Is Nebraska back in it with four-star JUCO DT Ben Bradley? Here's the latest...decision coming Wednesday. ($) http://bit.ly/U4hR3E #Huskers

I like my DT's at 315... Are we in it?

 

[Brouhaha]

Not that it matters. But is 5.2 regarded as a fast or slow 40 for a DT?

Got this from MLB 51's post in the Toby Johnson thread.

From another site -
Bradley said since late last week he and his family have had multiple conversations with NU head coach Bo Pelini, defensive coordinator John Papuchis along with Kaczenski. Bradley said he will make his official decision on Wednesday between Tennessee, Nebraska, Missouri and Kentucky from his home in Atlanta...is Nebraska the team to beat?

Highlight film from his senior year of high school apparently. Couldn't find anything from his Community College days, but he has apparently put on 30-35 pounds.

Good enough... How often do DT's need to run 40 yards?

It's not too bad, especially for his size. This is probably a more accurate time that we'll see though. Most high school 40 times aren't very accurate.

If we could land this guy... I can forget about the last 2 DT we lost out on very easily.

 

[Haspula]

i think 40 time doesnt matter that much, how fast he comes off the snap is more important

I'd sure take him. This would be huge!

No doubt. We need big boys in the interior.

I'm not falling for this again. Hopes up till Wednesday and then all bummed out.....not me, not this time.

Ok, nevermind that.....I'm all in!!! Lets get this guy. If nothing else, it might quiet some of the negative folks.

Yeah a little slow, he might be a little higher rated if he was faster. Bo likes DT's that can get after the QB's a little, but as long as your DT's can get some push they will give your ends a better chance to get to the QB. The fact is we need a pure run stopper next year, and Bradley fits the bill. He would be a great pick up, and along with VV and the rest of our boys, DT wouldn't be the issue next year as it was this year, as long as we stay HEALTHY!!
