'25 NC OT David Sanders (Tennessee commit)

[Boston Vol]

I think the Nebraska/steroid angle is a bit overblown. Yes, it certainly impacted their program, but it’s not like the NCAA hadn't been testing for steroids before 1998. Additionally, Nebraska was ahead of the curve on the use of creatine. What really hurt them was the B12 nixing Prop 48/partial qualifiers, which Nebraska had feasted on heavily during the 80s and 90s.

In addition, limiting roster size also had a negative impact. Nebraska’s famous walk-on program gave them a significant advantage over most schools. They often had rosters consisting of close to 150 players, many of whom were good enough to be scholarship players. However, due to Nebraska's low in-state tuition rates or out-of-state recruits being awarded “academic scholarships,” they were able to circumvent scholarship limits.

Can you elaborate? Idk what this means

In fairness, I probably didn’t it word it the best. Prop 48 was instituted in the mid-80s. It required student-athletes to meet a certain threshold to participate in college sports. However, there were some exceptions, and the Big Eight didn’t have any rules on those exceptions. So, Nebraska was able to bring in recruits who would never be eligible at most other programs. When the B12 started in 1996, they basically eliminated those exceptions, which greatly impacted Nebraska’s recruiting.

Certainly not breaking news he has not committed but the word from on campus was that him and his family were blown away by this trip to Lincoln. The welcome from the fans was nice but was even bigger for them and what will play a massive factor if we actually land him is our strength and conditioning program. Rhule and Campbell had a great plan laid out for how they will develop his body and how it would help him as a player. Sanders has intentionally stayed lean so that when he gets to college he can pounds on the proper and healthy way. Nebraska I'm told has also ponied up a good amount of NIL funds for Sanders and that they have met his needs from that standpoint. I don't know how the strength and conditioning is at Tennessee but let's hope it's not very good. GBR!

In case anyone doesn't remember. He is not a "realist" about the Vols. He is a Nebraska fan.

"Why did you commit to X school?"

"Well, it was really the S&C program that stood out and set them apart from all the other top notch programs in the country. X school has really got a leg up in S&C and that is why I committed here."

Said nobody ever.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

One of the most delusional statements I’ve ever read. Lmao

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

It’s been almost a decade since Nebraska made a bowl game. They are a complete joke.

 

[jpope9]

David what made you choose Nebraska?

“Well they don’t have anyone curling in the squat rack and that was huge for me”

All valid, but the last National Championship game featured two BIG10 teams.

A realist would recognize one of those teams was not in their conference yet and the Big 10 receives zero credit for Washington’s success. Also keep in mind that the Washington coach relocated to the best conference in college football

Yeah, how IS the strength and conditioning program at the school that has its lineman run more than basically any team in the country?

Who can say.

 

[Ericvol2096]

Still going on.

Yep, hoping for very positive vibes later this evening.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

The Big 10 isn’t even comparable to the SEC.

We’re getting tired of beating up on them every year in a bowl game.

I believe they are up there. More in there than people will give then credit.

That said,

Thanks! Wasn’t sure if he had left yet.

Billy is going to South Carolina next. Beamer is about to take another steamer.

Beamer Steamer-when you know your team is gonna suck so bad you celebrate blocking opponents x point kicks.

I am glad he was able to make it to Knoxville. I was told there was a tornado at the Lincoln Greyhound bus station.

I’d say really well

And here you come with your long winded well thought out arguments with logic and reason. Steroids rolls off the tongue easier.
