I can't say I understand all this talk of moving one of our young RBs to defense. Sure it worked with Amukamara, but I don't think AA or Green are the same kind of player that he was. And I can't see Morrow and Cross moving either because they would almost certainly be LBs and the staff has put in a lot of work to bring in a handful of them in this class already. I could easily be mistaken, but IYAM this is prob more of a depth and size building plan for a backfield that could definitly use more of both.

Both AA and Heard excelled at DB in high scool and recruited by many schools to play that position. I don't believe Green is being considered for a position change.

Ya, I don't believe Green played any defense in High school but I may be wrong, but nobody, nobody recruited him for defense. He isn't moving.

As far as all the love for Marrow I hope you all are right, but I haven't heard much about him I guess, haven't seen any film, and just b/c he was recruited by and went to Alabama doesn't warrant him to be good. I hope he can be as good as some of you think, but I'm surprised we didn't see him at all this year given we really could have used a thumper this year.

Marrow was not eligible to play this year because he just transferred from Bama.

False. He WILL be able to play this year. He sat out last year....He transferred from Bama to Eastern Michigan then to Nebraska.

Sorry got excited and read too fast, thought you said he couldn't play THIS season.

 
How many RBs do we have and need in this class? I'm guessing we only need 1 since we already have the 3 sophomore RBs and burkhead

We will only take one, that's if the right one comes along. Either Cross or Bourque would be a great addition, and really add another nice option in the backfield.

I'm faily confident in saying that Imani will be N after his visit, Coach Brown rarely misses on these late offers like Ameer last year.

I've watched his video ... guess I'm missing something on this guy. I just don't see the "it" factor ... the difference maker. He must have some intangibles outside of a burst.

 
Probably not being brought to be a complete difference maker, more like picking up a 3rd & 2 or 4th & 1

CROSS, IMANI

Cross ran for 1,706 yards and 24 touchdowns this past fall, also leading North Hall High School with 88 tackles. He ran for 1,407 yards and 17 touchdowns as a sophomore then followed that up with 586 yards on 63 carries (9.3 average) and 16 total touchdowns as a junior after missing the first five games because of a torn Achilles tendon. Attended the U.S. National Trials featuring 200 of the top players from around the country, where he earned a spot on the 2012 U.S. Under-19 National Team. Cross is verbally committed to Nebraska.

Can't wait to see Imani on the field. The dude looks like a beast. Like he could run right through some people. :thumbs

 
He said he's developed a fast relationship with Brown.

"It's been great," Cross said. "He's a great guy. We share a lot of the same values, but obviously he's on another level than I am. He's a guy I could see myself playing under."
