Iowa has 30, for example. So basically anybody else who gets a commit beats out Nebraska for the guy. Lol.
Thank you
I see you have the POY in Hawaii visiting. Looks like a good receiver. It is really hard to tell how any of them will do in college. Game really changes from HS to D1.
Good luck in recruiting and next season. Ready to get back to some good discussion about football. I thinks a few fans really ruin good conversations between fan bases. I am too old for that crap.
Still doesn’t mean Fidone is leaning toward iowa over Nebraska
Agree, Im not talking current WR. Im saying we are stacked on the young guys incoming. Plus whatever we get in the 2021 class. He would have a up hill battle to beat many of these guys out. At Iowa he will stand out. I don't fault him. Go where you will get guarantee playing time and have a chance to shine.
2020 class
Zavier Betts .9506
Alante Brown .8897
Marcus Fleming. 9075
Omar Manning . 9053
William Nixon .8647
Compare that to Iowa 2020 class
Diante Vines .8530
Quavon Matthews .8296 .

Why did you include Butler and Cooper, they are OLB's. Also, you left off your highest rated WR, Betts .9506
owned iowa. he was 3-1(a few points from 2-2, a couple scores from 1-3) and outscored us by 1 point while he was coaching for you.
that is your definition of "owning" these days.
Wait I thought winning on last second FG's was owning? Does that only apply when Iowa wins?
bet you wouldn't say the same about the last 2 iowa-nu games
Arguing who is a better program is irrational on here. Historically Nebraska is a Blue blood yes. Who has been a better program since these kids have been alive is the question that needs answered. I’m not bored enough to look up statistics. Recruiting is all about momentum and right now 5 in a row is making a difference. I think the biggest flaw for Nebraska is offering 400+ kids and not having an actual identity about what type of kid they want. Get back to making offensive and defensive line play being priority rather than all these scratch and dent 4* from who knows where and you’re back. Just my undeducated opinion.
I'm not going to speculate on kids who haven't even stepped on to the college field yet, that is a fool's errand and scout rankings amount to a pool of spit. Johnson will have to earn his playing time just like any walk-on or 5* recruit would as well.
That being said, from a current WR perspective, the path to playing time appears clearer in Lincoln than Iowa City currently, but as you know a lot can change from year to year.
I'm glad to have Johnson, not necessarily a speed merchant, but I really like his physicality and overall athleticism. Seems like a great kid as well, which is a trait many programs don't emphasize when throwing out offers. Character counts, and it counts even more in Iowa City.
Why are Iowa fans obsessed with the number of recruits Nebraska offers? BTW, I would say recruiting has been pretty darn good for Nebraska, since Frost got to town. Also, our OL recruiting has been the best it's been in a long time. Unfortunately you might have a point on our DL recruiting, it has ben pretty underwhelming.
no that would be outscoring you by 80 some points and 5-0 the past 5 years. that sounds a lot more like "owning"
I can only speak for myself and I’m not obsessed. I’m just assuming it’s pretty difficult to develop a culture of any sort without actually having mold or cast of what type of football player/kid you want. Doesn’t matter if he is best prospect in the world if he’s not there mentally. Some of the highest ranked recruits Iowa ever never saw the field because of that. Once again that’s just my opinion.
