Necava Husker Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 http://nebraska.scout.com/2/651163.html **free this weekend** This article is about the NU camp three weeks ago. It is free on Scout this weekend (and so are other Scout articles). Has a paragraph or so about several of our recruits attending the camp, and some others too. OL - Baker Steinkuhler - Grade: 12 - Lincoln Southwest (Lincoln, NE)Ht: 6-5.5 Wt: 290 40: 4.71 Nebraska verbal If his 40 time wasn't enough, add to that the fact that he played in the seven-on-seven competition, a spot normally reserved for so called "skilled" players, and he scored seven touchdowns. This kid has been called a freak for good reason - he is. His athletic upside is huge. His potential is awesome. All you really need to think about when it comes to Steinkuhler being a success is how long it's going to take him before he is. It's not a matter of if, but when this young man shines bright. RB - Collins Okafor - Grade 12 - Omaha Westside (Omaha, NE)Ht: 6-1 Wt: 205 40: 4.40 Nebraska verbal Okafor said he attended the one-day event at Nebraska, because he wanted to see where he ws at. Try a 4.40/40 on for size and start your speculation there. It's not enough that it was the fastest 40 time ran amongst the 400-plus attendees, but he also ran a 4.07 shuttle. He's got the size, speed and quickness that you want if you are looking for an elite Division 1-A RB. This year, as Omaha Westside tries to take the next step in winning the state title instead of coming up in second as they did last year, we should see some fireworks from this kid. OL - Trevor Robinson - Grade 12 - Elkhorn Secondary (Elkhorn, NE)Ht: 6-5 Wt: 305 40: 5.31 Nebraska verbal Call him the "big nasty", because that's what Robinson is. His size says it enough, but the great thing about Trevor is that even though he doesn't face many kids even close to his size playing at Elkhorn, he doesn't let that effect his style of play. He's aggressive all the time, plays hard and he's got excellent athleticism which was illustrated by his 5.3/40, 4.67 shuttle time and better than 26 inch vertical. The kid is a load, and he takes up a lot of space. Believe it or not, that's one of the criteria for being a successful offensive lineman. Robinson should have a fine career at Nebraska. OLB - Sean Fisher - Grade 12 - Millard North (Omaha, NE)Ht: 6-5 Wt: 208 40: 4.65 Looking at Nebraska, Oklahoma and Arkansas (He's N now) From last year to this year, you can say that Fisher simply got better. He's better side-to-side, he's quicker from a dead stop, and oh yeah, he's 6-5 and playing linebacker. I am sure I am not the only one who continues to marvel at how the stereotypical measurements we thought were the standard for certain positions not even 10 years ago - have all gone right out the window. Fisher is one of the new breed, where his kind of height isn't looked at anymore as a liability when it comes to lateral movement and flexibility. That's why he's sitting on 14 offers right now, and why he's become such a hot, hot name. The kid's a stud. OL - Dan Hoch - Grade 12 - Harlan Community (Harlan, IA)Ht: 6-7.5 Wt: 315 40: 5.31 Nebraska verbal If size matters, Hoch matters more than most. He's over 6-7, and he's got really nice quickness for someone his size, running a 5.31/40 duriing testing, along with a 4.67 shuttle. He comes off the ball fairly well and he's obviously very capable of being physical. That's the key for Hoch, or at least in my mind, the key to his success - he's got to be more intense. At his size and with his athleticism, he can dominate the prep level without really trying. But there's going to have to be a little hate injected into his veins before he steps on the field in Division 1-A. He's got all the tools. He just needs a little more tenacity in his game. If he gets that, he'll be legit. Quote Link to comment
