Nebraska get a 2027 QB from Chicago with dubious maturity

Illini gets a 2027 QB from Omaha with better maturity?

Would be VG consolation (if it even is)

Yeah I saw that. I’m assuming he’s very good.

Those numbers just don’t convey speed/explosion

These are his numbers from a recent camp in Ohio. 6-foot-2, 202 pounds, ran 4.42, 4.15 shuttle and broad-jumped 9-5.

Much, much better. Those are the numbers I’d put out for everyone to see. If those times are FAT, I’d make sure everyone knew that too.

Nasir is very important. Please give me a Denzel.

Had my prediction in since last year …

If Hammock is going to lose a kid … He’d much rather lose a kid to Bret than anyone else …

 

[Joel Goodson]

He’s next I hear …

the only thing that concerns me about Marks is his height. but Cox was VG last season, so it's not like a 5' 9" kid can't thrive as a B10 CB. bottom line: if Parker and Henry want him, it's a no-brainer

We should hire some of their recruiting staff. They’ve done a great job of identifying kids early

Not every cb is going to be 6’1. Cox was 5’9 and played like a dog. He also moves very good laterally and is quicker than the big cb. He’s not an ideal match up for a we that’s 6’4 but he will lock down the shifty small wr that’s trying to get the ball in space

When was the last time we had our pick of 4 star QB's??????? How far have we come!?!?!?!?

Big Ten schools ranked academically by U.S. News for 2025

After a full calendar year of athletics, the 18-member Big Ten Conference now has a sense of normality.

Not really sure where to put this

So is his nickname Nasirovic Rankin or Nasir Rankinovic?

 

[Red77sng]

I wonder who the number 1 option is for QB in 2027

Totally agree … Lot of great talent evaluators on that staff … Same with the Toledo staff …

Bingo … I trust Parker to develop these kids …

Height don’t matter as much as people think … Gotta want it … Great example is the one you named … T Cox … Kid wanted it more than anyone he went against … It showed …

That INT @ NEB in the endzone proved it all for me. Held his own against much bigger WR in the bowl game as well.

IIRC, that's not the first QB competition he's won. Very impressive.

100% agree. The way those school evaluation, recruit and develop players is very impressive. Anyone can recruit at Alabama but it takes a lot of skill to do what those schools are doing. Look at the players niu had committed in the last 2 years.
