I'd say the biggest loss . . . by far . . . is Danny Woodhead. I'd have loved to see what that kid could have done at Nebraska. I think Burkhead is similar in playing style . . . but Danny is probably significantly faster.

Woodhead: 4.33 to 4.38 40 time at the NFL Combine

Burkhead: 4.46 to 4.55 reported through various recruiting services

I'd say that about proves your point on the speed issue.

Wow. I knew Woodhead was fast but that is blazing. If he had come to Nebraska he might have been the second fastest Husker of all time. (I think Fabian Washington ran a 4.25 at the combine.)

There are reports that Ahman Green ran a 4.2 or just under that.

Wow. There are probably others faster as well. I'm just going off of what I've remembered from combine times.

 
The Prater boys were not offered scholarships by Callahan but were offered by and committed to Iowa. When Pelini was hired he offered both of them and they visited NU the same week PJ Smith did I believe. (Jan. 18th)

They ended up going to Iowa because it was so close to signing day and they had formed relationships with Iowa's coaches that they didn't have time to form here. However both had off field issues at Iowa, Shaun was suspended after a DUI and Shane Prater left the team due to academics and is now at Iowa Western I believe.

Trevor Robinson was a big loss, we lost him because his dad didn't want him going to Nebraska for some reason. He was very interested but his dad basically called the shots on that one.
