ShowMeSports: Rockhurst QB Gives an Update

With the 2008 recruiting season winding down, it`s time to start seriously focusing on the 2009 class. Rockhurst QB Nathan Scheelhaase had led the way with early offers from schools, so I thought i`d check in with him for the latest going on in his recruitment.
"Things are going well, I'm getting pretty busy with this recruiting stuff.
Schools that have come to see me so far are Boston College, Wisconson, Missouri (Coach Pinkel), K state (Coach Prince), Oklahoma, and South Florida has sent me a couple letters to give them a call. Illinois is definatly an interesting team with their style of offense, it fits well with what i can do. Ronnie (Wingo) put me in touch with Coach Mitchell at Illinois. but have not been able to get in touch with him yet."said Scheelhaase.......

Film.

Big, athletic kid...plays in an option-based attack (at least from what I can gather from the clips). Seems to have a decent arm, strength-wise. Not a lot of clips to evaluate his throwing ability but the ahtelicism is evident and shows good touch on a couple of throws. Not hard to see why he already has offers from Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Stanford.

“Nebraska’s spring game was a good time.” said Scheelhaase, “I hung out with Will Compton. I met him last year when we went to the USC game. I kept in touch with him ever since. Nebraska’s facilities are the best, they improve about every year.”

“Nebraska coaches say I know the offense well and developed my skills. They (Nebraska coaches) said they would like to see me in red and white. Coach Watson sends me lots of letters.” he said

“I will probably make it to Lincoln June 9th for a day and see what is going on.”

“Missouri Junior Day’s was a good time. It’s a local school. I know a lot of players from my school that play at Missouri.” said Scheelhaase

“Missouri coaches said they want to keep all the instate players and branch out from there, become more of a national team. All the Missouri coaches been together for 7 or 8 years, they seem to click together.”

“Oklahoma is one of the best programs year end year out.” he said, “My dad played football with Coach Stoops at Iowa. I’ve been down to Oklahoma to see games in the past.”

“Oklahoma coaches said I can play at the next level. Coach Heupel (QB coach) was on the National Championship team. Coach Heupel is coming up to Rockhurst this Friday.” said Scheelhaase

“Colorado just offered me, they are a coming program.” he said, “They signed the number one running back last year. In a couple years they will contend for the Big 12 North.”

“I like Houston Nutt (Mississippi), they were my second offer. I feel good with their program. Ole Miss runs the spread offense the play fits my style.”

“I check the internet to see what schools are recruiting quarterbacks. It’s important who they are after, who they sign. I do have the mentality to beat out who ever I do compete against. I will probably narrow my list down once I visit all the school this summer, I would like to make a decision by fall.”
