[BHeinDaHuskers]

Immediate WR help. Thats great news.

 

[bigboxes]

Good move by the staff. It's fun to hear the recruiting news once again.

I like it, but can we get a grad transfer RB and a LB? Pleeeeeeease?

 

[Bold Words]

More kids from Hawaii the better!

Kanawai Noa from Cal...

Looks like he played out of the slot most of the time. He made lots of tough catches and clearly isn't afraid to go over the middle of the field. Good pickup but I agree an ILB or RB would be better still.

 

[RedSea_rivals91325]

Good to hear! Better late than never!

 

[tpmcg_rivals137159]

it sounds like a helluva pickup with those stats.

 

[CatColumbia]

Good get! Will help our recruiting in Hawaii.

Guess that means there weren't any LB grad transfers available.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch_rivals294365]

Nice.

Here’s how his last couple season looked stat wise. I love this pick up. Immediate help that’s 6 foot tall and is a proven D1 talent at WR. He averaged 14.4 and 12.3 yards per catch last two seasons. I do agree a LB or two would be nice but I’ll give Frost credit for knowing what he has and what he’s doing. GBR...

 

[Sinomatic]

If he's not afraid to get hit across the middle and has triple ply Charmin hands this will be fantastic despite speed. How fast is he?

Still can take 1 more (two if Green doesn't qualify/sign)

I’m actually not worried about Green not making it. All he had to do was an online math class (or something like that) and then he’s good to go. D Mills on the other hand is a different story. He’s got to get his overall GPA up. Green should be good to go, it’s Mills that’s a huge question mark.

 

[Bigredhunter]

Exciting! An experienced playmaker with sound hands. He will definitely help the WR room!

I'm just talking numbers...we are up against the yearly SIGNING max

I think a grad transfer RB who can contribute is possible, but a Grad Transfer OLB seems like a Unicorn.

I say that because it's a premium position. In all honesty, if Ty Ferguson graduated and decided to transfer, he would be highly sought after on the market.

Dudes like Randy Gregory, who can make an immediate impact, don't become grad transfers.

Right and I like what we have in Caleb Tannor and Domann. With Ferguson, Tannor, Domann and a few of the young guys, I think OLB is fine. ILB is the only true question mark. Barry is locking down the one spot but it’s the other that’s up in the air IF Honas is full speed or C Miller can’t step up.

At RB, Sorry but I’m one of the ones that fully believes Washington isn’t going anywhere. And until I hear he’s kicked off the team, in my mind, RB is fine with the young talent coming in and Washington.

Stay the process and have faith that Mo and Mills will be here sometime this summer or fall camp..

 

[Huzkers25]

Keep loading up Martinez with weapons, smart of this staff... especially with a very unproven wideout bunch besides Spielman

Breaking news on multiple platforms I see hedley.

Here are his highlights from last year, seems pretty clutch in traffic

Thanks for posting. He looks pretty good in those highlights. I guess the main thing is if he can stay healthy.

 

[resdog851_rivals159165]

Dude reminds me a lot of Jordan Westercamp. I will certainly take that.

 

[inWV]

This is a big deal. Proven productivity.

 

[SnohomishRed]

I like the pick up but with Martinez I am not worried about our passing game. With his threat to run and that he throws a very nice catchable ball, we are fine in this area. What we do need is game breakers to emerge and with Wandale coming in we I believe have that guy couple with speilman

 

[inWV]

Looked at the kids stat line. In terms of receiving, he has 12 games of +50 yards/game and 3 +100 yards/game.

Highlight film here -
The kid is not a true burner, but he gets to the right places and is willing to work in the middle of the field where things can get a bit hairy for a WR. I see him as a more talented version of Kade. He is a really nice add to the WR group.
