Lardarious. Junior.His dad, Lardarius Sr., was a versatile athlete. Played two seasons at Southern Miss ('05-'06) as a DB before transferring to Nicholls State ('07-'08). In his first season there, the coaches decided to have him play QB and DB since he had been an option QB in high school.
He is the only player in NCAA Division I history to receive the conference awards of Offensive Player of the Week, Defensive Player of the Week and Special Teams Player of the Week in a single season. He was also a 1st Team All-American at the FCS level.
He parlayed all of that into a 9-year NFL career with the Ravens. Let's hope the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

Great post. Papa kind of pioneered what we think of now as a true slot corner in the NFL. Terrific player.His dad, Lardarius Sr., was a versatile athlete.

Any chance Fish and this kids Dad are friends from the NFL? Does that overlap at all?
Trying to figure out what that tells me about the rating system.did I say end of the week? went from UNR to 3-star in less than 90mins post-commitment
good perspective for rankings and the way they're happened upon, I suppose
it's completely arbitrary and subjective?Trying to figure out what that tells me about the rating system.
You are correct sir!it's completely arbitrary and subjective?
DiCaprio Bootle was about the same size as Lardarius is when DiCaprio was recruited.He is small. So was Barron Miles. Sometimes these smaller DB’s are flat-out ballers.
This is probably a good get. But only time will tell.
not a lot of info on him, but I'm sure he'll be a 3-star by week's end

And Josh Mitchell makes Webb look like a giant.DiCaprio Bootle was about the same size as Lardarius is when DiCaprio was recruited.
Diamond in the rough players are a great for feel good stories, but they don't happen often. I would feel much better if Frost was pulling in 4 star guys with 20+ offers. I love the positive attitude and optimism many of you show towards these type of commits . I wish I could as well, but all I can think of with these type of commits is, taking up a scholarship spot to sit the bench 4 years. In today's day and age uber talented guys just to go "under the radar" . His only offer is from Southern Miss, there is probably a reason for that.Apparently the coaches see something in him that others don’t...
Hopefully he’s a true diamond in the rough player for us!

I hope he blows up this year year, get tons of offers, turns into a 4 star and becomes a contributing starter for the Huskers. I really do hope I have to eat my words on him 3 or 4 years from now, but if I had to place money on it I doubt he even sniffs playing time at Neb and probably transfers out to play at Southern miss by year 2.
I know Im sounding like a little bitch. Im just tired of this lower level, Iowa type recruiting thing we got going on. Then I look at recruiting rankings and see a basketball school like North Carolina, who killing it in recruiting year 2 under Brown. We have to do better in recruiting.
Let's hope Ladarius has similar speed!
Loved me some Josh Mitchell. He was tiny but tough as hell.And Josh Mitchell makes Webb look like a giant.
I know at that is what I have to realize. Winning will fix recruiting. It just takes a season or 2 of winning and recruits will be knocking down the door.I feel the same way, but we have to start winning 8 games a year or more before that becomes easier. Right now, I trust Fisher as a recruiter and developer of talent and hope this kid turns out to be good. Honestly, he's stocked the DB room with enough talent and a mix of "we'll see" guys that I'm pretty confident our secondary is going to be just fine for years. The success of the team does not hinge on having this kid turn into his father, but if he does, hey, kick ass!
This, this kid is smooth, normally I've been one to bitch about stars but when it comes to Fish its best not to question him. Lardarius will end up high 3 low 4 star if there's a high school football season.Let's hope he is much better than Bootle
