  1. Yeah we really need to improve the run defense. Even more we need to do something different against teams with running QB's they have been shredding us.
  2. He is going to have guys looking over their shoulder from day one. Competition will make everyone better. No doubt! This guy is going to be a beast. I can't for him to get onto the field.
  3. Glad to hear they will be playing DB, that's what i was hoping for.
  4. Seems like a reasonable prediction to me. Westerkamp sure had a great HS career and seemingly the sky is the limit. He is another of these guys that we as NU fans should be very happy to have join us. NU really needs a bigger quality WR with hands. We needed this badly. Jordan seems like a great candidate for fulfilling this need for NU. Seems to me that he could play almost immediately --- of course, he might not --- but among this years class he seems as likely as any (save for perhaps the two JC's) to be an immediate contributor. I would guess he gets redshirted but then again I didn't see all of our freshmen running backs playing this year either.
  5. I think he is the best pure pass rusher out of HS* since Ankrah in '09. He has some major work to do in the run game, but off the edge he will be a factor. FWIW he was a 5.7 3 .1 away from a 4 33rd ranked DE. According to Rivals. BTW not a slight on McMullen, he is the better all around DE. Edit: Among Nebraska recruits. Who is better --- Greg or Avery --- that is hard to say. Both had limited film to assess. They were in differnt places with differnt levels of competition. So, really we have no way of saying.... But both appear promising. Both "legit." and both will have the chance to play a major role soon. Greg is by far the better prospect out of HS. But what we need to realize is that Avery started playing football his Jr. year in HS (which he broke his hand). He impressed scouts basically in his Sr. year alone. This kid has plenty of potential No doubt Greg is a fantastic play that i'm totally pumped for but I really excited to see what Avery can become....lot of potential
  6. something about this pic makes me want to hug VV He does look like a big teddy bear, but will be a beast soon enough
  7. coded out the formula (i have it from a couple seasons ago) - plugged in this years guys, plugged in our hopefuls in order of my personal confidence, and boom...rivals points. That my friend, is very impressive. Good luck trying crack 247's formula The Formula where c is a specific team's total number of commits and Rn is the 247Rating of the nth-best commit Explanation Each recruit is weighted in the rankings according to a Gaussian distribution formula (a bell curve), where a team's best recruit is worth the most points. You can think of a team's point score as being the sum of ratings of all the team's commits where the best recruit is worth 100% of his rating value, the second best recruit is worth nearly 100% of his rating value, down to the last recruit who is worth a small fraction of his rating value. This formula ensures that all commits contribute at least some value to the team's score without heavily rewarding teams that have several more commitments than others. Readers familiar with the Gaussian distribution formula will note that we used the value 6 for σ because this was the standard deviation for total number of commits between schools as they were ranked during the 2011 recruitment year, the year this formula was developed. This standard deviation creates a bell curve with an inflection point near the average number of players recruited per team. Below is a graphical representation of how our formula works. You can see that the area under the curve gets smaller both as the rating for a commit decreases and as the number of total commits for a school increases. The y-axis in this graph represents the percentage weight of the score that gets applied to an overall team ranking. I wish I was smart
  8. No. He got fired because Pederson is a douche. Frank was fired for off field issues. Let it go. Leave the past in the past unless your talking about a Husker national championship!!!!
  9. Funny how people don't talk more about oversigning in the media. I think outside the lines should report on that. O but they like SEC schools.
  10. Maybe it means Martinez is getting much better at passing or his days are numbered if he doesn't shape up somewhat Martinez isn't a good *looking* passer. By any means. But he had a lot of catchable passes dropped by receivers. A LOT. The ball was there--our guys just failed to pull it in. Let's hope Mr. Westerkamp helps us out in this regard. The guy is supposed to have glue fingers. Let's hope the glue doesn't fall off the moment he walks on campus. Liked his interview on Sports Nightly, can't wait to see the kid in action. The thing I can't get past with Martinez is when we get in 3rd and long I am always worried he is going to throw a pick. I would say is most effective passing plays are when the defense bites on a run fake and we go deep. His intermediate passing game isn't that good. Hopefully he can improve next year.
  11. Is anyone else worried about QB's who can run? We can't seem to stop them very well. If Miller hadn't gone down I don't think we win vs Ohio St.
  12. What's wrong with Madison? They may be a bit vulgar, but at least they know how to get a stadium rocking. And so one middle aged guy was acting like a clown...that means the whole of Memorial Stadium wasn't "classy"? agreed, one guy doesn't describe everyone. I don't have a problem with a little booing but when the team is leaving the field we should be encouraging them.
