i agree with all except #4. we have a big name player in suh. he has been mentioned as a top 3 nfl pick in most predictions and is pre season all big 12 and in some all american. not sure what else you can ask for. it just seems odd to me that the players committing to other schools instead of nu. eli dickerson commits to rice over a schollie from nu, simek commits to tt out of the blue, bolton commits to ku over nu along with terry switching his pledge, gilliam commits to purdue for the love of god over nu and it seemed like lucas vincent committed to MU like it was his dream school or something. it almost seems like the name NEBRASKA is vanishing before our eyes.

even though suh is star to us, most people still don't know his name. he hasn't reached glenn dorsey's level of hype yet, but will probably get that level once people can see him on tv. isn't rice called the harvard of the south? if academics are his thing then nu has very little chance vs those type of institutions. simek was out of the blue and i don't know what kool-aid he was drinking, bolton i don't know whether we were ever that high on him. terry had family ties to ku. i don't think we were recruiting gilliam that hard and lucas vincent i don't even know his story.

but based on what i have heard calhoun has been our #1 OL recruit on the board, and we still have a chance with him. i don't know who is our #1 guy for lb and dt, but i strongly doubt it was gilliam or lucas (i want to say that fehoko is our #1 lb recruit because bo is supposedly recruiting him personally).

we have missed out on some guys but that comes with recruiting, even lsu, usc, and uf miss out on some guys they want.

i will agree though it seems as though everyone else has sped up their recruitment. usc and uf usually have a small class buy this time in the year. but i still believe that it is a long time until signing day and i would assume that many of our top prospects are still on the board for us.

You guys don't think we are big trouble when it comes to recruiting?? Take a look at this list:

http://www.nebraska.rivals.com/teamrank.asp?SID=928

We have FIVE recruits. FIVE. The rest of those teams (besides Cal) have double-digit recruits. Tyler Evans does not narrow the gap, folks. We need better players, period.

I can't find the site, but I know that last year at this time we had around six commits with another 20 or so to fill.

This year, at this time, we have FIVE commits with far fewer schollies to give out, and the kids we have are VERY well regarded nationally (I read recently that only Oregon, with the same number of commits that we have, is ranked higher).

Do I wish that we had more kids committed? Yes.

Do I want quality commits as opposed to desperate commits? Yes.

Is Tyler Evans a quality commit? Yes, and again, look at what he brings and tell me where he is deficient as opposed to most of the WRs we have offered?

I'll say it again, I think there is sometimes a bias in Nebraska against Nebraska kids.

 
IMO I think I do have a little bias toward nebraska kids when it comes to the lower ranked kids. How many yards did woodhead rush for in high school? Wasn't it well over 1000 a couple times? This kid does have the the height, weight, 40 times etc that we would look for. So I wonder why when he is competing against class b competition in nebraska, a place not known for very good high school football, he rushes for 900 yards and passes for like 300? If this kid is d1 talent he should dominate any game any class in nebraska but he's not even dominating class b games. that's what makes me think twice about his committment. The difference bt Evans and say Middleton who was also not very highly ranked at first is Middleton played against excellent competition every week and had fairly good stats. Even Pensick played against class a teams. He was also a position that is very hard to recruit so why not pick him up if he's in our back yard? i just think given the position whether cb or wr we could have got a better prospect.

He plays QB/CB in High School. NU is not recruiting him as a QB or S. They want him as a CB/WR. People were so upset whin Leverson left; this is "Leverson's" replacement. I do believe Leverson was a scholarship, and I do believe this kid has the same ability.

By no means will he be the next Eric Crouch (Who will? It's a different era)

This kid is a solid athete, and the coaches want to find a spot to put him in!

exactly, that is why he only had an offer from poor old Solich and no one else...........

 
I'm pretty sure Bo Pelini knows how to evaluate talent a little better than you wannabe Ms. Cleos.

Give it a rest already.

No kidding, give me f'ing break.

You realize this kid probably reads these boards, right?

Along with a lot of other recruits? Stop looking like ungrateful pieces of sh#t.
