Here's my current feelings on Green. If USC or Texas are in the mix I will be worried that we might be out gunned recruiting wise. Specifically Texas . . . if they offer kids . . . they commit. I have a feeling Green might not like Kiffin's style at USC so that could help us out. Personally, if those two (Texas and USC) are out/don't offer, I like Nebraska's chances.
I dont know if Texas will put much time into recruiting him and here is why:
The state of Texas is very deep with running backs. They currently lead for Malcom Brown and Sims (or so they claim). They know that they are behind in the A. Green sweepstakes so they very well could just recruit Brown and Sims hard and just conceit Aaron to us. USC has really been put on the backburner from what I have heard in this race.
IMO Green is the best back in the nation. I have watched Sims, Brown, and Green's tapes all side by side. Green was the better back as a sophomore. I expect all three to be in the rivals top 100.
Every other reason for Aaron to come to NU is previously stated in the thread.
Edit: Herschel Sims is an OU lean and idolizes Adrian Peterson.
Malcom Brown is considered wide open.
Brandon Williams is considered a sure fire Longhorn and is right up there with Brown, Sims, and Green. If Texas can get an early verbal out of Williams that increases our already good chances of landing Aaron Green.
Kenny Williams is also a back that can really tilt everything in terms of where others go if Texas offers and gets an early verbal.
