Tennessee wants to see North Platte's Genatone?

[wildcat_husker]

Saw the HOL recap of Genatone's private workout, which didn't end with an offer. Then I saw this, and it looks like Tennessee wants to get him on campus, too.

I can get to North Platte in 55 mins and bring a bag full of cash.

Just waiting for Frost to decide he wants to win.

I really think the kid is gonna be a stud.

Frost not offering Nebraska kids just adds to the list of reasons why he will fail here.

Frost not offering Nebraska kids just adds to the list of reasons why he will fail here.

He's only lived here for a year.

"My goal was to get a sub-4.5," said Genatone, who was the Class A state wrestling champ at 195 pounds. He also posted a time of 10.87 seconds in the 100 meters this spring.

He's somewhat new to the Nebraska high school sports scene, with his family having moved to North Platte from Casper, Wyoming, last June due to his dad's job. But people are starting to take notice at the numbers that keep getting attached to his name.

Offers are currently on the table from Southern Miss, Montana and Northern Arizona, but others are showing interest. A busy man this June, Genatone was driving back from Lincoln on Friday, ready to head to Utah State still this weekend.

"Coach Frost was telling me today that they might have me come in as a safety, and then if I put on weight and get bigger they'd move me down to inside linebacker, outside backer," Genatone said.

Sounds like a number issue as to whether we offer him

The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder will now wait to see if Nebraska comes through with his first Power Five scholarship offer. Head coach Scott Frost gave him high marks and said he wanted to offer, but cited uncertainty about numbers as the reason he couldn’t do it right away.
“They’re waiting to hear back from the NCAA because with COVID, they don’t know how many spots they have to hand out,” Genatone said.

Meh. If he was a priority, Frost would offer.

(Not saying he shouldn’t be. I think that was just an excuse.)

We might only have 20 scholarships to offer this year. Maybe less than that. People have mentioned that it could be as low as 14.

Out of spite I hope he ends up at Cockeye and kicks the fuck out of DONU for 4 years.

The kid will be a Husker

The way we have been trending, we should have a few more scholarship players leave before the fall. We should be good numbers wise.

 

[Driveway Jordan]

I don’t see the point in slow-playing him. You know kids will leave via the portal…the scholarships will be there.

I assume an offer will come soon?

If the NCAA rules that super seniors don't count against the limit next year then we could have a class of 25+ which would be phenomenal

I am thinking end of the month

I think the numbers thing is a pretty shitty excuse to not offer the kid. How many other kids have gotten offers over the last few weeks/months? But for him it's a numbers thing? Why not just be honest with him?

Thought the same thing. It’s says you aren’t a priority.

Until they get clarity from the NCAA on how super seniors will count for next year, it seems like it could actually be a legit excuse.

I'm not particularly attached to that explanation, but it wouldn't shock me to see the NCAA giving no clarity in this and fucking over recruits as hard as possible
