FB Christian Powell

[Danny Bateman]

So is this speculation we want Powell basically us throwing in the flag on Zimmerer from a couple years ago?

 

[caveman99]

to send both Bo and Ron out there means they are pushing hard. With Rex in his last year, I wouldn't mind seeing a 250 pound guarentee out there on 3rd and 2. Talk about demoralizing a defense - give this guy 8 carries a game in short yardage situations.

I wouldnt mind seeing it either, but with such a small class we have more pressing needs that need to be filled. We also have Mike Marrow who will be playing that role for a couple of years.

he'll be a junior though - this is the class that we should be recruiting to replace him. if we wait another year we'll likely be counting on a redshirt freshman in 2014. not that the fullback position is rocket science, but it would be nice to not have to count on a rFR.

i am still betting there ends up being room in this class when it's all said and done. we alway swing and miss late - and end up with guys like Marsh. I'd take this guy over someone like Shoff.

Playing fullback is not rocket science, we shouldnt have to recruit a big time fullback we have done well over the past couple of years with a walk-on FB. But you do make a good point, if we swing and miss we should take him since he can play a number of positions, and yeah Powell before Shoff.

I still don't like it. Too many other needs.

What's this here supposed to mean?? Don't count Marsh out yet..

Indeed... I think Marsh still has a shot...

I love that episode.

I'm guessing Beck wants to do something more with fullback than what we've been able to do the past couple of years... my guess is blocking.

IDK about everybody else but I think that Legate has done a tremendous job the last couple years. I've seen him decleat guys in the hole and bust Rex free.

Ron Brown doesn't think Zimmerer can cut it at FB and thinks Marrow is a big body, but is more of a RB. We are pushing for Powell bad, but Colorado and Washington are as well.

"Christian is very close to his mother," Esquivel said. "Location is a factor here. Otherwise, I'd think he'd go to Nebraska in a heart beat." Sounds like he's going to Colorado, or anywhere on West Coast. Not Nebraska

 

[HuskerT]

We can scratch him off our list, he's a lock for UCLA.

That is do sad. Such a graveyard of lost talent.

 

[girlknowsfootball]

Powell is a UCLA lock with Colorado as a backup plan. He is not going to go far from home.

 

[HuskerShark]

UCLA is a prime example that it doesn't matter what facilities you have, recruits will come. Apparently they don't even have a full 100-yard practice field. At least that's what Neuheisel said when he left. Kinda ridiculous.

Why is it that Colorado is not far from home? It's more than 1,000 miles from Upland, CA. I understand he'd play games closer to home when playing USC/UCLA, but Colorado's not a Sunday drive away.

This is probably the factor and the fact that CU has a lot of CA kids enrolled.

Powell to UCLA.
