2014/2015 Recruiting Thread

Sun Dec 14, 2014 8:30 pm

Sure, lots of things enter into a recruits decision, of course. But usually, if you're an athlete, you want to compete at the highest level possible. It's one variable. But it's an important one. And UW beats NDSU on this variable. Again we should win most of the recruiting battles with NDSU. All? Of course not. As you say different individuals have different criteria. But we should win most of em. Actually, if Bohl turns this program around the way I think he will, I hope we'll be winning our fair share of battles with the Boises, SDSUs, and CSUs of the world as well.

Haney would be a good get, but he has a lot of good offers.

This is why I'm saying he would be a big get....Haney is a victim of waiting too long to commit. He's worthy of offers from Washington, Washington State, Boise, etc, but those offers have dried up because he waited too long (meaning those schools got their CB(s) for this class already). If Wyoming gets him, that's the best recruit this program has nabbed in years. Legitimate stud corner.

I just hope he isn't a stud then transfer player.

Hopefully he can kick it out of the end zone.

Offers from Rice and Cornell. So we know the kid is pretty smart. Which is always a good thing, let's just hope his leg is as good as his IQ is.

Not going to lie, Little surprised we signed him. He is a top 10 kicker in the country according to 24/7 sports. I've seen his youtube videos from the last few years. He has 70+ yard kick offs in Texas and was missing 70 yard field goals by 5-10 yards and he carries a 4.0 GPA so he obviously won't be trouble.

No, Missing 70 yard field goals in high school by 5-10 yards. He had the accuracy just not the distance. There is nothing wrong with coming up short on 70 and hitting everything around 60. He has plenty time in college to strengthen that leg.

His pre kick routine and kick mechanics look weird but he sure has a leg on him. In pads against defense is a whole other situation but based on that vid he looks like a solid signing. Liking what were seeing from ol coach Bohl and his staff

Looks like we need our resident kicker to weigh in...what say you Cornpoke?

I've seen impressive kicking videos before

Numbers could be deceiving but.

Hard to find much on him due to it being a common name.

Allen was on the same weekend visit as Chris Pogi.

Thu Dec 18, 2014 7:26 pm

He's got a decent touch on the long ball. I only watched the first minute of his highlight video and he shortest pass he attempted was like 20 yards. He's got some decent quickness, too.

Cruising joe parker's Twitter and looks like cj Johnson ended up being Nebraska Gatorade player of the year
