Raiola won’t run nearly as much as TM and AM, so that should greatly reduce his chances of getting injured.
TMart couldn't slide to save his own life. He was blazing fast but didn't have that wiggle to avoid contact. Some guys just have a knack for never taking a direct hit. Some of that is just lateral quickness but I think peripheral vision plays a big role. Unfortunately I think Haarberg lacks that vision and lateral quickness and I suspect Kaelin may as well. Armstrong was a big strong guy who thought he was a RB. He was going to do what he could to win and that meant taking hits. Zac Taylor was amazing. He took some brutal hits, a lot of them and and just kept getting back up.
Could be right. Would have thought he could at least be no contact or be running routes and catching balls on air
i remember josh freeman coming in as a freshman down here. he was ofttimes bad his first few games. but he got better the back half. likewise, N's backloaded schedule will greatly benefit raiola - winning the first seven. cu could be interesting, i suppose. but after that it will get dicey with the freshman out there chucking it around.
C'mon. Who doesn't appreciate talking about the all-time greats at K-State? It's like I live for this.
A better comparison would be Jake Merklinger going to Tennessee. Raiola is more like Matthew Stafford in that class.
As many will remember, Freeman was originally a Husker commit in Callahan's last season. Callahan was assembling a really strong class before he got fired and the class disintegrated. If only he had recognized the need to recruit a D coordinator.
Don't remember Freeman committing to NU, but if he did, that would have happened in 2005 or 06, since Freeman was class of 2006. Callahan was fired in November of 2007. Gabbert was the QB that decommitted the year Callahan was fired.
You're right, I was confusing Gabbert with Freeman in Cally's last recruiting class. But Freeman was definitely was a verbal to Callahan before flipping to KSU.
Correct. I may be wrong on this part, but I vaguely remember some talk about getting Freeman's dad on the staff at Kansas St as a consultant or analyst, that swung the tide over to Kansas State?
freeman's father was executive director of the kansas republican party at the time. he's a good friend.
Could have done without the photo. I don't think anyone really cares what he looks like.freeman's father was executive director of the kansas republican party at the time. he's a good friend.
at least it wasn’t another picture of your lake house - but your humble-brags know no limits.freeman's father was executive director of the kansas republican party at the time. he's a good friend.
