What gives with the lovefest for this guy? Why are there so many people with their panties in a bunch on RSS over not offering him?

Yeah I don't get it. I have Blue Balls for him to Cockeye

6'5" 220 lbs. guys who can run a legitimate 4.6 just before their senior year of high school (did it at the same Warren Academy Showcase that Fidone crushed) don't exactly grow on trees in Nebraska. I'd be fine offering him just based on that, numbers be damned.

Then you throw in these extras:

1) He's likely going to Cockeye or, not as bad but still not great, Kansas State should Nebraska not offer. Especially if he goes to Cockeye, these failures to offer have a real history of biting us in the ass.

2) Rollins has impressed exactly no one this year. Fine also with offering him based on frame and potential, but not at the expense of leaving Carnie out.

Let’s face the music boys. If he goes to Cockeye hell smoke us. If he goes to NU he’ll be a bust and transfer in 1 year

He's pretty good from what I've heard, especially in the receiving category. Don't know if he'll be a traditional inline TE, Cockeye may make him into one. But he fits Nebraska's offense better IMO.

I'm guessing he was told he was not getting an offer based on him deciding on 10/12. Which will illicit a tater throwing contest on RSS. But with that said, I might be involved in the throwing of taters. You can't let a kid with that athletic potential leave the state, but they're almost forced to unless that can get Rollins to switch positions.

Nebraska has missed out on local talent bigly in recent years, especially smaller school kids like Ott and Bazata, both obviously became starters and good players at Cockeye.

He is another local guy that has measurables compared to the top TE in the nation. Thats why I like him.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Assuming you've got no problem sending kids packing if they don't work out, you might as well take anything that looks like major conference D1 talent in nebraska, even if it makes numbers tricky

Why not just bring him in as an athlete?

Don't think he projects to any other position really.

 

[Dr.DrakeRamoray]

He’s better than Rollins who never should have been an offer.

Does rollins even like playing football?

Does rollins even like playing football?

Sure doesn't seem like it.

He's going to walk right by me in the parking lot. I'll ask him.

Edit: Sorry he turned and walked the other way. Wasn't going to run him down and look like a psycho.

^^^^^ this all day and every day. Carnie is like a Fidone MKII. Can you imagine having a two TE look with those two guys? Rollins, I’ve not heard glowing reviews and didn’t his coach say he was work-in-progress?

If Carnie goes to IA and becomes another Fantz? Color me a bit pissed.

I’ve said before Carnie could be a good possession receiver, but that hasn’t picked up much traction. Yea, he’s not super fast for WR, but get him to drop a few pounds and put him in our strength program and get him to 4.5....that is fast enough.

Dean and Clouse say an offer is imminent...and they are never wrong.
