Yes, a bunch of times. It can get a little fuzzy because there are so many rankings out there but;

2011: Aaron Green, Tyler Moore

2005: Marlon Lucky, Ndamukong Suh

2004: Courtney Grixby, Lydon Murtha

2000: Chris Septak, Jason Richenberger, Terrell Butler 

1999: Josh Davis, TJ Hollowell

1997: Eric Crouch, Bobby Newcombe, Kyle Vandenbosch

1996: Deangelo Evans, Willie Miller, Dan Alexander, George Guidry, Mike Brown, Ralph Brown, Josh Gibson

1995: Ahman Green, James Sherman, Adam Julch, Tony Ortiz

1994: Grant Wistrom, Sheldon Jackson

1993: Lawrence Philips, Jamel Williams, Eric Anderson, Michael Booker

1992: Tommie Frazier, Clinton Childs, Ed Morrow

1990: Calvin Jones, Corey Dixon, Ed Stewart

1989: Derek Brown, Johnny Mitchell, Trev Alberts, David Noonan

1988: Bruce Pickens, Travis Hill

Missed it in 2008 where we had 5 at one point: Baker Steinkuhler, Blaine Gabbert, Trevor Robinson, Jonas Gray, and Bryce Givens

Since 1980, we've missed on four in-state top 60 recruits: Scott Frost (1993), Larry Station (1982), Tim Ridder (1995), Trevor Robinson (2008)

Be very interesting to see a list of the Husker players who finished their careers as one of top 20 players nationally at their positions.   it would be much much longer.   Thus the motto Nebraska football - where the good get better.   I believe this phrase or something very similar used to

adorn the weight complex.  Not sure it remains but it will sooner or later!

It just kills me hearing people say "7-8 wins". If you look at our schedule, this team should be GUARANTEED to start 7-0...

Purdue has beaten us the past 2 seasons and Cinci won 11 games last year. I wouldn't call those guaranteed to a team that can't make a bowl game. I wlll say that we need to start 6-1 if we want to take that step forward though

Iowa really wants this kid and we know their track record of TEs. Big take from the border state if we land him

It's feeling like we land this kid.  Was browsing this thread and this post captured me from a long time ago.

I'm curious to ask what the Top three teams other than Nebraska might be a better fit or project him to be a better NFL Tight End.  Any thoughts from anyone?

Personally, I think this kid would be developed better at Iowa ... just based off of track record alone.  Glad he is liking us. 

I don't know if I'm sold that we would really be committed to getting this kid 8-10 catches a game.  We might get him 8-10 looks and 3-5 catches in those looks.  Other than that ... he is a blocker.  I'm all game if he is used the way I envision him ... but how sold is everyone else that this kid will be used to truly change the TE position?

Input?
