I kind of get miffed by the people who are pegging him as a Tight End. He was dominant this Fall as a legit WR and that award is absolutely deserved. He was the most productive Skill Player in the State of Missouri, and in the biggest class.
You could always watch film of all of them and decide for yourself, but it appears that MaxPreps thinks he’s better as they have tabbed him the Player of the Year in Missouri.
Edit: Unless I have misunderstood and Player of the Year means something else.
This is a legit question.
On3 has the #1 player in the country as a DE from another KC suburb.
Monster year for KC.
He is a tweener, but as I said earlier this year Nebraska needs to capitalize on these type of players for our offense. Fidone and Smith are great receiving tight ends. Nelson will be a threat as well, and I'd guess has more room for weight gain.
Satt needs to watch some Chiefs film and watch how Andy utilizes Kelce. Split him out a few yards from the OT, sometimes in the backfield, use them in motion.

Yea, Satt has never watched a single game or even film so he needs to know that stuff.
We need receivers, wide and tight, who can read a D and decide if they are in man or zone, where is the safety help, where did the backer blitz come from, if I see this D what route options do I have and what did the QB call for protection and routs in his protection cadence?

We could watch film, but like 99% of us here, we really have no idea what we're looking at to determine which WR is actually best.
Smith looks like a great addition for the Huskers. I know WR Ryan Wingo missed 4 games in a row with a knee injury, so that eliminated him from any POTY talk.
Sadly the statement holds true for a majority of coaches too. Lots of people think that a “title” must mean someone is an expert. Sometimes they are and sometimes they were give. Such title based on who they know more than what they know.
We were told that Evan Cooper and EJ Barthel were elite talent finders.
Cooper proved it this year. 5 DBs over 4 states. Verdict still out on EJ
Mr. Smith is my favorite recruit in this class. He will find the field next year! STEAL of this years class!!!

It's really not that hard to see. Most of the time, it doesn't take more than 30 seconds to figure out the caliber of player someone is. I didn't watch this guy but I did watch our 5.5 3 star receiver, and yes, he was appropriately rated.
Clark camped and they gave him an offer. I already pointed out Lloyd had such crappy offers he was just going to run track before Rhule came.
They whiffed on Sims but they had a tremendous first year of evaluating and developing freshman.
But here comes your excuse that Lloyd ran track, while you overlook the fact that recruiting services and other coaches knew that before hand.
Stop twisting the argument. I'll be the first to say you take a flyer on track speed even if the film doesn't look impressive. I'll come out and say it, Clark sucks and will never see the field. He's appropriately rated and I have no idea why we offered him. Lloyd on the other hand deserved a scholarship offer.
Nobody gives a enough of a **** about oldjar’s talent evaluation to pay him the big bucks, but we should definitely listen to what he has to say. 
Clark supposedly ran a 4.42 at camp. He’s long and athletic. I’ll trust Rhule’s opinion over yours. I played against multiple guys in high school who didn’t wow me that went on to start multiple years for Tom at NU. It’s not about what they are as a high schooler. It’s about what they can become.
Edit: Rhule just said he ran the 40 for them at camp in his presser. He didn’t specify his time. They offered him though after they watched him in drills and running the 40. I must of heard his time on the radio this morning

To be fair, you are terrible at evaluating talent and on top of that you ***** and moan about every recruit.
He literally bitched in one thread about mid 3 star recruits then in another said he isn't satisfied landing the top QB in the nation. He is someone to not take seriously. His post are comical at best at this point.
Clark is 6'5". can't coach that.
back to Smith - here's hoping his impact rivals that of another legendary Husker's son: Shavon Shields

If Clark runs a legit 4.42 that I've seen on here with that frame..... To much potential to pass up being a legacy
I've seen that number from one poster who is widely known for fabricating such things.
that said, I don't care what he runs today. it's what he runs when he's ready that matters.
I’ll have to go back and listen to all of the coverage this morning. I thought Rhule said it but it might have been someone else.
In the last decade on this board I have never fabricated anything. I’ve had my leg pulled a few times and repeated that misinformation but I’ve never knowingly fabricated anything on here.
I can’t rewatch Rhule’s presser right now. I may be mistaken on who he was talking about running the 4.42 at camp.
Edit. Rhule didn’t give his 40 time but they offered after he ran the 40 for them and did drills. The 4.42 time I must have heard on the radio this morning. Guys that tall can be deceptive.
