Coleman? Why? He's a true sophomore from Lincoln East who didn't produce a ton, but he produced last year. I don't know if I've ever seen a NU receiver consistently get mugged so blatantly. Some teams clearly struggled with his size/speed combo.
That’s what some dimwits would have you believe. Rhule is smart enough to make a fair and unbiased evaluation of talent IMO. I’m sure he didn’t see Raiola as a finished product, but as someone who had the right intangibles and could be polished.
Theres a patterned history, even in high school, of not actually playing football.
Top 2 in class c discus at state are also going to nebraska as walk ons. Whens the last time that happened?
I hope the kid is great, but high-jumping 6’6 when you are 6’5 isn’t putting anyone in the “genetic freak” category yet.
True, but I’m 5’8”, and I ain’t even high jumping 5 feet… there is some skill and coordination involved that I, and maybe many others, don’t possess.
All I care about is a 6'5 WR who can jump like that is going to be a problem for all DB's.
I tend to agree. There are Nebraska kids from Boone Central, Hastings, Norris, Hastings St Cecilia and David City Aquinas who have jumped 6'8"
So I tried to look up the 2024 State track and field results but apparently it's the hardest thing in history to Google. If someone can post them it would be much appreciated.
I did find state records. That jump would put him just shy of a Class D state record and just shy of Class C 2nd place. Really puts Carter Nelson in perspective though, with his jump of 7'.
Either way Rhule is recruiting exactly how he said he would. Athletes, and athletes who compete in track in and field. Amazingly all these track athletes are good sized. I have a feeling we are going to start to become a more attractive place for NFL scouts very soon.
Thanks. Looks like Clark would have tied for best at state amongst all classes. Not sure why people would downplay that.
Hope all these recruits play well for the Huskers. I was back in Mecca last weekend to see old friends. Drove up to Lincoln for the day to see and ride bikes with my best friend. Great weather and great time. Back in the old town I was mildly surprised to everyone's expectations for the football team this year. I thought they would be much more optimistic, but I would say most people I talked to were just cautiously optimistic at best to the Huskers chances of having success. I thought they were somewhat restrained. Too many years of poor play are affecting even die-hard Husker fans. Matt needs to get this team winning games. I will be back September 7.
Raiola recruiting winners on the O line!!
He has some explaining to do when he gets back on campus…
