Well, I was told we needed him as a punter due to the one punt he hadWill start out as a LB, probably ILB due to less than stellar 40 time.

Move him to center and put him on the Jurgens planWell, I was told we needed him as a punter due to the one punt he had
I think they are going to continue to offer others, but sounds like Haarberg is a good QB *and* another Nebraskan in the room that wants to play for Nebraska (like Vedral). That's probably the guy that matches what you are saying better. Gdowski anyone?Ok, hear me out on this one. Not saying that a QB with similar skill sets to Sabastion isn't a real good QB prospect but in today's world, with the transfer Portal, would it make sense to take a "high 2*, low/mid 3*" QB and know he has a more likely chance to stick around the entire 4-5 years and provide great depth and maybe even be a good starter down the road? Or do we go after more 4* QB's and accept that it is more than likely that we lose a QB (or 2) to the transfer portal since there would be a logjam of talent at the QB position? Cause right now, our QB room is stacked like it hasn't been in YEARS with great talent.
EDIT: I edited this post after realizing I seemed to be talking specifically talking about Sabastion and actually meant any QB with similar skills/ranking.
Good post. I agree, a Nebraska born and raised QB would, IMO, seem more likely to stick around for the entirety. I remember Gdowski. He had a very special year.I think they are going to continue to offer others, but sounds like Haarberg is a good QB *and* another Nebraskan in the room that wants to play for Nebraska (like Vedral).

We need to be a little careful with that strategy. That's how you end up with guys like Fife and RK3 starting games after 1 QB injury. Granted they were walkons, but roughly the equivalent of a high 2*.Ok, hear me out on this one.

Good points. But we sort of got to the same situation with Gebbia and O’Brien leaving, though I realize Patrick left mostly due to offensive scheme. No matter what, we will, like most teams, lose QB(s) to the Transfer Portal every now and again, IMO.We need to be a little careful with that strategy.

I'm not trying to rip on either one of those guys. Both played because they were the best available option at the time. And most of us will never forget RK3's Hail Mary. The point is just that you ideally don't have QBs of that caliber playing a lot of key snaps.
