  1. That's impressive. When the dust settles, hope he's N. Now you're just being greedy. Gebbia AND Coan.
  2. Offered by Miami. In an interview he only talked about Miami and Nebraska but says he's wide open right now. Attending Miami's Junior Day this weekend.
  3. Says he hears consistently from Oregon, Washington, Notre Dame and Nebraska. Says Banker communicates with him on Twitter every day. Says he has a strong relationship with Oregon and Washington. Planning to visit Oregon and TCU this summer.
  4. Says no favorite but Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa are in his top group. Visiting Michigan and Wisconsin next month. Says he'll have a Top 5 at the end of summer and take visits after his season is over.
  5. Graduating this coming December. He must have originally been a Class of 2016 guy. But since he's only a two-for-two guy, he must have redshirted and stayed at the JUCO an extra year so he's now a 2017 guy.
  6. Polls open for Kick Returner, Punt Returner and Gunners
  7. Kick Returner: RB wanna-be - When no opening is created, a Kick Returner normally tries to plow through the opposing special team members head on to try to gain some extra yards. Therefore, the ideal HuskerBoard KR has Running Back capabilities. You might want to consult the description of RB (not afraid to take hits, consistent, competitive, reliable) in order to best make a nomination/vote. High top speed – Josh Davis was the prototypical KR. He could run straight from his own goal line and reach a very high speed by the time he got to the 20. By this time, the defense has hit the wedge and he could either find the seam to take it to the house or blast through the best hole he could find to get some yardage. A poster who really gets on a roll with their posts and can find that bit of extra info that someone opened up for him would be a great KR. Dangerous - He may not be on the field a lot, but when he is, look out! A threat to take it all the way VOTING CLOSES FEBRUARY 28
  8. Defense Special Teamer (Gunner): Insane - Have you ever seen these idiots play football? They run as fast as they possibly can down the field in order to run into an oncoming wedge/defender head on! But, busting up a wedge to allow another player to make the tackle on the returner is very important. This poster probably has some weird and wild ideas, but still get the job done. Eric Martin is just the most recent example of this position, but Brandon Rigoni may be the best. Speedy - Once the ball is in the air, the defensive special teamers need to get to the ball as fast as possible to either make the tackle or down a punt close to the opposing goal-line. There's nothing that frustrates a coach more than giving the other team 20 free yards! We need someone who is a speed poster and has the body control and ability to down the ball inside the 10! Young - Coaches love to use true freshmen on special teams. Normally they don't want their skill players getting hurt on a kick/punt coverage or returning. I think this position should be filled by a "rookie" of HuskerBoard - maybe someone who has only been here for 3 months or less...longer if we can't think of anyone. VOTING CLOSES FEBRUARY 28
  9. Punt Returner: Fair Catch ability - If the PR knows he's going to get drilled if he tries a runback, he needs to wave the arm, concentrate on the ball, and make the fair catch. This poster should always think about the best way to approach a question and to give the best answer as to not bring on extra attack from others (and a spear tackle from a gunner)! Makes the first guy miss - The most important move for the PR is making that quick sidestep to the left or right to get the first man in to commit to a poor tackle (like Niles Paul's return against Colorado this year). Once this is accomplished, the PR can follow his blocks and use his cutting ability to score the TD. To me, this guy is really a sneaky member! He'll give you enough of a comment to reel you into arguing with him, and then, BAM! You've just missed the point completely, and the poster looks like a fantasy genius with his reply to your opposing viewpoint! Shifty - Can change directions on a dime, makes people miss. Look no further than Johnny Rodgers' electrifying return in the Game of the Century for the ideal of this trait. Rodgers dipped, dived and dashed his way through the heart of the Sooner coverage team en route to maybe the most important TD in Nebraska history. Lightning-quick speed and reaction time, young, smart, able to make an opening for himself where one doesn't exist. VOTING CLOSES FEBRUARY 28
  10. We told him we want to use him like Carter - H-Back, move him around. Claims he runs a 4.49 40. He asked about making an official visit. We're trying to get him to come on an unofficial visit for the Spring Game but he's not sure if he can make that work. JUCO guys can take OVs in the summer so he's looking to come for what I assume is one of the Big Red Weekends - June 8th, 15th or 22nd. Two-for-two guy. December Graduate. So he was listed as a 2016 guy but must be a 2017 guy.
  11. Already visited Kentucky, Michigan State and Ohio State. Planning to visit Tennessee and Notre Dame. Likely visiting Michigan now that they've offered. Wants to commit by the end of spring and peer recruit. Early enrollee.
