Aaron Green

Some buzz that Aaron Green is leaving Nebraska, not sure if this is set in stone, or even reliable information, but it certainly would be a shocker.

Here's a highly touted recruit who showed some flashes in limited usage as a true freshman, although he didn't shine. But by all accounts, he had a stellar spring, vaulting possibly to the #2 position at tailback, which in this offense means a very large role. One of the criticisms I think many had for his play as a freshman was he tended to try and rely on his athleticism too much - bouncing around to the outside to his detriment. Sounds like that area of his game was really shored up this spring, and he's been developing as an all-purpose feature back who can go between the tackles.

And of course, who can forget how exciting the possibilities were for catching balls out of the backfield? And not to mention the positive reports on his ball security, playing a large role in how much he (seemingly) secured the #2 position.

If Aaron truly is leaving, best wishes, wish you'd have chosen otherwise, and thanks for a positive year. This one would be harder to understand than most (as players usually leave for playing time / better shot / new beginnings), but I'm sure he has his personal, private reasons.

It also looks pretty official, unless Rivals has jumped the gun here: http://nebraska.riva...&fid=&tid=&mid=

:hmmph I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!

 
da skers hinted at this a little while ago. Heard some rumblings, but didn't think it was true. Sucks... for Aaron.

Husker Nation will move on. Here's hoping he has good luck back in the Big XII.

 
A big shocker IMO. Where is he going? I can't figure this out unless Ameer is just light years ahead of him in spring ball. Now not seeing that spring game really has me thinking. Any chance he has second thoughts? This makes absolutely no sense and interested to hear his reason.

 
For the record, although I obviously can't guarantee it, I'd bet any amount of money that this does not have to do with Ron Brown.

This is Aaron's decision on his own for his own reasons. Good luck in the future AG.

Good call. Cross is a very exciting prospect who might have a good chance now at contributing early. Also Marrow could be a power back.

Time for Abdullah to step back up too. Man, I was really looking forward to seeing AG play this year. We'll remember that time he got way the heck open on a touchdown pass that went to (Kinnie, I think?)

Haven't heard anything supporting Ameer being ahead of it, all the reports coming out of spring were exactly the opposite. According to Sean Callahan, Aaron doesn't like the direction of the offense.

According to his father, Green would like to go to an offense where he's used more in space.
