Hell yes!!!

 

[jlb321_rivals110621]

Awesome!!! Really wanted this kid

 

[inWV]

Updated rivals ranking is 19.

 

[SWIowahawks_rivals44758]

Good pick up. Atleast it wasn't a position of need for Iowa but they obviously wanted him.

 

[rrthusker]

He is a matchup nightmare.

Welcome Kurt Rafdal, GBR!

Keep the dominoes falling!!

Keep stacking talent and the team has more upside potential. Add in good coaches to develop, which I think the team has, this is going to be a fun next 12-24 months for the team. The foundation is getting stronger

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday. I really believe that once this train gets going, it's gonna be hard to stop.

Seems we had similar reactions when we signed the tight end out of California. I want to say his name is Snyder. Anyone know what the story is on him?

Welcome to Lincoln Kurt, you will look great in Red!

 

[Bremser_rivals74172]

DBs will have to jump to put a helmut in his chest.

This is another great day to be a Husker Fan!!!

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

Wow, and here I was fearing the worst heading into NSD. GBR!!

Why you bringing Trump into this thread?



Kidding...

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

"I really liked talking to (tight ends) coach Tavita Thompson. They see me as a true Y. They showed me some film from their time at Oregon State and said that this is what they saw me doing.

"I also got a chance to talk a lot with the OC, Danny Langsdorf. He said that with Tommy Armstrong being more of a mobile quarterback that they will be moving more to a pro-style offense."​

Yep, definitely going to be a different offense going forwards. Hopefully the TEs are used more frequently in the passing game and even in the red zone.

Maybe Snyder will get a chance to show why we were excited when he signed with us.

 

[CameronKrazie86]

Welcome! Way to go to the staff for landing this kid. Hope they can keep the momentum through signing day by adding some big time pieces.

 

[Foosball is the devil]

Love beatin the neighbors

 

[Crushinator]

I haven't watched tape, but the kid has the measurables! Welcome N!

 

[RChrisReade]

Welcome to the Big Red. May your time in Lincoln be fruitful for all of us

 

[Redscarlet]

This was a serious need after losing 3 TE to Graduation and
Complementing our speed at wide receiver as we move to the kind of offense that fits Riley and this staff..

Welcome aboard Kurt to the sea of Red.

 

[BHeinDaHuskers]

[jteten]

Filled a big hole. Nice!!

 

[GretnaShawn]

With the incoming shorter WRs coming in, I love the tall TEs. Great pickup! Welcome aboard!!!

Don't you know we don't need TE's and WR's. Just lineman and Rb's. Nobody else!!Sick

 

[c3ntral08]

Good get. Hope one of these TEs steps up. Gbr

Are TEs no longer lineman?

 

[TwinsRRUs_rivals79748]

I looked up some stats for OrSU and here are the number of receptions for TEs:
(I went back and forth between a roster page and stats page, so the numbers could be higher if I missed a TE)

2008 - 19 catches & 3TDs (1.46 catches per game)
2009 - 41 & 5 TDs (3.15 cpg)
2010 - 37 & 7 TDs (3.08 cpg)
2011 - 43 & 3 TDs (3.58 cpg)
2012 - 52 & 4 TDs (4 cpg)
2013 - 91 & 11 TDs (7 cpg)
2014 - 67 & 3 TDs (5.58 cpg)

The number of catches by TEs trended up as the years went by with Langs running the O. The TEs better get their hands ready to catch the ball this year!

 

[HBK4life_rivals100467]

Are TEs no longer lineman?

Only if they block all the time. Our offense will be 100 percent run the ball. And our Qb only needs to be able to run. Zero passes. No more punters and fgs either. Fullback traps on 3rd and long!! Qb draws on 4th down!!

Not very twitter savvy,, if one clicks on the "heart" of Radfal's declaration of committing to the Huskers, is that showing appropriate support or does it make me a creepy stalker fan?

 

[GretnaShawn]

Think of Rafdal and Allen as red zone targets. 6'9 and 6'7 is a scary thought for any d-coordinator.

IMO, 'liking' or pushing that heart button is totally acceptable. Retweeting his post is propbably also acceptable. Anything more is crossing that line.

Personally I will not like or retweet directly at a recruits tweet.

But if (for example) Sean Callahan tweets something about a recruit I will like or retweet that.

I personally don't do any retweeting and favoriting a players tweet directly makes me uncomfortable. I usually only favorite the quoted tweet by Callahan (etc) like you said. But I'm fine with fans retweeting players directly. Just don't tweet recruits. It's that easy!

Fantastic! Welcome to Husker nation!
