ILB Rodney Groce, Jr. [Mississippi State - Signed LOI]

[Decked]

Was there pro Nebraska specific news somewhere? 

Thought I saw that Wiltfong had an earlier prediction today to N. Switched it tonight to Mississippi State.

Dang.  Mississippi State.

They fired Moorhead. Curious if they release the signees or not.

 

[Wordek]

The NCAA usually will in situations like this. He seems pretty pissed too.

 

[Decked]

Would allow us to play Greene at his natural position and he could probably player sooner.

I thought about Groce when I read the headline this morning.  Really good chance he does not stay now one would think.

Lets say he decides to leave Miss State, do we really have a need for another Linebacker?

Maybe before but we have limited spots I would prefer to leave open for Grad transfers.

that’s my feelings here. It would be different if he was a really high 4* or 5* that would have a high chance of being an immediate difference maker. 
 

Im sure he’s a solid player, but doubt if he’s at that level.

Pickings are pretty slim at LB besides the ILB from Stanford & OLB from Temple. Bring in a guy to develop after Miller and Honas leave. You already have Mauga & Greene to provide depth or a chance to pick up significant snaps at least. Frees up Greene to be a force at OLB. I think Greene gets moved there anyway.

I would take Groce in a heartbeat

Last two schollies going to Groce and A.D. would make me happy

We need another DE. Best available & a high school DE.

I dont disagree with you...the problem now for me is it looks like the available DEs left are pretty much picked over. 

 

[Wordek]

Probably reading into it a bit too deep, but he has been liking Husker stuff on twitter since the firing.

Who is AD? Anthony Davis plays basketball and he would definitely be the big bodied receiver we are looking for. Just imagine he lines up in front of you and you are 6'1 corner and he still towers over you. Also, he can wear number 83 when he comes here.
