High 3 star WR William Nixon Will Announce Monday 8 July; Huskers Appear To Be School To Beat
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
Is that Zulu or Z+5 or Z+6?
Agreed. I get the sense that Watts is solid to ND. I would be very (pleasantly) surprised if he de-commits. I doubt he will even take an OV to Nebraska, but time will tell.
Watts v Nixon: (sounds like a good supreme court case)
TL : DR Both look good and having them both sign would be better. Exact position projection and roster management might influence me if was making a head to head choice.
Nixon: Coaches kid. Waco Tx. 5'11 185 .8738 composite 4.52 40 time
Jr. Season stats: 25 carries for 400 yards 5 TDs. 40 catches for 500yrds
Watts: Omaha 6'1" 185 .8777 composite 4.49s 40 time
Jr. Season stats: 1093 yrds 15 tds. 58 tackles and 5 INT
Hudl: Nixon
Hudl: Watts
Disclaimer: I rarely watch highlights as I don't claim to be a talent evaluator.
I can't tell them apart as far as projection to the next level.
Watts: Pros - Better size. Closer to home. Blocked at least a couple of times. Played D, though didn't look to bring the wood in the few D highlights.
Cons: Highlights consisted of essentially all big plays. My guess, lesser competition and maybe a less talented QB for the comparison.
Nixon:
Pros: Assumed better competition. Played RB in some highlights, Received more contact, will go over middle, not afraid to get hit. Less big plays and showed better technically at WR position (more varied routes IMO)
Cons: Smaller. Did get caught from behind 1 or twice, which isn't a big deal, given longer run and again, my assumption of better competition.
Distance is often a factor and with the Nixon's dad being a coach and the kid is used to traveling then the idea of him deciding to go to Lincoln doesn't bother me at all and think will stick with commitment once made. From a roster management perspective, I like Watts do to his size as I don't think we have any trouble recruiting and already have a glut of slot type guys.
So, @N2FL and others.... I've started the Pros/cons list.

If we get an OV for the Ohio State game then I think it game on.
I wouldn't fault Watts to ov during OSU game. It will be fun atmosphere even if he doesnt plan on signing here
I’m not even sure if that is Central or Mountain time.

Zulu means Grewich Mean Time. est is Z+5, cst is Z+6, mst is Z+7I’m not even sure if that is Central or Mountain time.
Heck yes, man. Wonder if I could take my OV then?

runs clean routes, catches in traffic, takes hits hangs on, runs to hole, uses his blocks, good vision. as he gets bigger, stronger just see a good football player that will make plays for us.
