WR transfer Neyor is N!

[dinglefritz]

He's not going to out run anybody. I'm just going by his average of 20+ yards per catch back a few years ago when he was playing. We'll see how he looks in the spring. I'm high on what Lloyd accomplished as a true freshmen. They have to get that guy ready this spring to start next fall. I'm also higher on Coleman, who's bigger and faster than Neyor.

Coleman is taller but not bigger. This kid I think looked more physical at WY than Coleman did last fall. IMO he gives us a physical experienced guy who looks to have a large catch radius and good hands. That’s a nice safety net for a freshman QB.

Neyor played eight snaps for the entire season in 2023.

He did? Thought I saw he played one.

Edit: Everything I can find says he played in one game, the first game of the year against Rice. Was he in for 8 plays in that game, maybe?

Some people take longer to recover from surgeries than others (duh) and that can be even more true for a knee issue for a WR (double duh).

After being smacked by a car and 4 surgeries to repair a hip, my 4th took 1.5 yrs to recover when normal time should have been 6mos. I was still on crutches at 6mos. Thought surgery had failed....year later I was 1000%.

I suspect this kid is in similar boat and I predict he'll prove to be a very good addition. His highlights pre injury are there. He is a proven commidity.

This. Broke my leg bad. A year later I thought I would always have pain and a slight limp. Now I don't even think about it. I keep saying the same thing about Fidone. If he stays healthy he will gradually get more comfortable and natural.

I'm sure this is an NIL deal so no real risk. The good thing is he hasn't re-injured it.

Talent is worth the risk.

Hopefully it’s a NIL walk on deal. He’ll get a shot to play and make a little cash above the cost of attendance. We’re probably his best option for several reasons including the QB he’ll be catching passes from. While I’m not doing cartwheels over getting him I DO think he can be a valuable asset.

Not getting my hopes up here with Neyor. Palmer was basically 3rd string behind NFL players and Toure was the best WR in FCS. I’m hearing Michigan is slow playing Banks and if they don’t take him then he’s N. We need a proven producer

The upside for me with Neyor is that I think he’s a big strong guy who can get off press coverage and make those quick out catches for 5–10 yards. Wyoming did that alot with him.

Lloyd - straight up burner.
Coleman - deep and middle of the field
Doss - slot
Neyor - big target at the line to gain
Bullock - will see fewer snaps

 

[Sinomatic]

It will be interesting to see in the future what percentage of transfers who had season ending injuries pan out as play makers team's would have hated to have passed over.

Would be interesting to just look at the big ten numbers in ten years.

I tore my ACL at 18. Now, 44 years later, I'm still waiting to feel like I did at 18. This is the year. I feel it.

I'm not as worried about the WR room as most. 5 more freshman coming in and 3 early-enrollees. Smith looks pretty physically developed and Hall looks decent sized too. I'm sure Barney has been playing against D-1 recruits his whole life in Miami.

Wish that Colorado and Northern Iowa games were flipped.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any of our wideouts were early enrollees last year?

Bottom line is this guy looks like an alpha when healthy and with NIL there is basically zero risk.

And I think last years true freshmen will show some good improvement this coming season.

He clearly wasn't a scrub when Sark added him. But to then virtually disappear for 2 years after the busted knee is what seems concerning. Just find it hard to believe that Sark, given his focus on the passing game as you mentioned, would just overlook the kid if he had much talent. But again, IRIT

Not really. The ACL was in August 2022. It's pretty common for that first year back to be a doozy. It didn't help to be behind two top 50 picks and a former 5 star slot WR with a Senior Bowl invite. It's a gamble but one with a favorable risk reward profile IMO.

 

[RaisingArizona]

We have plenty of deep speed between Coleman and Lloyd. Banks and Neyor add experienced big bodies. Seems like a prudent approach to filling out the room.

I hope he is back to pre injury form by fall.

Knee looks good to me.

 

[cubsker]

Callahan was incredulous when he asked his WR coach who we had for WRs who looked like they could play and he immediately stated that white walk on kid Peterson. 🤣

Don't forget the other white guy on schollie either

It can easily take over a year to fully recover from surgery. But athletes do recover from surgery. I'm assuming that our "professional" staff has determined that this guy is ready to go. Only time will tell if he can cut on that knee during a game.

100% this. Even fully cleared and recovered it takes a while to feel comfortable.

Hopefully better than Fidone.

Emphasis on catch radius. Exactly what they did. Went out and got guys who will fight for 50/50 balls. Dylan will take chances with small windows and we need guys who will make tough catches.

With all due respect, I believe ACL reconstruction has progressed just a tad since the 70s……

I watched Neyor’s off season training video. It was unbelievable. He looks more than ready.

Fidone hasn't come back like anybody thought he'd be and Neyor didn't produce last year because of his injury . So on brand with some of you, dismissing all realities. It's a legit concern sunshine.

Sure it is. Don’t disagree. But his videos showing where he is at look pretty dang good. Leave it to you to see some positivity in a thread and do your absolute best gloom it up Debbie.

 

[huskerfan1414]

Neyor will be a stud.

I think Fidone did pretty good considering our qb play and the fact he came back from 2 major surgeries. His bio says most td's by a Husker TE since 2010.
