Nebraska Jr. Day

[Hoosker Du]

It's really cute that you think this a college ready body lmfao. Good thing everybody else knows you're clueless

If that's a photo of him when he was 6'1" 195, then hell yes it's a body that is college ready. Hell, Kenny Bell played at 170-175 and did very well as a freshman.There are multiple receivers that come into college each year that play at a much lighter weight than KJJr. Stanley Morgan came in 10 pounds lighter than that, played in 2015 as a TF and was a Freshman All-American. You're wrong....again.

LOL I hope you realize that weight plays absolutely no role in this situation. KJJ has no upper body strength whatsoever. His upper body looks like mine and I haven't lifted a weight in months. Dude won't be able to get off of press coverage against college DBs and doesn't have the quickness to win battles that way. Kenny Bell and Stanley Morgan are entirely different receivers compared to KJJ. Keep trying though, you'll be right one of these times you'd think!!

GD you are not only misinformed, but incredibly obstinate too. That's a really poor combination...because an arrogant idiot is of the most irritating of people. Even though people know he's full of crap, he continues with his misinformed blather.

He has plenty of weight to play early, and weight does have importance, but it's lower body weight. Being stout in the hips and legs is what is important. You act as if he has to have huge arms to get off the line, when that has much less to do with getting off the line as compared to leg and hip power and quickness. You need good technique to get off the line, and you have to have good quickness and hips to get off the line.

He averaged 14 yards a catch at the highest level of California football, which means he was quick enough to get off the line, and was fast enough to stretch the field. Speed isn't as important as a WR as it is for a RB anyway. But he is plenty quick and speedy enough.

First of all, how do you know how strong he is in the upper-body anyway? That's right, dumbass, you don't. Secondly, he is a year and a half from his first season of football at the college level. And thirdly, he has already said that he is going to enroll early.

Now...try to think before you post. You sure an irritating little twit.

Again Iowa fans at there most dumbest. USC, Clemson and OSU where all committiable offers for KeShawn Johnson Jr. Yes OSU cooled off towards the end because like Clemson they found out KeShawn was committing to either the Huskers or USC. It was a two horse race at the end and he went with the Huskers. And don't even kid yourselfs, there was no way USC was turning away KJJ, the son of a USC legend and was suppose to be a USC legacy. I will give the tards a bone though, Iowa never had a chance with KJJ (or any 4 star WR) so how would they know how his recruiting was going?

 

[kwik44]

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.

Not here to bash UNL or anything like that. It is impressive that they continually sign skill positions at an incredible rate compared to Iowa, but thats really the extent of it. Iowa does what it does and it's to get guys who fit the program, and I'm OK with that. As long as they are competing, which I think a corner has seemed to have been turned.

Eno Benjamin had a good quote in last article in regards to how Iowa develops players. Basically stating if Iowa is doing what they're doing with 2 & 3 star guys, imagine what they could be with a group of bigger prospects.
That's where it's about to head in this '17 class (hopefully, signs looking good).

For those keeping score of the paper sheets, it's 2 - 1 for the next class. Epenesa might even count double (stud DE's are diamonds anymore).

Nebraska fans try to use logic and then all of the logic they use is contradictory LOL. "He's stout in his hips and legs" "How do you know that? That's right dumbass, you don't." You know how stout he is in his hips and legs as well as I know he has no upper body strength. And it's funny that you completely forgot to mention what a WR does on almost half of the plays during a game: blocking. You need upper body strength to block and if you weren't such a blind homer you could tell KJJ doesn't have it. It's pretty comical to bring up high school stats too, I sure hope a college WR could average 14 ypc against high school CBs lmao. Stupid is as stupid does though, no point in arguing with the brick wall you are.

I see you didn't address the fact that you stated KJJ wouldn't contribute until his redshirt sophomore year, a year and a half before he has stepped on campus. You are suggesting that even though you have no idea what he benches, nor do you know his 40 time, "by gosh I know he won't be ready to contribute until 3 years from now."

BTW, it's not a quantum leap to realize that he is playing against some of the best high school talent in the nation. If he can average 14 yards/catch in high school against them, he will be able to get free in college.

You're so GD f'ing dense it's scary to think you are driving on public streets.

 

[iahawkeyes17]

One i love that husker fans are on an Iowa board whining about how biased our fan base is in their opinions of all things Iowa. Pot meet kettle when reading your own board as your posters still think you are a national powerhouse.

Second it's sad how 5 years ago bragging about going to own the big ten to we will dominate only their division to the point the only thing they could brag about was beating Iowa every other year. Now it's down to the point you can only brag about getting in recruits. If my team went 6-7 and got beat at home to a team that had by far a better season last thing I'd be doing was going to that teams board trying to validate how great my team is. But to each his own to the huskers dousches here.

 

[maggs]

I don't pay for this site, but a non-committable offer is still listed as an offer. Try harder bud.

You're right, Don. Now, just watch Nebraska's class fill up with guys like KJJ. But I'm sure they will all be other teams' cast-aways, according to you anyway. Just like every guy that chooses Iowa over Nebraska didn't have a commitable offer from Nebraska. Did I do that right? gbr

Good luck with that ratio of yours on signing day. Mark this down, Nebraska will have its best recruiting class in a decade come February 1, 2017. Maybe KF can keep coaching them up. gbr

Man, that bait was taken and run with much faster than I anticipated.

Yes I'm living rent free in your mind when you're on an IOWA board defending something so petty. LOL you guys are gold

Nebraska can beat out those teams, like they did with Lamar Jackson last year, but KJJ isn't one of those guys.

Alright, you boys settle down back there, or I'm pulling this car over the next chance I see!!!

What is there to address? I said he won't contribute until his third year and that won't change. I look forward to bumping this thread and proving every single thing you said wrong. Your football knowledge is so laughable, I bet you wish Nebraska still run an option offense lmao. WR rarely contribute early in their careers. To suggest KJJ is different is not only foolish, but just proves how much of an idiotic homer you are.

 

[huskersoup]

Keyshawn Johnson Sr. grew 3 1/2 inches AFTER high school. Hmmmm

 

[Hans81]

It will be interesting to follow his development as a college WR.

My cousins son plays for the hawks, most of my family is from Iowa. A couple were small town farm boys who made it to the olympic trials in wrestling. All from the good state of Iowa. We have lots of good natured ribbing. On the other hand, You sir are a misinformed, obsessed, d@$k. Most Iowa fans are pretty fun about it. @spbc7

Lol I'm not misinformed on anything, your little husker friends are just clueless homers. Also, you can spell out "dick", nobody will be offended.

Here's something else that you should consider...since Nebraska always has the higher ranked class of the two schools, Nebraska will always have more commits that weren't offered by Iowa, because Iowa knows they wouldn't be in the recruits top group of schools. Iowa would have some in past classes that Nebraska wouldn't have offered either, because they know they wouldn't have been in the recruit's top schools, but since Iowa always has lower ranked classes, the number of recruits would be fewer. One of these type of players would be KJJr.

 

[Hoosker Du]

Keyshawn Johnson Sr. grew 3 1/2 inches AFTER high school. Hmmmm

Don't tell spbc7 anything. He KNOWS Keyshawn Jr. is a project, that is going to be the exact same size and speed when he finally gets on the field as a redshirt sophomore in the 2019 season.

We need to take it easy on spbc7. He's trying to play without a fully inflated ball.

 

[Hoosker Du]

To suggest KJJ is different is not only foolish, but just proves how much of an idiotic homer you are.

And I look forward to you looking like the moronic buffoon that I already know you are. He may not even end up in Lincoln. There will still be pressure for him to go elsewhere. But after coming in a semester early, he will make a difference on the field in his true freshman season. And when he does, I'll be here to remind you to just leave the football talk to those that know what the hell they are talking about.

Edit-WRs can contribute a helluva lot earlier than DLine and OLine players, because athleticism is still athleticism. Size and strength aren't as important at WR as the OLine and Dline.

Put your money where your mouth is. I'll put $50 on how much he contributes as a true freshman.

 

[Hoosker Du]

I would be more than happy to take your dough. How about this.. Since you said he won't play until his 3rd year (redshirt sophomore year), I'm sure you'll give me a year. Let's make it interesting. If he makes it to Nebraska, I have $500 that says he'll contribute substantially by '18, which is either his redshirt freshman year, or his true sophomore year. Deal? If you agree, since we're on an Iowa board, give me your e-mail mail address, and we'll get this going.

To bad Neb's QB won't be able to get the ball to them with AJ wrapping him up in less than 2 seconds.

But you're so confident he's going to contribute right away, what happened to that? Finally realized how stupid you sound, assuredly. You Nebraska peasants are so easy to process, you just lose the argument on your own.

You're a dope. What happened to your confidence that he wouldn't contribute until his 3rd year? I'm simply suggesting we meet in the middle. I'm confident he will contribute as a true freshman, but instead of getting 14 points, I'm trying to get 21 points.

C'mon, $500 for being a major contributor by his redshirt freshman year. Leave your e-mail address and let's get this going.

How many more times do I have to process you before you realize how dumb you sound? You're too much of a pussy to go with your original word and that's okay, I wouldn't expect anything less from you.

 

[spbc7]

Keyshawn Johnson Sr. grew 3 1/2 inches AFTER high school. Hmmmm

That's great, he could be 3.5 inches taller but that won't make a bit of difference strengthwise. Being taller doesn't make his body anymore college ready, he'll be a 6'4" twig out there. Lmao you guys are a special breed of stupid.

Says the guy that's putting up the $50 vs my $500. OK, you put up $500 and we'll bet him being a contributor his true freshman year. I don't begrudge you for being poor, but at least make this interesting . Put up or shut up, cu*t.

[MIHawk]

LMAO! Lincoln doesn't compare to Iowa City as a college town??? Iowa City is small potatoes vs Lincoln. They are on 2 completely different levels. One is a small town, with a downtown that has a small town feel. And one is 300,000 people, with great music venues and restaurants.

I went to both Iowa and Nebraska, and Iowa City is hands down better and it isn't close. Nebraska has nicer football facilities, but it's pretty close. But there is nothing extraordinary about either of UNL's campuses. The area surrounding the city campus is decent, but not great. Haymarket is cool, but is no Iowa City.

Considered. I just don't think it really matters what the rankings do.

On the field, head to head is proving to be even. I don't suspect it will change in the foreseeable future. Say what you want to that, but it's the truth.

You might find this as a surprise, but I couldn't agree more. It doesn't matter if Riley continues to get better recruiting classes. If we don't win, it's all for naught.

As evidenced by the recruiting analysis that was done last season, Blo Pelini and his staff may have had the best recruiting classes of any of the West schools over the previous 5 years, but the retention of those players sucked. If I remember correctly, of the current 2-deep last year, our average player ranking was behind Northwestern and I believe Illinois.

Another stat was that of all the Power 5 schools, we had more walkons on the 2-deep than any other school. So Blo and his staff sucked at keeping good talent on campus, and Riley and his staff had to play with what they had in the program.

Given the number of close losses (4 losses on the opposing team's last play of the game) we could have just as easily won 9 or 10 games last season. What gives me optimism is that Riley and his staff had us that close...while implementing new offensive and defensive systems, and with the largest number of walkons of any Power 5 school. We were in every game to the end last year, unlike Blo, where he would get blown out an average of 2 or 3 games per year.

That's why Husker fans are optimistic. Especially with the talent that Riley and staff are bringing in.

But there is nothing extraordinary about either of UNL's campuses. The area surrounding the city campus is decent, but not great. Haymarket is cool, but is no Iowa City.

And I know from a music lover's perspective...that Iowa City doesn't come close to comparing to Lincoln in terms of good music venues, the amount of available good live music each week, and the local music scene in general.

I suppose if you want to go to a bar and listen to a cover band or jukebox, Iowa City might have us beat (whoopee for Iowa City!!) Congratulations for being incredibly mediocre on that front. Enjoy your Bud Lite while hearing yet another cover version of some shi**y Miley Cyrus, Adele, or Taylor Swift song. I'll take seeing Dave Alvin at the Zoo Bar or Built to Spill at Vega all day long vs your garbage music scene.

Edit - The truth is...Iowa City doesn't have the population to support as many good live music venues as Lincoln has. Lincoln is nearly 4 times the size of Iowa City. With only a small portion of people liking blues or indie/alternative, these type of venues won't be able to keep their doors open in Iowa City due to lack of support.
