and his dad has said in the past he doesn't want his sons to play for UNL... and if he says we missed the boat, that's fine. His HS coach thinks he's a track athlete, not a football player.
and Minter's son also wanted to play and look what happened...
Grammar... The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts.
KSU is able to sign 30+ kids a year it seems with all their JUCO's so they can more easily offer a kid like that before Nebraska can.
They don't get any more scholarships than we do, they do a better job of sending non-performers on down the road. We have one guy, a scholarship OL, who is in his third year and is still on the scout team. We just graduated a scholaship linebacker who accumulated more surgeries in five years than tackles.
That's why Nebraska can't more easily offer a kid like this.

I guess I don't see what Minter's son being a hooligan has to do with us not offering a local kid that three more-successful BCS schools already have.
The more JUCOs you sign the fewer prep players you can bring on board, not more. It places more pressure on being successful with your prep signees, lest you get into a scenario where you need to keep signing more JUCOs to fill the voids in your roster by prep busts.
JUCO players though go through your program faster, only play a couple years before graduating... Programs like KSU, other MSU that rely on JUCO's sign a lot more players on signing day than other schools, even compared to Bama and other SEC West schools. That gives them more scholarships. Regardless, KSU is more able to take a chance on an 'athlete' and hope it turns out well than Nebraska, Michigan, etc.

It doesn't give them more scholarships. They go through more players, but they only get 85 scholarships, just like everybody else. Its a zero-sum game...more JUCOs equals fewer spots for prep players.
Brodrick Thomas also said a bunch of schools were about to offer his kid too..
So Curtis is lying now?
I guess I don't see the problem with asking the kid to come to camp so we can see you up close and you can get to know us better..
I don't have a problem with it either...if I believed we had a staff who was on the ball, which I do not. I trust Oregon's ability to judge a player from 1,000 miles away better than I trust ours to evaluate a kid down the road.
Since 2010 K-State has signed 69 prep players. Over the same span Nebraska has signed 74...and we had a ridiculously small class (17) in 2012 because we never cut anybody.
So despite them signing 102 total players in the span to our 85, we still brought in more high school kids. And there's a good number of them in there that a lot of schools would have sent packing and replaced by now IMO.
