I agree with somebody else who said that one way or another, Thompson will be a one and done. If he has a decent year he'll turn pro.
QB William Watson is N

Greg Landry played at UMass but was born in New Hampshire. There's plenty of good players on the east coast and this kid's offer list is legit. Plan A kind of guy. Good passer. Strong arm. Winner.
We can finally put the Flores talk to rest and move on. I hope Flores has a great career at Iowa or ISU except when he plays Nebraska.
Dude can flick those long balls effortlessly. Kinda reminds me of Kyler Murray with his skill set.
He was apparently going to retire. Coming to Nebraska is a boost to his retirement. If Frost gets fired, he gets an extra year of pay for his first year of retirement. If things go well, he’ll stay on a few years. It’s a great move either way for Whipple.
I doubt he ends up at either Iowa or ISU. Iowa has a their class QB and ISU is in good shape for Kohl.
Looks like the "Boom, goes the dynomite" guy. Think he was a student announcer at Ball State and they had some technical issues during a BB game. His call is of the game is actually pretty funny and became "viral" back in the day before things were viral.
My very untrained eye thought of Kyler Murray too when I was watching Watson’s tape. Be alright if he turned out similarly.
This is true, but Husker Qback, recruiting is really good compared to many previous years ! Back to Pelini and before!! I like a Qback room with many options to develop and the best will play! Having a head Qback coach to convince recruits to come is worth the money!!
Don't sell the nerd girls short. Since they don't think about buying clothing, doing their nails, hair, makeup, etc. they have a lot more time to think about sex.
Here is an article about him&his Dad when he was a freshmen.
Good get but all teams that want to be great need to have a some 4 stars along the way. One or two 5 stars does not hurt either.
Excited to see what he can do, welcome!! Love seeing that he had offers from Michigan, Tennessee, Pitt and Oregon, gives me great hope that he's a good prospect.
meh. the only offers that move the needle come from Bama and UGA, and even those are less than informative (Nadib Joseph/Marvin Scott were both avg at best).
he'd skyrocket in the ranks if he grew 2+ inches, though.
Given the fact that his school didn't play football at all his sophomore year, I suspect that he'll get re-evaluated by the recruiting services soon. To quote an old movie line though, "Frankly my dear. I don't give a damn". His stat line including passing TDs to INTs is impressive. Whipple's vote is worth a lot to me given the QBs he's coached over the past 20 years.

I'm surprised they even allow high school football at all in Mass.
while Whipple may have coached good quarterbacks in his career, he has never coached one at Nebraska. to quote our state's current motto: It's Not For Everybody
Very nice Hudl film, but what Hudl film isn't? Some of his receivers appear to be running with cement overshoes. What's really interesting is some of the fields he plays on. People with popups set up right past the end line, cars parked in the grass right by the endzone, very few if any spectators. It isn't the Friday Night Lights you see around here.

this is what we want, good year/years from a qb's then reload.
as opposed to bad year/years from a qb and have no back up qb's
I see this very much a case of we hired the guy, he's has a decent track record with QBs, so let him do his work.
The masked defender who went full-on Washington Generals on that play probably caught the eye of Fred and Doc.
I feel like Adrian Martinez would have left that one just short off the front of the rim… so close, just couldn’t finish!
Kidding!…. I think?
Iowa had a pretty decent QB from Boston. Son of a Celtics' coach. Name escapes me.
