Or he will turn back into a pumpkin
Not sure of the time but if they are still trying to determine if his grades are ok the chances are pretty thin by now.
Thats too bad it he doesnt make it to Lincoln. Amazed that kids can’t get their grades in order when they have such incredible opportunity in front of them.
Don’t always put it on the kids, the Nebraska admissions have stubbed their toes a fair amount in the past. Not sure it’s the case now though.
I’m surprised grades would be an issue for Mills. Didn’t he start out at Georgia Tech? That’s not a school where kids with grade issues go.
Losing Mills would be a big blow to this class. Even having him miss spring would be a pretty big loss.
Is the Admissions Office still not on the Unity of Purpose Express?
Maybe they haven't progressed past no fear of failure.
Missing spring wouldn't be ideal but not a huge deal, he is experienced and could probably learn the playbook in the fall. If he doesn't make it at all that is a big blow. We do not have a bruiser back at his level. He was a freshman All American and the best player on GT's team.
If it wasn't a big deal then Bland not being ready to sign in December wouldn't have been a big deal. You want potential starters to get as many reps as they can.
Will Jaylin Bradley be a contributor. We need a between the tackles guy. Mills is supposed to fulfill that role. Not sure if Mo is going to be that kind of back
For a JUCO, I don't think not signing necessarily means he can't enroll for the spring semester. The issue is that IF there was any question about admission or transfer of credits they would be a fool to sign because it screws up their year of eligibility. A JUCO who qualifies can still enroll without signing a LOI. My GUESS is that he's had second thoughts and isn't ready to commit to NU. I think it was Mike Schaefer on 590 yesterday who said that the hang up does not appear to be academic.
That’s unfortunate if he decides not to come to Lincoln..
On all positions this is the one with the least depth with Ronald Thompkins recovering from a torn ACL.
Hopefully Jaylin Bradley makes strides in the spring..
It appears we're after other similar skill set to MIlls high school RBs now. There are still some very good players out there. I'm kind of wondering if the issue that Mills had at Georgia Tech has surfaced again.
The JUCO signing window didn’t change when the early signing period was introduced. The juco window goes through mid January.
I tend to agree with this. You really want the guy here right away though because so much can happen between now and next September.
I agree it sucks. But the role he will play I think we will be ok until he learns the system by conference play.
He won't get the majority of the touches anyway. With Washington and Adrian in the backfield.
Plus we still have homegrown Wyatt Mazour lurking around, waiting for his chance.
Yes, that's right, Mazour, our rb that will be drafted by the Patriots!
Totally! I keep hearing how he’s got legit 4.28 speed and can leap tall buildings in a single bound! All of these coaches need to get their act together and let DW 2.0 tote the rock all the way to NY!
Only if they have the first pick in the draft
Guys, let’s be real here. I like Mills, but he’s expendable.
We have Mo.
We have Wyatt - whom I really like.
We have RJ.
We have RT.
We have JB.
We have a hybrid in MJ.
We have a hybrid stud in WR.
This isn’t a position of need.
Get a LB or a CB.
For the most part I agree. We don't need to have a bruiser type at running back. It would be nice to have one in certain situations, but in no way is it an absolute necessity like some people are making it out to be.
Wyatt is the guy who will likely get bruiser roll carries. Dude is 5’9” and about 205. Can’t see him, runs low, and is fearless. I’ll take it!
And I wouldn’t be surprised to see JB come back at 220-225 this year to fight for that roll if DM ends up not signing.
I don’t see anyone on this list for 3rd and short plays, goal line plays or run out the clock drives at the end of games. Guess those plays are not important. They only dictate entire games. Do people really think Wyatt is the guy for this? We won’t win jack if he is our guy.
This offense doesn’t require that guy. It’s not 1995 and we don’t do FB’s anymore. And don’t forget there is a guy named Adrian who I’ll take on 3rd and short. Gonna have to get accustomed to fly sweeps, shotgun QB draws, and even WR screens on 3rd and short man!
Partly. To be honest.
I do look at the NFL and think there’s no need for the bruiser anymore when you have a multi-dimensional attack and a QB like 2AM.
Bottom line - I trust Frost.
Id like to go back and see how many of these people that talk about Mazour not amounting to anything and see if they said the same thing about Ozigbo. I bet many many of them did.
40 4.28
Vert. 42 inches
Bench 425
Fearlessness: check
5’ 9” bruiser: check
He’s going to be a senior this year?
