Breaking WR Billy Kemp Commits

[Sous Chef]

That’s probably 5.7 yards more than Nebraska’s average over the last several years.

That might be generous

4 returns that weren't fair catches. If you include the 36 fair catches we averaged .9 yards per return.

 

[skersker]

Probably older than our WR coach

 

[HuskerGarrett]

Who’s the bigger winner tonight, us or Georgia? Too close to call

 

[BigRed97]

That edit makes him look aged like…

 

[skersker]

Us. raiola needs some sort of challenge

Ipso facto;

This tweet needs a bit more attention.

This tweet needs a bit more attention.

Both from the same part of the country, wonder if they knew each other prior to visiting together

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I thought we were done with passing the ball?

Who is going to catch option passes?

 

[YankeesJunkie]

Maybe a couple weeks. Snaps are down each year.

Those must be his RB snaps, dude had 74 catches and 725 yards in 2021, but I do believe injuries hampered his 2022.

Palmer was also supposed to revamp our return game. He returned four punts last year. Four.

Ha! It was on rushing. Here's total.

Thank you for the additional numbers, overall a very solid pick up. Maybe Washington can be a #1 WR this year, but Kemp certainly adds competent depth

 

[MtnHusker]

I love the pick up. He was hurt most of last season but still is #4 All Time at Virginia for Total Receptions. And Top 10 All Time for Receiving Yards at Virginia. Quality experienced Power5 receiver.

Georgia was one of our recent bowl victories so we can’t be too far off of them!

Is this good? He seems small for the B1G, but had good numbers previous to this season.

I have never seen Kemp play...i will say though that NU fans often underrate transfers who are productive but don't have amazing measurables.

If you look at the Tater Island takes on Samari Toure... everyone thought he was not good enough for the B1G. Too slow, not dynamic enough, not tall enough, too slight of build, could only do it vs FCS opponents, etc etc. When if you really studied Toure it was pretty obvious that he was gonna be able to play in the B1G.

Now I am in no way saying that Kemp is as good as Toure... my only point is that whenever we get a WR or RB who doesn't have NFL Combine measurables, NU fans are always convinced he'll suck in the B1G. Taters will ALWAYS pick the 6'5'' unproven nutcase WR over the 5'9" steady WR who's already proven he can play.

Tater Island would pick an Manning or Betts or even Oliver Martin over Kemp 10 out of 10 times. Sometimes you're better off with the guy who's already proven he can play and be reliable. Measurables don't = wins. We've got 5 solid years of evidence backing this up. And ironically enough the one guy we've had over the last 5 yrs with the shittiest measurables, Wandale Robinson, we totally misused and he had to go to a different school to get a chance to play his correct role. And now he's in the NFL.

He actual also is different from the measurables Rhule also looks for in recruits - he is not a guy who ever ran track, as far as I can tell.

 

[SoCal_Corn]

He sounds like a good get to me.

I like WRs that have actually played in actual games.
