Thompson is coming back and intends to win the starting job

[headcard]

Let’s go!!



“Listen, his thinking is he left the season as a starter and he expects to return and start next season," says Charles Thompson, Casey's father. "That's where his mindset is."

 

[RedCap]

Maybe the commitment of Sims spurred him to make a decision today. Wonder if that means Hornsby is out now?

 

[SkerInCo]

LFG

 

[SomedayHusker]

This is very good. He should win the job. He needs better blocking next year and he can tear it up. WR room should get interesting behind Washington and Brown.

I hope we still add Hornsby too. Let’s get some real competition cooking.

I hope Hornsby commits and moves to receiver. Can’t have too much speed.

Maybe. He has started 20 games, but Sims has started 23. Going to be fun to watch.

I thought I heard looking at Hornsby as an athlete....multiple positions perhaps

 

[Mack In Motion]

This last week just keeps getting better and better. Kick ass.

Might be difficult after he misses the spring. Missing spring if you’re not installing a new offense might not be a big deal but….. The problem for Casey is even if he transferred he would be in that same situation

 

[Trumplestiltskin]

Maybe it was playcalling but he sure went on long ass cold streaks I’m games.

 

[jteten]

injury probably had something to do with this as well, but either way, this is awesome news.

 

[redwine65]

his dad needs to show him some running moves, and we could have a rg 3...
best passer NU has and it's not close

 

[Danimal4NU]

This was CT's only option, I've been saying it since the end of the season. He is either coming back or he's done, he ain't transferring anywhere, no one is going to take him.

 

[BigRedBeliever]

Why can't we play two QB's? A new paradigm shift is warranted in college football.

Hornsby write up

Think some of you all should read this before expecting Hornsby to be the “need” or want you think

 

[Pennsyhusker]

This is a big deal. Kid is a baller.

Charlie McBride said today that he’s watched Hornsby and thinks he would be one of the fastest 2 guys in the B1G if we got him. The question then is where do you play him.

Like to see him return kicks.

Wingback or z-back or whatever is in the slot.

Let’s get it done and shock the nation..

He reached out to Thompson and his dad and got a response. Not sure why this upsets you.

Because of the addition of Sims, I think CT and the new style of a Rhule offense, QBs running the ball are going to be in the play calls.

It's part of Rhule's offense whereas it was an occasional passing thought in Whipple's offense.

It's time for NU to add the threat of a QB run game pressure on some teams.
We all know what a dangerous weapon that can be.

Let's get it done and reward the fans after 2 decades of failure.

I kind of don’t understand the fear of a QB being a ball carrier. I think I see more guys get hurt in the pocket than outside of it.

because a qb cried at millard north and set a bad president.

2 Decades.. 🤔🙄You’re spoiled 2022-2002.. Last 7 of the past 8 since Riley been hired have been scrutinizing.

You bet your fanny I'm spoiled. I don't get your use of scrutinizing here.

Who's a bad president?

That and sliding.

Take that talk to the open scrolls.

 

[SickOfPractice]

I'm very happy to hear CT is coming back.

What...no Duck-R?

I didn't say it Mr. Card.

Probably so. If Christian Coleman joined the Husker football he’d be the fastest guy in all of college football . But speed alone doesn’t make one a football player and obviously Coleman is a track giant not a football player.

Hornsby is a freak athlete that never learned how to play actual football. He did well in HS just out athleting everyone. He got to Arkansas and thought he’d just out athlete everyone and he couldn’t. Eventually Pittman basically gave up on him. He wasn’t adding size. He wasn’t getting better at throwing. Even his running is limited. He doesn’t take great angles

And I think when Hornsby started to get tossed down the depth chart by guys who weren’t anywhere near him athletically it was a real eye opener for MH. He started to realize time was running out. But I think Nebraska is not right for MH. I think he needs to go to a G5 or FCS school. He needs to learn football. He absolutely shouldn’t see the field in 23 unless it’s special teams. The problem with a kid like that in Lincoln is fans and writers will start ask why he’s not playing if we suck and he NEEDS at least 23 if not 24. And he’s not a QB. At best he’s a WR. and is a year & a half worth carrying him on scholarship for 3 years? I just don’t see it
