Hadn't seen what they interrupted. Apparently it was the ground-breaking for their new athletic facilities.

So ... Almeida took our only XXXL jersey with him?

Leanding towards UCLA with Oklahoma, Ohio State, Alabama and Mississippi in the mix. Nebraska didn't even make the list of schools he's hearing from the most - Oklahoma State in addition to those above.

Yeah, I'm not that sure about Alexander either. I don't think he's in quite the same boat as Thomas or Johnson because I think the coaches have changed their minds on those two. But it won't surprise me if Alexander doesn't end up here either.

Didn't play football until his senior year in high school. Was a basketball player. Redshirted his first year at NEO. So this is only his second year playing in games. Not taking visits until December/January. Kentucky, Louisville, Tennessee and Nebraska seem to be the leaders from the schools that have offered him. Also hearing from Arizona State, Indiana, Mississippi and Pitt.

Can put a lot more names under the "gave" a scholarship to a local kid who never produced compared to the ones who go on to produce at other schools This is the problem. It makes for a good article when you can point out all the examples on one side of the coin and ignore the other side. It's complete revisionist history to say that Callahan didn't give enough scholarships to Nebraska kids. The obvious miss was Woodhead but it general, it would be far more accurate to say he gave out too many than not enough. Native-Nebraska Scholarship Signees Since 2002 (as far back as Rivals goes): 2002 - Matt Herian, David Horne, Mark LeFlore, Kurt Mann, Jay Moore, Gory Timm, Dane Todd 2003 - Andy Birkel, Tierre Green, Josh Mueller, Bo Ruud, Brandon Teamer 2004 - Andy Christensen, Cortney Grixby, Mike Huff, Clayton Sievers, Ty Steinkuhler 2005 - Zach Potter, Robert Rands, Jeff Souder 2006 - Ricky Henry, DJ Jones, Ben Martin, Corey Young 2007 - Jared Crick, Niles Paul 2008 - Sean Fisher, Micah Kreikemeier, John Levorson, Collins Okafor, Baker Steinkuhler 2009 - Cole Pensick, CJ Zimmerer 2010 - Jake Cotton, Tyler Evans, Bronson Marsh, Andrew Rodriguez 2011 - Daniel Davie, Ryne Reeves, Zach Sterup, David Sutton 2012 - Sam Cotton 2013 - Josh Banderas 2014 - DJ Foster, Luke Gifford, Mick Stoltenberg 2015 - Michael Decker, DaiShon Neal You can look at 2004 and 2008 when we took more Nebraska kids in transition years and see how many of them actually turned in to contributors. During Callahan's years only about one Nebraska kid turned into a contributor out of each class. Pelini usually got a couple out of each class and he didn't take as many. Dirk found 14 who he says should have been Huskers. There's close to 20 in the names above that you could argue probably "shouldn't" have been. And I'm sure there's twice that many who people said at the time should have gotten a Husker offer but didn't and now nobody remembers who they were. It's easy to say on the back end and say what someone should have done. I'd like to have as many Nebraska kids as possible. But the fact remains that the state really only produces 2-3 legitimate D1 prospects each year. Even Dirk's numbers back that up. So you try your best to get those 2-3 kids and live with the results. You and I must view guys that contributed differently. I think all the guys I put in bold above contributed to the FB team pretty well. You and I both know that a 50% return on recruiting is about what to expect and by my figuring in that group about 36 of 46 contributed to the team. OK. 20 may have overshot a bit. You still have 13 non-contributors which is basically the same as what Dirk found on the other side. I don't think I'd list Sutton as a contributor and there are are couple guys who were backups on some of the worst teams we've had but that's quibbling at that point.
