I agree. Not sure Woodyard or Williams have what it takes but I hope I’m wrong. Williams should’ve been further along by mid season considering he came in in January. If they don’t step up we will have to rely on a lot of freshmen with little to no game experience.Going to make for some entertaining reads over here if he's in the top-2 after fall camp. I wish him well. I also hope that more scholarship WRs than Spielman actually show up this year too, though.
For a walk-on program to be great, you have to reward walk-ons that make it with scholarships. So I would say, yes, Warner will get a scholarship if he's starting or even second team and playing a ton. Otherwise, word gets around and your walk-on program will start to look no different than any other school's walk-on program.I can’t help but wonder what the plans are for Warner next season with Robinson and Nance coming in plus some of the redshirts hopefully contributing more.

Yes. His scholarship would be probably equal to weekend (VERY nice one) spending cash for them. It could be a pride thing. It could be the right thing to do. But IF he isn't officially put on scholarship, the family might just think hey, you can do the program more good by giving it to someone else to make the program better.Would say that Kade has earned one. His dad can probably cover his costs.
I think it should be offered if he’s earned it by his play. And then let him and his family decide whether to accept it.Yes.

Who knows. Agree that it would be the right thing to do for if nothing else the carrot incentive for the walk-on program
For all we know, that is already happened. Based upon web available estimates, the Warner family is worth between 30-50 million dollars.I think it should be offered if he’s earned it by his play. And then let him and his family decide whether to accept it.
IIRC Kurt is a pretty philanthropic guy as well, it wouldn't surprise me if their family wanted a scholarship to go to somebody whose family could really use it.Does having Warner on scholarship impact our numbers? If yes, then I say 'no', do not give him a scholarship. He comes from serious money and does not need the financial support.
Agree. Was going to post something similar and then saw this post.I think it should be offered if he’s earned it by his play. And then let him and his family decide whether to accept it.
Oh absolutely agree.I think it should be offered if he’s earned it by his play. And then let him and his family decide whether to accept it.
That grocery store chain where Kurt Warner worked after college should use this as a recruiting tool for entry-level workers:For all we know, that is already happened. Based upon web available estimates, the Warner family is worth between 30-50 million dollars.
I can’t help but wonder what the plans are for Warner next season with Robinson and Nance coming in plus some of the redshirts hopefully contributing more.
Typically, Nebraska doesn't award scholarships to walk ons as freshman and sophomores, and usually in the fall of their junior, or senior year depending on success.
I don't have the facts on why, except to say it might be injury reason.
Did Warner have that crazy TD or 2 point conversation catch against Iowa? The one where he got destroyed but hung on?
He is likely deserving of a scholarship. He works hard and makes plays and he will definitely be in the rotation next year.

I think most kids want to stand on their own two feet regardless of dads resources. I'm sure it would give Kade great pride to be rewarded with a scholarship for the work he has put it. That's the American way. Otherwise denying a scholarship because the athlete has other resources is nothing other than athletic socialism. Can't imagine Frost denying a qualified recipient a scholarship based on ability to pay would be good for the team. Spencer Long started as a walk on and obtained a scholarship. His family had the ability to pay the price of admission but Spencer was rewarded for his hard work.I'm curious as to whether Dad said to keep him as a walk on as they could afford it, and give the schollie to someone who needed the aid. Just speculation but in hearing what kind or a person he is, it would not surprise me.

He'll play and NU will need him to play. JD, Kade and Mike Williams are the guys that have proven themselves on the field. An additional 3-4 guys will be needed.He'll play. He's a gamer.

Seems name recognition will also go a long for recruiting. Is there anything anyone can say negatively about Kurt Warner?He runs crisp routes and gets out of his breaks quickly. He's a chain mover. A third down "who do we trust" kind of guy. He blocks like an angry man also. He's a good player.
One time on NFL Network, they came back from highlights early and he and another co-host were checking their phones and had guilty looks on their faces like their mother just caught them with their hand in the cookie jar.Seems name recognition will also go a long for recruiting.

Warner is the quintessential possession WR. Not gonna take many if any to the house but he's going to make the catch and be in the right place at the right time. Good role player but he really lacks the speed that Frost wants at his spot.He'll play and NU will need him to play. JD, Kade and Mike Williams are the guys that have proven themselves on the field.

He took one to the house in the spring game last year.Warner is the quintessential possession WR. Not gonna take many if any to the house but he's going to make the catch and be in the right place at the right time. Good role player but he really lacks the speed that Frost wants at his spot.

That's about all I can think of.
Against not only our defense but against our mostly 3rd team defense........walk ons vs walk ons.He took one to the house in the spring game last year.
