Count me in the group that thinks twitter has it's purposes when used responsibly. Now on the point of "fans" talking to players on twitter...Again, I have talked to a few guys on twitter and feel that done in a responsible manner, there is no problem with it. I remember talking with Fonzo about Georgia and being Atlanta Falcons fans. On another occasion, I talked to BK about being a proud father (#TEAMPROUDFATHER). It's all about being responsible with it and understanding how it can effect things.... There is no reason to be negative and threaten college students because of a game...EVER! On twitter: @huskerbenny

I just noticed that Greg was downgraded to a 3 by Scout...That deserves a Chris Carter "C'mon Man!" GBR!!

Yet another LB target that I think we need to be pursuing a bit harder with Debo's latest offer and all of that...Any new news on Jared?

Another guy that has been pretty quiet since the summer... Any new news? I'm just going to bring up some of these older posts that haven't been talked about for a while.

Hmmm another kid that has been quiet as of late. Seems like he has a lot of offers from smaller schools in the FBS, but Maryland is really the only other BCS conference team with an offer (according to his Rivals profile). Any new news on Ghierry? GBR!

Anyone have an update on this kid? I know there was a lot of talk about him this summer, but haven't heard anything in a while. With Debo possible decommiting, do we put more emphasis on JR? Down to N, Arizona and Utah it looks like from Rivals....

Thanks for sharing! I needed a good laugh!! Wow...

Just because they are black and show passion and aggression on the bball court, you call them "thugs"??? 1964 called and said this new crazy act has been put in place...I think they are calling it...CIVIL RIGHTS!! And you wonder why there is a racism problem in this country...keep that garbage out of here!

When not rooting for the Huskers, I find that I root for Oregon. They are exciting and what I hope our offense could look like someday. Plus contrary to most people in this state, I like the random uniforms and think it's fun and exciting! NFL - Atlanta Falcons all day!! Liked them ever since the Vick and scumbag coach issues. MLB - I pull for the Royals, just wish they'd keep some of they're key players one of these days! NBA - No fan of any 1 team, but the beauty of the NBA is the star power. I'm a fan of specific players, not really they're respective teams. In that case, I would watch any game with Lebron, KD, Melo, DRose.... Hockey.........nuff said....

wow awesome! Yet he's a 2 on other sites...Why can't their just be 1 universal rating system?? I'll stick with the 4 !! Can't wait to see LD v2.0 in red!! GBR!!

Why do you say that? I have a feeling Ross Els has something to do with it. Are you throwing the race card out there or are you simply saying he's a bad recruiter/coach? Not pointing fingers at all, just curious as to what the problem with Els is. Why do feel Els is the problem?

This is a good example. Living about a short drive from Athens it amazes me how much local talent they have on a yearly basis. They do lose their share of talent to other SEC schools BUT they still rake in eviable talent that would make us overjoyed. For as long as I've watched UGA (just as an observer), they have underachived IMO and don't use their athletes properly. So, although I'm preaching to the masses, it always isn't about stars. I wasn't even trying to single out Georgia either...lots of schools (SEC especially) have already started on next year. I believe Alabama already has 3 commits and Auburn, Florida, Michigan, tA&M and Florida State are in the same boat. We have to travel to their backyards and convince a young man to leave his home, family, friends and daily comforts to come to Nebraska and start over. To some kids, the fresh start is a relief, but the majority I would say want to be close to home. We have built in disadvantages in the recruiting field and I think we've done pretty well with what we've got so far. This class will work itself out, but the longer we take to finish this class, the farther behind we get on next year.......and the next year........ and the next year..... I know you weren't singling them out, just sharing some of my thoughts. Our job is a lot harder than other programs but it is what it is. Hahaha the Bo Pelini response "it is what it is".... good stuff. GBR!!

Just to make another point...If football recruiting is so difficult, considering our history and acomplishments, how hard is it for Doc Sadler and his staff??? He can't tell a kid, "Come play for Nebraska...we'll help you make it to the NBA" (HAHAHA!!) or "We are a place of history with our...0 NCAA tournament wins"...oh wait... With what Doc has to work with, I'd say he's done a pretty decent job, and I think Dr. Tom understands. Sorry to change the subject, but I thought it was fair to show the bball staff some love.

Looks great, but he has faced by and large a horrid schedule... Hahaha...Ball vs. Nebraska: 30 rushes, 151 yards (5 yd avg) and 4 TD's. Seems clear to me.......

It's all about the location of the talent. I was looking at 2013 recruits on the 24/7 site and saw that Georgia already has 4 commits for the 2013 (1-5*, 2-4*, 1-NR)...Like me, you might say..."How the [bleep] do we only have 8 recruits signed this year when they already have 4 for next year???" Um...because they have a plethora of 4/5* kids that have been going to Georgia games since they were little kids, dreaming of playing for the 'Dawgs one day. We just don't have the same level of high school talent that other [southern] states have, plain and simple....

Ball is the winner of that one...or should be. I threw a vote to Burkhead, but realistically Ball has earned it. 21 TD's and a TD ever 7.3 carries is insane!

Never thought I'd see the day where we were battling it out with RUTGERS for a 4/5 * Dual Threat QB! Oh how the times have changed...

Link? Source? His top 5 has been pretty much: Mizzou, Bama, Arkansas, OU, and Texas for some time now. Maybe he doesn't want to go to the 4th best team in the SEC, or the hometown Tigers...how could he pick NU over a Bama or Oklahoma?? I'd even go to Okie Lite before Nebraska. We just aren't a program that features our WR's, but if he thinks it's best for him to be part of the Big Red, fine by me!! Maybe Beck has said...Hey DGB, remember what I did with Kansas?? We're bringing that to Nebraska, so get your popcorn ready! :spooners Why not?

I had a chance to watch him in action against Northeast this year and from what I saw, he could be a pretty decent player for us. The only downside to the game I saw him play, was that the coaching staff didn't use him enough! Whenever he got his hands on the ball he looked like he could score. I think he had less than 10 rushes that game and didn't even start. I'm still not sure why he went to Northstar....if he's as good as advertised, he should have played for Southeast or Southwest. I hope he doesn't fear the competition! I see him following his blackshirt heritage and playing safety for the skers. GBR!!

To everyone poking fun at this topic...you'd all be standing there, jaw dropped, hands on your head if you saw him get hurt on a punt return! Then you'd all be crying about how it's dumb to have him back there and how these coaches need to get there heads out of their..... Don't be hypocrites and act like if we lost Rex on a meaningless punt return/fair catch, that our team would be fine and you wouldn't be upset. If something like that did happen, every husker message board would be going berserk!! He's way too valuable at RB and we need all the carries out of him we can get. I'm not saying to coddle him and run him once every drive....but the point is not to give that 1 extra chance for the opposing team to take a cheap shot on a defenseless player. If you think this happens once every 10 seasons, you're naive... it's a game of probabilities. in the situations he is used, first he is there to call fair catch, second it is more likely for someone else to fumble than it is that he will get injured. So you're saying that we don't have anyone with better hands than Rex? ..... nevermind....i've seen our WR's....no response necessary!!

Bubba Startling v 2.0?? I don't know if I can take the media headache again! Does anyone know if he's projecting as a QB in college? If not, what position would he most likely end up?

Will he make it this weekend?!? We just need to get this guy on campus and show him first hand the pride of the blackshirts!! GBR!

Looks like he's on the visit docket for this weekend! Gonna be yet ANOTHER big weekend for recruiting! Linebacker U???

Rex Burkhead doesn't go swimming...water just wants to be around him!
