Yant - I like this kid
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
Would like to see that attitude rub off on some others on the offensive side of the ball.
I like his odds regardless if he trims up or not. He ain't out there to win foot races. He will be in there to murder linebackers and safeties who come up to tackle him in the hole. Imagine the Rutgers game where Dedrick Mills described Rutgers tackling him in the third quarter. I can only hope we see some glimpses of old school Husker football next year.
We need that RB room to be ready to ball out. It’s a weird year where we got some dudes, but no idea what we really have.
I wanna see some salivating anxiety ready to unleash….

I want to see an offensive line create holes.
i hear what youre saying, but weve seen guys (college & nfl) carry a little extra and still be effective.

Just looked at Dan Alexander’s measurements. He was a big fella, 6-0/245 as a Senior. Held wanted Yant at 235, so I presume he's north of that. Yant is listed on the roster at 6-2/225, but I doubt that is up to date.

Alexander was tough as hell as a downhill runner.
And elite top-end speed...
If I recall correctly, Ben Kelly was an All-Big 12 sprinter in track and field.
I liked Alexander, but I remember he’d sometimes start leaning forward like he was anticipating contact that wasn’t there and just fall down in the open field.
He also was all thumbs too..
Would take Dan and Buckhalter in the RB room in a heartbeat.
alexander was of rare size and speed.
all north and south, though.

I like to see a two back set at times, even if we have to use a TE as a fullback.
I guess technically those at service academies aren't on athletic scholarship. And I'm not sure when the Ivy League stopped doing athletic scholarships, but I know they at least don't anymore.
So all of those Army and Navy Heisman winners and possibly the Princeton and Yale winners.
Dan Alexander made that run against his home state school. What a size and speed ratio. A specimen. I think his balance wasn’t the greatest and his hands were suspect, if I remember correctly. The talent in Missouri is consistently good or better. If Missouri could secure their borders, they would have a legitimate 1/3-1/2 of its roster with natives. Plus have a better chance to become a regular top 20 team yearly.
At least he isn't wearing an OAN shirt......that would be offensive.
You've never seen Fast Times at Ridgemont High? If not, watch it as it's a classic.
Don't worry, they'll be shut down and silenced soon. Fight fascism with fascism! Either that or BLM will burn it down.
Juco transfer
Baker Mayfield
In the Ivy league if you're a member of a disadvantaged group, an immigrant or in some cases the first of your family to attend college, you go for free. At least you do at Harvard. It's called social engineering. The rest of us poor schmucks pay 70k/year. It's how Amiker assembled a top 10 basketball recruiting class a few years ago. Make no mistake, we would have loved to have Harvard's basketball roster 2 years ago. Two legit big men who could score in the paint and one of them could shoot 3s. They had a point guard who was being scouted by the NBA when I was at their game and he put up over 40. I think he ended up transferring to the ACC last year since Harvard didn't play. He'll likely get drafted this year. The no athletic scholarship deal for men's sports at Harvard and most of the Ivy's is a mirage. Yale had a helluva basketball team the past couple of years also and they weren't all a bunch of rich white legacies. Those kids only get garbage minutes.
Yep.
If he was on this roster, he'd average 7 yards / carry with that rugged downhill style in the first half of a game, to be followed by 1 carry and 5 swing passes (4 thrown behind him) in the second half while a 160 lb slot receiver gets the bulk of the carries between the tackles.
