How is that possible? Most overhyped 2* in the rich history of 2* Pelini recruits

I'll see your Mason Wald, and raise you Jordan Adams.
Jordan at least had some arm talent before his illnesses. Didn't he have mono followed with a splenectomy. Tough deal. Just remember, we only had Joe Dailey and Mike Stuntz on the roster at QB when Callahan took over very late. He was desperate to find QBs that could throw it over 10 yards and he found some arms. Unfortunately our O line was maybe the worst O line we've had at NU since the early 60s.

Aaryn Bouzos... Obviously never played for the N but man, I remember being so disappointed when he committed. Many on this board defended the staff lol. Those were the days.

http://usatodayhss.com/2017/the-opening-nebraska-commit-radley-hiles-is-a-one-of-a-kind-talent“He is a tremendous athlete but best attribute is he is one of the most competitive kids I’ve ever met,” IMG coach Kevin Wright said via text. “(He) would play every down on both sides if we let him. The other kids do love him. He has that “it factor” and he backs it up with how hard he works and how hard he practices daily.”

Man this is a sobering thread...I had forgotten (almost) about the Pelini (and to a certain extend, Callahan) reaches...a veritable who's-who of washouts...
