Watched him play basketball Saturday. Moves REALLY well for a guy that big. I would think we'd take a flier on him and see what kind of match-up problems he can create. Especially in a bigger class.

Watched him play basketball on Saturday. Great athlete. Probably not quite as tall as you would like for a QB but I can see why he's getting a look.

I'm not sure Wingett would be in my Top 5 to be honest. That last game was so hard to tell because it was so ugly. But Arop, Fant and Davis have to be up there. After that, I was impressed with Riverside's point guard, Gothenburg's point guard, Aurora's center (who the Huskers are looking at for TE), and Vedral from Neumann.

Yeah, Good thing Gothenburg came back or the first four games would have been blowouts. You did miss a good one there. The finish was as good or better than Aurora/Neumann. I wouldn't have guessed Arop had 18. He made some good plays but didn't seem like he was scoring that much. Pretty good against that competition.

Nominations open for Fullback, Tight End, Kicker and Punter

Punter: Big Leg - This guy booms the ball down the field (usually 60 yards - 45 yard punts plus their 15 yard dropback!) to give the other team bad field position for their offensive series. Following through the ball and a high leg finish are their trademarks! This member's posts go "a long way" to making his side of the argument better. Unsung Hero - The punter has a specific job, and he does it to the best of his ability. He doesn't normally get a chance to put points on the board, so some fans and players might forget about him. But when he pins the other team by their goal line, it's a big positive for the club! Maybe this guy doesn't get a whole lot of kudos around HuskerBoard, but he can be just as important as an offensive player or a regular poster. Limited appearance - The punter is only needed on 4th downs, so they normally only play 5 - 10 downs a game. I would therefore assume the best choice for HuskerBoard punter is one who isn't a super-prolific poster and is only used when it's necessary!

Kicker: Consistency - This is a mentally draining position. The kicker has to be able to keep his head down, keep his eyes on the ball, and concentrate. This will lead to repeated precision in kicking field goals. This poster should contribute constantly and be focused intently on the main idea of any question or comment. Clutch - Since he's not on the field all the time, when the kicker is called upon to do his job, it needs to be done expertly. The entire game can ride on the leg of this (normally) little guy. Maybe this position shouldn't be filled by a "shock and awe" poster, but more by someone who only posts when he feels it necessary and when his idea will put the point "through the uprights!" Real Alex Henery type material! Strong Leg - Most times the placekicker will also be the kickoff kicker. He has to try to boot that ball off a 1-inch tee 70+ yards in the air and give sufficient hang time as to let his team get down to tackle the returner. Of course, he also has to be able to boot 50+ yard field goals into the wind/rain/snow to give his team those valuable 3 points! So, this guy needs to have powerful opinions backed up with hard facts. Also, if this poster's getting driven into the ground with his opinion, he has to trudge through and explain himself well in order to score!

Tight End: Durability - Not one to let the time of year or the game influence his play. Just as strong with the posts in March as in October. Knows what's needed - That ability to look around, know where the first down marker is, sit in coverage and convert. Nothing flashy but keeps the posts moving along. Safety valve - Knows that he is often the check-down receiver or the guy the QB looks for in a blitz package. A Mike McNeil type who establishes a reputation in forums and it's assumed he'll fill the role. Downfield blocker - Can move faster than lineman, is usually bigger than a blocking back, and so helps the really big running plays by sealing the corner or flattening a member of the opposing secondary. Versatility with what's said on occasion. Good "Liar" - The TE can act like he's blocking for the run but then quickly releases to become a pass catcher - especially on the fake dive/throw to the TE play at the goal line. That's one of my favorite plays! So, this guy might not always know exactly what he's talking about, but he knows enough to still score points with the members of HuskerBoard.

Full Back: Hard-Nosed - When this guy runs the ball, it's going to be right through the line! If you need a first down, he's going to pound the ball fast and in your face. This poster tells it like it is and doesn't hold back any emotion. Blocker - The FB can be the guy who springs the last hole for the RB or could stand up an oncoming LB in his tracks. Any time a poster needs a little extra info to make his point, this guy is right there to help him out! As with other blockers, this poster might not get the flashy TV time like the QB, RB, and WR do. Sure Hands - Primarily involved on 3rd down, you have to watch for this guy's late screening ability. Not only can he get that last yard, but the FB can stop on a five yard route and bang his way to the first down or even a TD! So ideally, the person most befitting of FB might not be a "dedicated" poster, but when they are here, they make good on their appearance.

OWH looks at all B1G teams over that span. Nebraska dominated the West. Ohio State and Michigan lead the pack but NU close to PSU and MSU.

Says his best relationship is with Michigan State who he visited this weekend. Also visited Ohio State two weeks ago. Visiting Pitt later this month. Invited to the March 12th Junior Day here but won't be here. Says he'll visit for the Spring Game or another spring practice instead.
