Was Danny Woodhead on any large radars coming out of high school? From what I know of Woodhead's story, he's an undersized player who was cutting his teeth out in Western Nebraska (North Platte), where, though High School football forms many a town identities, the population is too sparse to contribute much talent to the FBS levels of competition. For those not in the know, Western Nebraska is immensely uninhabited with its few northwestern towns large enough for a McDonald's (Chadron, Alliance, Valentine) almost Alaskan in their isolation. I'm assuming nobody realized how talented Woodhead was until he started churning out high numbers at Chadron St.
all true, Danny wasn't getting looks from P5 schools, but Frank could have been a bit more lucky and got him to campus and found that diamond in the rough. May have put a few more points on the scoreboard and a could more wins on the record. Maybe Frank stays a year or two longer until a better replacement than Bill Callahan was available.
