NUance Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 A deep review of the 2012 Husker recruiting class By Sam McKewon / World-Herald Staff Writer POSTED: WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2015 7:00 AM <snip> The 2012 recruiting class is NU's first true Big Ten class. And, because of recruiting decisions made in Pelini's first four recruiting classes — the Huskers signed a giant class just months after Pelini arrived and redshirted most of it, creating a giant group of seniors for 2012 — the 2012 recruiting class was distressingly and painfully small. Just 17 scholarship players. LINK Sam wanes nostalgic, then looks at each player in the '12 class. 2012 is a solid class. Imagine how great it would've been if Avery Moss and Thomas Brown hadn't goofed up and gotten the boot, and Michael Rose-Ivey hadn't torn his ACL. 1 Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 You aren't kidding. 2012 is easily Bo's best class top to bottom (though we will have to wait to see how 2014 turns out). Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 LeRoy Alexander: Redshirted his first season, played in 13 games in 2013 — finishing with 28 tackles — and appeared poised to start in 2014 until he was suspended for the whole year. Pelini never gave a reason. Alexander's parents — the only ones who could offer up that reason — had no comment, either. Alexander is a junior. Alexander is a guy I had totally forgotten about. He played in every game two years ago and started one, but then had the mysterious suspension. I wonder how good he really is? Does he figure in the mix opposite Gerry? Quote Link to comment

I thought he would be but there were rumors a couple weeks ago that he got in trouble again. Likely for the same issue that got him suspended last year. Haven't heard anything further.
