Besides, if any of these kids turns out to be any good Hawk will just poach them anyway. Hawk likes to keep a coulpe scholarships in his back pocket to see how the Nebraska commits play as seniors and then snatch a couple of the best away.

Anyways, I like this kid. He definitely doesn't seem to be in a hurry to commit, which makes a lot of sense considering he could get a lot more offers with a good senior season. His size alone will get him noticed (once he puts on more pounds, yikes!).

I just hope he remembers which school treated his dad right AND was the first major school to give him an offer...

Btw, RINGO what is the word on the camps that are going on right now? CU got a handful of recruits from this camp same time last year. Mahnke I think... Lets hope we get a few more this year!

Fictonal account, though Kyle can save it just in case he needs the material:

"....In an unusual turn of events, regular Buffzone poster and resident negative personality tallisall was taken to Folsom field and forced to endure what is favorite quarterbacks, NU's Joe Ganz and OU's Sam Bradford, cant handle - the blitz. Several ardent CU fans repeatedly pummeled tallisall into the Folsom turf with repeated blind-side hits. Though police eventually found the badly bruised and concussed tallisall,wearing a Hawkins jersey and sucking his thumb in a fetal position at mid-field, no witnesses have come forward to identify the perpetrators. Tall himself was unable to identify the culprits, but reportedly the incident had knocked some sense into him. From the wheelchair which he will spend the next several weeks recovering from broken legs, he commented that "Cody looks much taller than I thought."

In an unrelated development, Coach Dan Hawkins announced today several new pass rushing DE commitments who made unofficial visits to campus in the last few days."

He hasnt yet - get over it. Just cause a guy is tall doesnt mean he can play QB.

Posted by baBUFF on June 19, 2008 at 2:30 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Ballenger is a year behind and has to beat out a returning starter. He will get a shot, but that does not mean he deserves 1/2 the practice reps out of the gate. If he lights the world on fire in practice this fall, the reps will come, but Cody has EARNED the starters job with his play on the field and someone else has to give coach a compelling reason to replace him.

Being 6-5 doesn't entitle you to a job, you need to earn it. And you will see more downfield plays this year no matter who the QB is for several reasons: The line will be better and give the QB more time. Talent, speed, and (get excited) HEIGHT at WR will be improved giving the QB more targets. And with a studly group of RBs, defenses will have to respect the run and play up opening the field for homerun shots.

Bradford had all of these advangtages LAST year and still couldn't find a way to beat the lowly Buffs. At least he can pads those stats against UT-Chattanooga this year.

Disagree with what? I never said Bradford wasn't good, he just wasn't as good as Cody when they played head to head. You praise Bradford and rip Cody, but the only time they were on the field together Bradford was outplayed by a tiny, slow, terrible QB who is only playing because his daddy is the coach.

Tall,

One often uses comparisons with common opponents, when two teams have not met, CU played and beat Nebraska and Oklahoma last year.

Hawkins had numerous interceptions in the first half of the season and few, if any, past the seventh game. He does not have the physical stature of many BCS quarterbacks, but is accurate and smart. He improved as the season progressed and I expect will improve as he matures and gains experience.

If CU's offensive line produces as expected and we can pick up a few defensive players, CU can and will compete for the Big 12 and National titles in a couple of years, with Hawkins at quarterback.

Also, when writing of Pelini's previous stint at NU, please list for us the teams the Huskers beat that year, and the scores of the games they lost. That will make for an interesting analysis. He may prove to be a great coach, he may not. Pelini will have great resources to work with at NU, but he will also have to produce great results. Coach Hawkins will have to do more with less at CU, I think he will.
If not I'll go to a Bronco game or skiing. I hope you enjoy women's volleyball.

"Like watching a train wreck" - not a bad comparison. I don't have a problem w/ Tall, he actually amuses me. I picture Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh typing away every so often on his PC.

The reason why Cody is starting is because of his leadership - alot like Koy Detmer or Joel Klatt in his field-Generalness. Ballenger is (I agree) more physically gifted, but that doesn't make him the better option at QB. Think Brian White, Jeremy Weisinger, Adam Bledsoe.. now I think Ballenger has a bigger upside than those prior prototypical QB-flops, but if he doesn't have the leadership qualities (especially important w/ a young team), the mental toughness to hang in the pocket (or the quick feet), or the guts/moxy to pull out a tough game, then he should not be the starter. I hope he does get some early-in-the-season mop-up snaps (perhaps Eastern Washington) to see what he's got.

Posted by salsajohn on June 19, 2008 at 4:47 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Don't let tallisall fool you. The Husker faithful are already voicing their concerns about their, thus-far, weak 2009 recruiting effort. Many of NU's top targets (especially at QB and RB) have already given verbals to other schools.

Most new coaches at big programs reel in huge classes in their 1st full of year of recruiting. But Bo P has fallen well behind UT, USC, OU, UGA, etc, which tells many of the Husker fans that their beloved NU is no longer a big-time program in the minds of 4 and 5 star recruits. There was an article on ESPN.com just last week highlighting this concern in Huskerland. The ESPN author said NU will never be able to recruit like they did in the 80's and 90's because the talent base in Nebraska is so thin, many other programs offer the same amenities, more TV coverage, better locations/access to media hubs (i.e. USC, Miami, FU, LSU, Texas, etc).

Now Talli, the author didn't say Nebraska was going to disappear, but he did state that the Huskers would never be able to recruit successfully against many of the top programs. I guess you are going to have to see how well NU fares with 3 star recruits. KU did well last year. Can they sustain it is another question?

I'm not saying CU is anywhere near ready to compete with the Big Dogs of college football, but NU has become an after though in college football and the minds of top high school recruits.

So enjoy another 6-6 season there in Huskerland Talli. And get used to it.

Buffnut99 did touch on a point that I noticed last year.
First of all, Cody is still the starter based on overall performance.
There were a couple of times last year when Nelson or Ballenger could have mopped up without a whole lot of risk and it didnt happen. If one of these guys has to step in because of an injury to Cody, it would help to have as much PT under their belt as possible.
I expect better things out of the Buffs this year and hopefully more opportunities for the same.

But NU has played 4 (McNeese St 02, W.Illinois 04, Maine 05, Nicholls St 06) and has I-AA S.Dakota St on the schedule for 2010. THAT 4 I-AA TEAMS IN 5 YEARS!! What a hypocrite!!

If not a NU fan then who is your team? What wagon are you riding? Or are you the type to not state an allegiance for fear of receiving the same smack that you're trying to dish out.

I spoke to a 15 year old QB this week who was recently at CU for a football camp. He said Cody was around quite a bit and being a 15 year old kid he was comparing himself pretty closely to the Big 12 QB.

His observations:
1. He said he's 5'11" and he's certain that Cody is two (maybe three) inches shorter than he is.

2. He's sure that his arm is "much stronger" than Cody's. He said that with any pass over 30 yards Cody has to "hang it." Although he did say Cody is pretty accurate on short passes.

3. He was very critical of Cody's throwing motion. He said Cody "overthrows" anything downfield in an effort to make up for his lack of arm strength.

4. He said Cody is "very slowfooted." In fact, "slower than most of the O-line."

His conclusion: Cody is too short to even see his receivers; if he does happen to see a receiver he doesn't have the arm to get the ball to him; and if all else fails Cody can't scramble because he's too slow to outrun anyone.

In general, he was completely amazed that someone with so little athletic ability could be playing QB at a BCS school!

He said he wishes his father were the coach at a college!

Cody Hawkins is a very poor athlete who only plays because his father wants him to. Many deserving athletes have been left in Cody's wake. It's sad story of nepotism and self-promotion but more and more people are starting to understand it (no matter how hard you and the other homers try to suppress it).

you sound like one of those left in the wake.

Why dont you reappear as tall and start talking to yourself again. thats the only way you will get another person here to agree with you

I couldn't care less if you agree: there are many other people that don't think about things like nepotism until they read it here. I'm simply helping those people understand these very real issues; what you think doesn't matter at all; you're beyond rationale thought; you just want Hawk to notice you and pat you on your head.

what a noble guy! "just helping people to understand" and for nothing more than the goodness of your heart!

round of applause please
'specially from those people who dont understand nepotism....or football.

hmmmm wait a minute! "rationale thought"? where have I heard that before. Not from rswright. He actually knows better than to use 2 nouns together when one was supposed to an adjective.

this all smacks of a Nebraska education......as does the part about nepotism. No need for the word there because the entire state is inbred anyway.

One question we dont have to ask
is
whosyourclown?

Extrapointyhead - Tell us again the story about how you used to follow football players around campus, hoping against hope, that you would be accepted as the team mascot.

Here you are 40 years later still hoping...

Cody Hawkins sucks and Dan Hawkins doesn't know who you are and doesn't care how often you try to defend him and his midget son.
