Another Bubba Starling Story...Hint: He Ain't Coming to NU
- Thread starter HuskerJack95
- Start date
I was at the NAIA Champions of Character luncheon back in November (I live in KC), and Dayton Moore was the keynote speaker. He specifically mentioned Bubba as one they are very seriously considering a move to the day to day roster later this season. Rumors around town are that he will be in the clubhouse before the All Star break. Bottom line, he will never wear a helmet with an N on it.
Well good for him. Actually despite his natural ability, this hasn't come easy - baseball is very unique in this. We can be assured he is immersed in the culture and has developed a great social network. There would be no draw to things that would attract a college freshman QB to N - well I do believe we have the qb coaching that is second to none ( pretty cool ).

He was never going to come back to NU no matter how his baseball career ended up. The old staff burned that bridge.
Other stories came out as well. Plus he is 100% baseball. It isn't going to happen.
Just another reminder of the amateur hour that was the previous staff.
No worries. Sadly there are probably a few still left here that would think the guy would never do that.
He looked pretty happy when I watched him two weeks ago in Surprise. There's worse ways to make millions than hanging out in the sunshine with Gordo, Salvy et al. His inside-the-park job was the highlight of the trip, and it's already obvious he's a crowd favorite. His approach at the plate looks good and I have high hopes for him especially over the next two seasons. No question after seeing him in person, he's still an athletic freak.

College football probable backup does not outweigh his financial stability. No matter how much some want to make it out to.
Just like the WR, a colossal waste of time and recruiting resources. Neither were ever going to play football. All about leverage.
It is not just leverage. Carl Crawford said he has thought back to what could have been if he had won a NC at Nebraska before baseball. Nebraska does have appeal to a lot of kids whether they go to school here or not.
Starling and Harrison liked Nebraska, but they were never in a million years coming here.
Can't he wear a Husker Cap when they do the intros for the World Series or something? ;-)
