Brahmer runs a 4.62 forty as a 15 year old kid who stands 6'6. He jumps 6 inches higher as a 15 year old at 6'6.
Nobody gives a **** about the shot put.

Brahmer runs a 4.62 forty as a 15 year old kid who stands 6'6. He jumps 6 inches higher as a 15 year old at 6'6.
Nobody gives a **** about the shot put.
Brahmer: 40 yard dash: 5.08
Vertical jump: 30.8"
Jurgens: 40 yard dash: 4.98
Vertical jump: 34.5"
And Jurgens weighs about 100 pounds more.
But yeah, Brahmer is "much faster" and jumps 6" higher. Just letting everyone know that Cornicator is sometimes full of it.
You claiming he runs a 5 second forty explains all we need to know about how you're "full of it."
So which is it, 4.62 or 5.08? This is a massive Difference for 40 yards. Either the kid is fast for his age or average to slow.
with all this height they are accumulating the staff must be salivating about dialing up 3 straight goal line fades if they ever have 1st and goal at the one
It was a 5.08 electronic. I wouldn't call it slow for his age by any means, and there is a ton of growth potential. I'm guessing that number will improve significantly with the strength gains he makes before he even gets to Lincoln.
Regardless, it is Still more accurate than coach Cleetus timed 4.62 on the high school gym floor in Pierce.
Same dude who puts the plates on the bar and times the 40’s of the armchair QBs on this site.
Yup. Or his balls hang lower than his dicky do. Lol ..Pees on his own balls
Irregardless is not really a word. It sort of is, but not one that serious people would use. See? My spellcheck even hates it.
Keep your panties on guys, let's see if either pans out. Jury still out on Jurgens needs HUGE improvement in year 3.
Gee, ya don't say?
That is not what the discussion is about at all.
I originally said that Nebraska offered Brahmer way too early. They should have waited at least another year to see how he develops. The way he talks about the Huskers, there is no doubt he would commit a year from now or even later. You should only offer guys as young as him when they are elite, generational athletes, like Cam Jurgens was. Brahmer is promising, but not an elite athlete. Cornicator believes Brahmer is an elite athlete, even moreso than Jurgens, and it is great that we got his verbal commitment.
(if you do not remember how much of a standout Jurgens was his freshman and sophomore years in high school, do not weigh in.)

Yeah, BS. Slow playing local D1 talent has worked out real well for us in the past, huh? Kids will get their feelings hurt and commit somewhere else in a heartbeat. I don't know if this kid can play or not but if Frost likes him then you offer him and let him commit. It's a fact he is/was going to get other good offers so why take the chance of losing him? If he doesn't pan out the way they project it's not like they can't move off him.
I don't think Nebraska can afford to slow play anyone regardless of their probability of attending DONU.
The Huskers are likely to only get 1 of the top 5 players in the state next year, lost out on 2 of the top 5 this year, 3 of the top 5 the year prior, and 3 of the top 5 in 2018. Thankfully, they went 5-5 in 2019, but none of these years include the names of Harrison Phillips, CJ Johnson, and Noah Fant. Point being, it's okay to fast play a kid if you think he's the best player in his grade or likely to be top 5.
Plus, the kid's 6'6" at 16. Even if he outgrows TE, he could develop into an OT or DE, so it's not like he's an Isaiah Harris type who might have D1 ability, but was projected as a 16y/o to graduate high school at 5'7" and 165lbs.

There was nothing particularly athletic about that play. Not saying he isn’t a good athlete/player, but that showed nothing.
When you express concern that we do not have many athletes verbally committed, people respond that it is better to be choosy and not just sign the first guys to come along.
When you express concern that we signed an athlete too early, people respond that we need to get players signed as early as we can.

This thread is crazy. Listen, if a high school kid is a legit 6'6" elite athlete with a 40+ inch vertical, guess which sport he will be playing with a bajillion dollars waiting for him in a few years?
I think it's more likely and very realistic that he is running a 5 second electronic 40 and jumping ~ 30 inches considering he literally just went through puberty. Give him a few years to adjust to his body.

No problem. And how exactly is he “in the mold” of Fidone???? Their bodies look nothing alike.
How in the world are their buddies nothing alike? Tall, skinny, lanky, athletic kids. Fidone has worked hard and filled out a little, but the similarities are very obvious.

I don't really care if his 40 time is 4.65 or 5.0 right now. He's a ridiculous athlete for a 15 year old kid. He'll be one of the top recruits in Nebraska by the time he's a senior. He's from a family of athletes and genetics do matter.
Is this thread argument really happening? Be happy we got a good in state recruit. Leave it at that. Christ. 
Some of you live to argue more than women!!

agree ... a long time between now and signing day ... for all we know the kid might decide he would prefer to play in major bowl games (or any bowl game for that matter) and pull the plug himself
I get your point, but it's not a "one size fits all" topic in my mind. There's a difference between an early offer to a huge Nebraska kid that other D1 schools are talking to, and offering an anonymous 3-star from Florida with mid-major offers. The one thing I think we can (should?) all agree on is that we need to stop missing on in-state D1 talent. What's worse: offering him now and he ends up not contributing, or not offering him and he gets drafted after playing at Iowa State? Not that those are the only two outcomes, but the latter has happened too often.When you express concern that we do not have many athletes verbally committed, people respond that it is better to be choosy and not just sign the first guys to come along.
