Any questions?
I have one. Why was he never offered?
No idea, either it's grades, or he never hit the new coaches radar, or he's really committed to some tiny school and we haven't found out. I'm just checking up on everyone on our recruit list and moving the committed players to their own column ... and Nick still shows up as a non-commit.
Sending out (or just posting on youtube) your senior tape at the end of December really limits your chances, though.

If the 4.55 is real, he should get a look.
Don't you really need a big junior year to get a buzz going? Maybe he didn't feel like he had the stats until the end of his senior year, putting himself behind the 8 ball recruiting-wise.

Not every coach and player understands how to get recruited. Not everybody has a film-major brother-in-law who will edit your tape. Every year, perfectly good players miss out on chances because even though they have the tools to be a player, they don't have the tools to get attention.
How many scholarships are left?
Leach: Do you want to fight a buffalo? I don't know, those buffalo are big. You know, buffalo are significantly bigger than elk. I grew up near Yellowstone so I've been near buffalo. Buffalo are huge. And then the other thing I've always gotten a kick out of: When you play Colorado, there's those buffalo dragging those six handler around. Those handlers aren't dragging the buffalo. The buffalo's dragging him.
Enough for a wide receiver or an outstanding DT, for sure. Embree mentioned that he wanted one more WR at least...
considering we would have taken several of the kids who decided at the last minute, we can assume there were 4-5 open spots.
Could be a really solid prospect, but nothing about the tape really jumps out at me.
I grew up in Reno and if Chris Ault isn't in on him, there may not be anything there.
