SIGNED RB Aaron Green

[EZ-E]

Thank you EZ, and just in case you had not seen this already here is Athlon Sports top 150

Top 150 recruits

I dont see Tyler Moore on that list. James Wilder is 2nd on that list and Tyler Moore DOMINATED him last season. Westerman is NOT better than Tyler. Not now not then not ever again.

 

[HuskerinHouston]

Moore is # 80

 

[EZ-E]

Moore is # 80

Thanks. And thanks for the link. I enjoy other opinions, but that is too low for Moore. Hes a top ten kid.

kc, when CGD was at NU for the UCLA game in 1994, they setup outside of the east gates of the stadium. I think that kickoff was 11:00 am.

First year of CGD. I just remember 2006 and 2007. Both of those were the 7:00 USC games.

Unless things have changed, at Lincoln the CGD crew sets up outside. I think that there is just not enough room inside the stadium but like I said things could have changed with how they are able to set things up now.

We can fit 86,000 fans inside the stadium, how is there not enough room? I think in 2007 it was inside the stadium. Found this pic, which may or may not be taken inside. Kind of looks like they are in.

It was inside the stadium in 2007. I know, I was there and actually got on TV for a second too. It was also pretty funny that Herbstreit got booed, I think that was after he complained about the ESPN competition for best teams ever that had 2 Nebraska teams in the finals.

I know his Brother/Cousin is a DB on the team, anyone know if he is related to Ahman?

His brother Andrew is on the team and is going to see a good amount of PT. Andrew is a big part of Aaron's recruitment and they are not related to Ahman.

i distinctly remember reading an article with a quote from Aaron saying that Andrew was a non-factor in his recruitment and that Andrew is letting Aaron make his own decision with no pressure what-so-ever.

 

[Husker_x]

Non-factor and not pressuring are two completely different subjects.

 

[ADS]

Andrew is a factor, but is letting Aaron make his own decision. Aaron's relationship with Andrew means ALOT, they are a very tight family who are very strong christians.

 

[HuskerMack]

I heard from a good source that he will committ when his thread reaches 20 pages!

 

[dylan]

We weren't cheated people...there was one second left...we were cheated by our own players, the kicker kicking it out of bounds and Asante's horsecollar penalty...if we won and there was one second actually left i would have even felt worse because then we cheated Texas out of the NC

i agree that we shouldn't have let it come down to the last second, but....the clock stops when the ref on the field blows the play dead. period. there is no precedent or rule for using instant replay to determine the exact second when the play SHOULD have been blown dead. see the end of the wash st. vs. michigan game in the 98 rose bowl or a million other games where an extra second or two is often lost at the end of a play before the ref signals.

(as a side note, if the ref on the field had signaled the play dead with a second left (according to the official, on-field time) and it was merely a clock operator error, the ref can immediately request the clock be adjusted to the correct time. this is not an uncommon occurrence, but is not what happened.)

sorry, back to topic.

Non-factor and not pressuring are two completely different subjects.

obviously having your older brother at a school of interest is going to be some sort of a factor. I just have to think that if Andrew was a "big time factor" then Aaron would have already committed. Also, i'm not buying this whole "they are a close family with great faith" thing either. what else is Aaron going to say to the media? With all that said, i'm just going to sit back and hope that he chooses Nebraska instead of pretending like i know what his family/faith life is like.

This.

This. We would not have been given the extra second.

Not sure at all about the source, but:

Aaron Green
Odds of Committing (to Tejas), Last Week to this Week: 45% to 60%

As Tipsy Gypsie reported earlier, our source is becoming more and more optimistic at the thought of Green joining Brown on the 40 acres.

First, dont discount the effect that Nebraskas move to the Big 10 has on the young man and his family. The Huskers will play zero games in the state of Texas after this season, and thats weighed heavily on the minds of the Green family.

Greens other favorite program, Texas, has a lot going for it. Its a great school, a great program, and its a short one hour drive up the road from San Antonio. Thats huge.

Also, the Texas coaching staff has done a good job showing how Green would fit into an offense which would feature another great back in Malcolm Brown.

Kick returns, motioning out of the backfield, and reverses are just some of examples the Texas staff has evidently used with Green to illustrate how were going to get him touches. It doesnt hurt that we used tape from two national championship games to show him.

Personally, I'd pick playing with my Brother and going away over having my parents at every game with my clean laundry...But my Brothers and I were very close.
