Yeah he is a badass.  Shows you how kids can get missed he's from a heavily populated area and was an honor student in high school and had no division 1 offers.  Went the JC route because he had no other options.  Redshirted his first year at JC and after playing one year he's a 4 star kid and one of the top JC players in the country.  I also think he'll end up back at LB for NU instead of safety where he's playing now.  He played LB in JC and that is what KSU was recruiting him to play.  Looks to big to be a safety and I heard he struggled in coverage at Coffeyville and that is why he was redshirted and eventually moved up to LB.  Not sure why NU is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole he might make a decent safety but you know he can be a stud LB.  His speed is exceptional for a LB but only average to a little above for a safety and his extra mass isn't a huge help at safety, anything over about 205 or so is a waste for a safety.

This is a real linebacker.

You could probably say similar things (coverage) about Roy Williams at Oklahoma. I don't know the entire capacity of how they'll use him here because nobody knows what the new defensive schemes will be about. He should be exceptional when Nebraska goes to a 3-4 like they did several times today.

Not a chance in hell. Nebraska didn't even want Chandler-they were so glad to get the two kids split up so they could just get Asante.

They didn't have a chance at Chandler.

Reports from spring practices say that he is extremely aggressive, a big hitter, and possesses great coverage skills.  Hopefully he can learn the playbook well enough to utilize those skills.

The best photographer associated with the Wildcats IMO is David Mays of the Mercury.  FWIW.

I'll take qualifying/effort risk Patterson over Asante, thank you.


Chris Patterson's "new" nickname is "Smoke" by the way.

Pretty sure Gopowercat will not have pictures of that quality.
