Talented young man it appears. But I can't help but notice how poor the competition was, I mean they ran the same exact play over and over and over. Very impressive highlight tape nonetheless.

As many question marks as I have about the defensive side of the ball, I feel like we have more options compared to last season, when we were scrambling to find corners and healthy D-lineman.
I'm eager to see who breaks the rotation at DT with everyone healthy. Sure bets for starters are Steinkuhler and Rome. Then you have Randle, Guy, Peat and Kevin Williams fighting for playing time. That group has quite a bit of potential.
LB depth will be similiar to our corners last year. Lots of question marks but lots of options. Compton is a leader and had a great year, Whaley came on towards the end and coaches thought the light finally turned on, if Fisher plays we are in for a long year, between Santos and Zaire I think one, if not both will be impact players.
I like most people think Seisay will start from Day 1. Andrew Green started playing much better, if he has a good spring I look for him to have a solid season. Evans was one of the biggest disappointments from last season. He got way to overhyped, based on him having a few good plays in the Mizzou game in 2010.
If Heard sticks to DB I would almost guarantee he takes a year to redshirt to learn the ropes.
Last thought, LET COURTNEY OSBORNE PLAY! Dude is a playmaker.

I suppose the thinking is the ace recruiters should be out there recruiting. Why don't you like Els for it? I don't know much about Els, still.
bingo. why on earth would we want our top recruiters spending their time organizing instead of actually recruiting?
100% Agreed. I questioned this at first but makes total sense

Looking back, i think 2009 was one of our best classes in a while. Do you guys think this years class, surpasses the 2009 one?
2009: http://rivals.yahoo.com/nebraska/football/recruiting/commitments/2009
Personally I think last years class will end up far better than that 09 class.

OP, we will find out in 3-5 years.
I agree we will be able to better debate in 3-4 years BUT in that 2009 class, 3 of the projected best 5 never really amounted to much (Cody Green, Chris Williams and Dijon Washington). Rex and Ankrah the other two higher ranked that have contributed more. T-Mart and Gomes obviously stand out in that class with about 7-8 others that will be multi year letter winners/starters.
I think the last three classes (2010-2012) will end up more productive than the 2009 class.
Even without Bubba I like the 2011 class best out of all of Bo's classes.

USC just got a highly rated DT for number 14 and they can only take 15 sooooo Devian must be 15. Interesting.
Aren't they awaiting the decison of highly rated OT Kyle Murphy as well? I think he was down to Stanford and USC
-
I almost didn't click this topic because it's such a stupid time to have this discussion, but I decided I'd at least look to see who you wanted... and then you don't even say
EDIT: If you do finally reveal your choice, I suggest it not be Pearl or Bob because that will make you look even dumber
Why do so many people on this board feel so superior because they have 1,000 posts and apparently know everything about everything.
Make me look even dumber? Come on man. Either join in on the convo or do what your conscious said and not even look.
With that said I think he has done a respectable job with the talent he has had. But we definetly have to get better talent in here. I'm fine with giving him a few years in the BIG and with the facilities we will have but we got to make some strides which I haven't really seen any consistent improvements the last 3-4 years.

If Doc isn't gone this year than probably the next.
I have a dream coach in mind, who currently isn't employed right now and quite honestly would never end up at NU but hey I can dream.
-
If Shoff was as good as his measurables claim then he would have more schools than just Iowa knocking down his door. We aren't dumb... there's a reason other schools aren't jumping on board either. If we were stupid then it would reflect in his offer list.
His injury has a great deal to do with the amount of offers that he has received. I think he is well worth the gamble especially since we only have 11 kids committed to this class.
I agree with gamecocks but I still don't think he gets offers far from outside KU, KSt and Iowa. How many C-1, C-2 or Class D athletes in Nebraska get offers from outside Iowa, Kansas, and Ohio? Regardless of how impressive stats and measurables are it just doesn't happen. I wouldn't expect Shoff to get those offers even without this injury talk.
With that said I think his measurables and film are just as if not more impressive than Jared Crick was in HS, but with the scholarships we are looking to give out in this class at his positions (Thurston, Peat, Valentine, Curry), I think if he wants to come to NU than his best bet is to walk on and earn a scholarship. And I think he would pan out and would end up with a scholarship before he ended his career here.

I see we have offered another CB named Gary Simon out of Fl. He has a pretty good offer list and favors Arky and ISU(?).
Nice find, looked it up and has an offer from OU and visited them this weekend as well (1-22)
-
If he is that torn i would guess he will be a gator, the kid seems to like the attention and spotlight. Lets face it, he'll get much more of that as a gator.if that is the case, bring on curry! Actually i hope we take them both, dt seems a bit weak at the moment.
I'm much more concerned about CB and DE than I am DT.
DT's were pretty banged up this year but we return;
Seniors-Steinkuhler and J.Jackson, Junior-Randle, Sophomores- Rome and Guy, Redshirt Freshman- Peat and K.Williams
DE we will be deep for 2012 but that list includes 4 Seniors. That only leaves Junior Ankrah, Sophomores Okuyemi, Vestal and Ashburn (None of them have seen a down of significant action). Add incoming Freshman McMullen and Moss. That's a pretty inexperienced group for 2013.
CB depth is fairly similiar with 5 Juniors in 2012 (Green, Evans, D.Washingtion, Seisay and Jean-Baptiste). Sophomore Josh Mitchell and thin pickings after that.
Arguement can be made for safety too but point being that DT I am not too concerned about, doesn't mean I wouldn't take VV and Curry if we can get them. Would be great additions.

Things have seemed quiet with Mr. Cross lately.... With a final three of ECU, Virgina, and Nebraska I thought we would see a commitment soon........
Visiting Kentucky this week , NU this weekend and Virgina early next week. Penn St apparently wanted him to visit but he couldn't find time. Decision following next weeks visit.

I guess my lack of credentials on such a professional elite forum board just aren't up to par for you caveman. With my apparent lack of insight and rookie status, I should probably keep the football talk to the experts like you. Congrats on the 3,000 posts. Most of this board is a joke. I get on here to catch up on things, see if someone knows some info on topics that media aren't asking or to check on a possible recruit. Just because I don't have 3,000 pointless posts doesn't make me a "newbie" to the site. I guess I'll spend the rest of my day studying everyone's previous posts so I can fit in. Oh and I can't forget to look up sarcasm, such a hard concept to grasp.
"Can't wait til a MOD calls you out on it" -- Is just the topping on the cake of your post, get a life

You know I was just thinking, if only here was a thread to discuss A. Peat. Good thing you created one.
You know I was just thinking myself. You are hilarious. Good thing you spend way to much time on here and have to be a d*** to someone just making a comment. Sorry they didn't go to the recruiting profiles and put it under A. Peat's name to satisfy your standards. This is a football forum get over it
Says the guy who apparently made an account just to post this comment in an attempt to stir up an agrument...?
I visit the board regularly and sit back and read ridiculous comments far too much. His sarcasm just pushed me over the top I guess.

Concerning Depth...could the defensive line need more bodies?

Nice catches, Peat was missing off of the DT's as well.
