I know for a fact he wasn't a take at OSU, Alabama, or USC. Haven't checked the other schools that guy listed, but I'd assume it's the same. Good player, but it's hilarious that you think you stole him from those teams
Really? You're going to use a (5.6) 3-star as support for your argument?
That's rich.I'll tell you what...you continue setting your sights on taking all the (5.6) 3-stars from us, and we'll continue taking all the Mcquittys from you...and we'll see where both teams end up. Fact is, we are going to win 3 out of every 4 recruiting battles against Iowa. Always have, and always will.
Quit humiliating yourself. I trust the word of someone inside the Husker program more than some blowhard whose writing abilities are a stretch to reach remedial. And what else do you think writers are going to say when they lose a recruit to another school? Did you just recently start following recruiting, because you can't possibly be this dense, can you?
Edit: He was offered as a freshman in high school by Florida State. Was that not a "commitable offer" either? LOL! And for that matter, how often is a 4-star player a fallback plan? You're clueless.

I am guessing more people around the country believe this would be more of a problem in Lincoln then Iowa city. You can say all you want about population but Lincoln is still Hicksville and no one outside of a Husker fan could give a rat's ass about it. People would much less dread a weekend in Iowa city then that dump the Huskers call home. Count on it.
Speaking of "Hicksville," next time give "than" a try as opposed to "then." We know both cities have always ranked high in terms of Best Places to Live, but there is simply more to do in Lincoln than Iowa City.
I like Iowa City pretty well, just because of the abundance of trees, but after traveling there on a monthly basis for work for a couple years, I just found it pretty boring during the week, with a lower quality of venues for music shows. And it was very rare that I saw a quality band during my travels there. Lincoln has at least two venues (probably three at this point), that all have shows most nights of the week, including the Zoo Bar, which is a nationally renowned blues bar.

Additionally, Lincoln has more decent restaurants overall. Not to mention that Omaha is 40 miles away, where The Waiting Room and Slowdown music venues both have music every night, with national acts every week.
Edit: College football stadium rankings should solidify my point. Memorial Stadium is well ahead of Kinnick in every publication I've ever read. But never mind rankings...some yocal from Iowa City says Iowa City is way cool vs Lincoln, so I guess I should take your word for it.

Both Iowa City and Lincoln are very nice places to live but both have real different feels to them. A lot of Lincoln is new in parts of the town and the Haymarket is a fun nice place to visit with good options for local restaurants. Lacks a little in the college campus feel that you get at other schools. Iowa City while not as big has more unique food and restaurant options and has more of a college feel to it.
Raising kids I would pick Lincoln; as a college student I would pick Iowa City.
As far as football facilities- Nebraska are great and I like their stadium. Problem is tailgating is pretty much pathetic. Iowa really upgraded in the practice facility department to keep pace with Neb and others. Kinnick is great in the Wrigley kind of way but lets not kid ourselves into thinking it is something that it is not. Iowa tailgating and overall college FB experience is a smidgen better for fans imo.

See that's the point no Iowa fan can go to Husker board with out getting banned immediately with out drinking the Husker kool aid. As for answers for making Iowa look and sound better what the heck did you expect. You are on an Iowa freaking message board. Are you really surprised their is an Iowa bias here? Newsflash every teams message boards (especially nebraska's) does the same thing.

Wow you win more recruiting battles over Iowa. Great good for you. Iowa hasn't finished in top 25 in recruiting classes since 2005. So no surprise there. Iowa fan base is aware of the model we've used for 18 years under Ferentz of player development so not like anyone losing sleep just because are players don't have enough stars on them when they were 18 yrs old HS seniors. My point is you come over bragging about getting a recruit Iowa wanted (since you can't brag about anything you did on the field last year, i.e. losing to Purdue) but you are naive to think Iowa won't get another player that Nebraska wants and vice versa with the amount of scholarships offered anymore. But I'm sure Nebraska didn't want Colbert anyways, right?
Then again how did Iowa even win last year playing against Nebraska and all those recruits with 4 stars or that high sophisticated ranking you speak of? Cause star rankings of recruits equates to wins on the field right?
These offers were listed as non-committable by those writers weeks ago, it wasn't just something they said yesterday. Jesus christ you are one dense SOB. A low 4 star player that isn't even a 4 star on every site committing in March? Yeah that's a fallback plan for every school you listed. Get a clue dude.

Every single program listed either has a "low" 4 star committed or a 3 star committed at this point. Hell, USC has a commitment from a 5.5 WR out of AL...yet you're going to tell me they are going to turn down a legacy recruit in their backyard if he wanted to be a Trojan? Hell no.
I can't speak for every school...maybe he was a backup plan for some...either way, they offered and were interested. And regardless...Keyshawnnnnnnnnnnnn is a damn fine prospect and a nice win for the Skers assuming he signs the dotted line.
Who cares if they're a legacy recruit?? If they're lower on your board, you're not going to take them just because daddy played there. USC is in on a handful of 5* WR, TOS said a month ago he wouldn't be a take for them at this time. Even a couple of your fellow Nebby posters agreed with that, you should be more like them.

So how do you explain losing to Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, BYU, N'Western and Purdue last year? Miami about only team who has higher star ratings and look how well they've done with them too.
As pointed out...USC added a "low" three star WR already. USC was interested...hell, was still visiting their campus up until a month ago. Try to deflect all you want, even if you want to eliminate all of his other offers it doesn't change the fact he was/is one of the more highly ranked recruits in the country AND a good looking prospect.

You still have to recruit to your system and DEVELOP/retain said recruits. Riley hasn't had the chance to do number 1. Nebraska's previous staff didn't do a good job at retaining their highly rated talent or developing said talent which is why Nebraska ended up with a large amount of walk ons on their two deep last year.
Look at who wins National Titles and Conference titles in the Power 5 and get back to me if really believe stars don't matter. Is that all that matters? No, but it's a huge aspect to winning.
I'm not trying to deflect who he is as a player at all. He's a guy who is going to need a couple of years to develop physically, but the upside is there. Just hilarious that you think you stole KJJ from underneath a bunch of team's noses.
Ok that proves my point to the husker fans here bragging about how they are getting higher star ranked recruits than Iowa. Iowa know for developing recruits. Just find it funny how pathetic it is to go to another teams site who beat you after a crappy season and boast and brag about getting a recruit their team also recruited which is evident by some husker posters in this thread.
I would say you are correct if people are trying to argue you still don't need to develop said recruits. Even five stars need to be developed. Star rankings are really just based on what the "experts" think a paricular prospects ceiling is. With that said...much like Ferentz at Oregon St Mike Riley was known for someone who would find lower ranked players and did a good job developing them into good football players. Obviously, if you can land top ranked guy and do the same that should lead to some good teams.
Just STFU already. You make less and less sense every post of yours I read. A 4-star player with good bloodlines offered by Florida State as a high school freshman is a backup plan? Like I said, you may have just started following recruiting, but every one of those schools would have liked to have his commit when he announced.
Why did you go 1-10 Ferentz's first year? Were they just terrible developers of talent back then? What an indictment of your coaching staff for being terrible developers of talent.
Yes, I'm making a point. I'm assuming their first year at Iowa they didn't have the talent or depth they would have liked. They probably didn't have the people in place in their strength and conditioning program either. They may have very well been trying to put square pegs in round holes. That is exactly what Nebraska has been doing over the last year.
If you were to look at the number of walkons in the 2-deep, Nebraska had the highest number of any Power-5 team last year. That is a very telling stat. It means that Bo Pelini and his staff left the cupboard bare for Riley, and they have spent the last year trying to get players in to improve talent and depth. They have started to restock that talent, but we are still pretty light in numbers at DE, LB, and DB.

I think Iowa won 4 offer head to head this past class. Two for next season in Colbert & Epenesa with more likely to come. May have won more in early 2000's/90's. Today, it's pretty much even. You can say stars this and that, but Iowa has shown that you can find a football player almost anywhere and turn them into a 12 win team.
I've been following recruiting for the last 3 cycles now, but thanks for your input. He's not the same player as when he was a freshman, when that offer came means nothing. It would be good to get an "in" at the time in case he grew to be his dad's size and have his athleticism, but it's clear he hasn't. The timing of the offer has little bearing on current standing on their board. You just don't understand how elite programs run their recruiting if you think he was a take at this time. They go after elite talent and if they miss on the talent later in the cycle, they have a national brand that they can still get a KJJ type recruit at will. But it must be my fault for assuming a fan of the only community college in the B1G could grasp that concept lol.
Prove it, or shut the hell up. Hell, Iowa gets 1 of theses types of recruits every 2-3 years and their fan base has a unity orgasm. Dense describes you quite well. gbr
You're a piece of work. KJJr. is 6'1" 195 as I type this. If he doesn't get playing time as a true freshman, it will only be because WR is probably our deepest position. The kid has been recruited by Ohio State since at least his sophomore year, and he was a backup plan. (Hahaha) Moron!
I've read the updates, dumbass, and all of the stories coming out of Ohio State, and you are patently wrong. I know it's painful to accept on your part, but the updates only started suggesting he was a backup plan AFTER Nebraska became the odds on favorite.
I really couldn't care less about what you think. I know what's right and you're too naive to realize you're wrong. Carry on little fella.
And his dad was 6'4. KJJ doesn't have the body of a college WR yet. Nothing wrong with that, but he's going to need two years in the weight room before he does. TOS has said multiple times that he wasn't a take at OSU, and that's from the national writers, not the OSU writers. Keep dreaming. (Hahaha) Moron!
Donald, is this you? I think it is!! Again, prove it Donald, or stfu. And one article written after the fact doesn't mean squat. gbr
Nebraska won 6 head-to-head recruiting battles in 2016, and Iowa won 3. 67%. And that's after Iowa went 12-2 and we went 6-7. Those percentages will only improve as we continue to win more games.
Once again, an idiot talking out of his ass...
"KJJ doesn't have the body of a college WR yet. Nothing wrong with that, but he's going to need two years in the weight room before he does."
Can you be any more off-base on a topic as that comment makes you look? Seriously, just stop. After moronic comments like that, any credibility you thought you had was shot.
I said earlier that it was multiple articles written over a month ago. I know reading is hard for you folk, so I'll let it slide. Prove to me they were committable Donald. Come on, prove it!! It's a two way street. I'll take the word of people who cover recruiting for a living over a couple of message board scrubs like you.
It's really cute that you think this a college ready body lmfao. Good thing everybody else knows you're clueless
You said there were multiple articles written about it over a month ago. Well I say that I have a foot long schlong. Doesn't make either statement true. Give us the links to these "multiple" articles written over a month ago, or I say you're full of it. Produce or stfu. Donald. gbr
Go to 247, you'll find them on there. I have more important things to do with my time than dig through articles for a peasant like you. You produce the facts that say they were committable or stfu. Donald. Go Hawks.
I went to 247, and there are no such articles you speak of. Big fat liar, Donald. gbr
A Nebraska fan isn't smart enough to find their way around a website, who woulda thunk? Still waiting for you to find an article where they are listed as committable. Walk the walk instead of being an airhead.
So the website that you pay $ to, to be a part of isn't good enough for you. Look under recruit Keyshawn Johnson Jr, and you'll notice listed under offers that the schools in question are all listed. But I guess now Rivals is lying, and you are more reliable. I think you really are the Donald. gbr
Ohhhhkaayyyy
Read what you just wrote, then think of what UNL used to talk about years ago. That's how bad it's gotten.
I don't pay for this site, but a non-committable offer is still listed as an offer. Try harder bud.
You're confusing me with one of those that doesn't acknowledge that Iowa was a very good team last year. I think the fact that we have won 2 out of 3 recruiting battles against an Iowa program that won 12 games, after we won just 6, is a pretty good sign.
