The struggle is real.Welcome! The last time I laboriously deliberated about something was when considering to make if a double screwdriver in a tall glass, or Jack on the rocks neat.

His offer list is sort of Bo Pelinish.....
Is this the guy that the Huskeronline podcast crew were talking about the staff viewing as a potential NFL TE prospect?
watch him highpoint balls and take them away from defenders in the Rivals camp highlights. We could have used somebody like him in the redzone for the past couple of years. Sticky hands it appears.Young man looks to be a solid player with options to get on the field early in certain situations.
You can see the vision of the Frost offense come into focus with the early commits so far. Let's get some linemen to get the next level of vision set up.
Excited to see who is coming and who is still looking to join the program.
It is that except for the Illinois offer. I don't really care on this one. This kid fills a specific need in the red zone IMO. He's a matchup problem for DBs and appears to have very good hands. How many more TDs would we have scored this past season with a 6-6 guy with those kind of hands that can take balls away from people? I think at least a few.His offer list is sort of Bo Pelinish.....
He had me at, "laboriously". Ball skills + brains = beyond tremendous!
Anyone have any idea why no other schools were after this kid? I believe the only other Power 5 that offered him was Illinois.

It looks like NU is looking for him to be a hybredIllinois, Toledo, FAU. So I agree it is a Pelini-esque offer list, but hopefully he's a diamond in the rough. We have so many Tight Ends already that it seems like this scholarship could have been used better at a position of need.
It does, however:
This is a coaching staff that has just a handful of days to get kids committed before the early signing period. They have a very limited time period to grab up as many serviceable kids as possible
Scott Frost was recruiting to CFU- not NU. There were lots of kids he just had no chance at getting to a 50,000 student commuter college that attracts 28,000 to home games in crumbling stadium- in a 2,500,000 urban sprawl that doesnt care 2 licks about CFU football. Its REALLY hard getting strong 4 stars- developing relationships with them this late in the process.
SF has done well identifying under recruited/under valued kids that have worked in his system AND helped develop them to their full potential
This years goal- get some kids to fill some immediate needs
Fill out the roster with kids that have potential and will work hard/buy in
This staff will recruit classes in the 15-20 range by year 3 AND they will retain those kids- just watch
Referring to my post right above this one, one good clue: “Husker”fan has 47 posts and four times that number of likes.I am not a star gazer but I do pay close attention to what other schools offer a kid. Just making an observation is all.

This kid reminds me of Quincy. Doesn't do any one thing that blows your mind but just strong lower body and a pain in the ass to tackle. He looks so comfortable in traffic, he's out there with DBs breathing down his neck like he doesn't have a care in the world. Sneaky hard to tackle.Another big receiver visiting this weekend

It's not all one way or another. I don't mind a few unheralded kids who have a great frame to grow into a new position and the athleticism to play it well. I think McGriff got overlooked because he's a TE playing WR and teams don't know what kind of in-line blocker he'd be.I don't know. But I don't know why Kareem Hunt, Jordan Howard, Antonio Brown, & Adam Thielen were not recruited by big name schools either (just to name a few guys). I mean why in the hell was Lavonte David a 2-star out of HS when he signed with Middle TN State? David played on a HS football team that won back to back Florida State Championship. That team probably has the record for 4 & 5 stars on a single HS football team. How'd everyone look past David? He ended up the most decorated out of the bunch and by a lot. All the 4 & 5 stars on his HS team are playing in Canada, out of the league, or on Practice Squads. David's winning All- Pro awards and going to Pro-Bowls.
As a former star gazer myself, understand that this staff is going to be bringing a different mix. Development is key to this staff, just as it was key to TO. It was somewhat that way with Bo but he had trouble mixing in the super star prima donnas in with it. A good balance is needed. Take some guys who can develop and take some 4 & 5 stars. Riley's staff needed talent. They couldn't develop. Same with BC.
So if you get your panties in a bunch when we land a kid that no one else is recruiting, maybe it's time to invest in some yeast infection medication. Cause it's going to happen.
Could have thought of so many other different analogizes to try and get your point across.I don't know.

I do not, however, want to see a parade of low 3* kids every year and have to convince ourselves that our staff sees something that everyone else missed. You play the percentages. The math is clear, and you'll notice that your playoff teams all do very well in recruiting.
I see what they're thinking with McGriff. Big enough to strike and block on LBs but nimble enough to do it in space and be a threat as a receiver. Plus they already have lots of TEs so they can take on a project there.
And if he's predisposed to a profundity of verbosity, you always like the chances for a smart football player.
Right.The reality is no one knows. It's certainly more reassuring to have your bias confirmed by others, in this case it doesn't appear to be happening.
This class is going to be tough, maybe we can beat the odds and the diamonds in the rough types will turn out great. What is going to define the Frost era is probably the next 3 recruiting classes after this one.
The ones sitting here projecting where he'll play and how he'll do are part of the message board idiocy. At least Tanner Lee is going to be another 1st rounder for us, right?
Just like politics and religion. Nobody is ever going to see eye to eye on everything.I'm so happy Frost brought unity back to the Nebraska fan base - for like two days.
