Love his size though!!

I am not even convinced this guy would start for us next year, might only add depth. I hope I am wrong.

This could very easily mean Bo Pelini's job, and I am not kidding. The problem is not that his system doesn't work, his problem is that DT's don't want to play in his system. Alabama and Notre Dame can get this kids but not Nebraska

Good luck with your bowl ban and suspensions if your even allowed to keep your scholarship. Have fun losing Beau!! You can kiss your NFL chances goodbye with that program. You should be a good high school coach though!!

R.I.P. 2013 season!!

Yeah I think the ship has sailed? Not sure why we didn't just get a tight end coach?? Nebraskas football program must be broke, maybe we need to sell out more of our games!!

I am on board that this will make or break our class, I think he is ours though. He has said if I remember correctly that for him OU and NU were the same except that we have much better facilities. I think that will tip him in favor of us. Having great facilities is important to a lot of players!!!!

I know other people are thinking this, but I see a lot of Adrian Peterson in him!! Seriously

Doesn't hurt bringing in a couple of TE's

Welcome aboard Newby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We could land another commit tonight!!

If thats true and we land both Russel and Hooks, our defense has the potential to be absolutely sick next year. Russell, and Hooks in the middle, it looks like we are bringing in two Eric Martin type juco DE's. At minimum we will have Anderson, and Santos at LB (unless a RSF beats one of them out which is a good problem to have) Two lock down CB's. Jonathon Rose, and Mitchell. Along with Evans coming back to play nickel/peso. Then Harvey Jackson at safety, and I believe Baptise will be move to safety or we could see Cooper maybe even Priest Willis at the other safety position. This defense looks like it has the potential to be a vintage Black shirt defense. Add that with our offense which will be even better next year especially if we land Sanderland. Fix our punt returning problem which I think is very solvable, and I think we might be looking at a NC caliber team here!!

I actually love this kid. I think he could be a good one. Great size almost a DT/NT hybrid, and we all know Bo loves hybrids. We need size at this position and Russell gives us that. Bo is looking for speed, but at the DT/NT position we need size. I would love to play to 300 plus lb DT's, which will allow us to get away with the 250 lbs DE's Bo is going with. I could see him going to a NT/DT middle front. I would love to see VV get some playing time along side Russell next year. We will be pushing them around next year!! Plus Russell has decent speed for his size as well!!

I get the feeling this might be the silent DT JUCO commit!!

Don't get m wrong though if this kid had wanted to come to NU I would have taken him, its just we need a healthy JUCO DT in addition to that. Cause there is just to big of a whole at that position

but he was also interested in Tennessee and most group them with a bad one for sure!!

I said this a long time ago and I meant it. Don't really want this kid. Sure he is rated high, but we have had 6 knee or back injuries at this position. We need a DT here healthy, as much as we need a DT. We need to get someone in here that is good but also reliable, and durable. It doesn't matter how good you are if you are on the bench because of injury. 2nd usually guys that r looking at SEC schools r wanting money. We don't need any part of that. Finally if he wants to go to an SEC school that has a lot of young healthy talent at that position. he will find himself rehabbing as one of those kids makes a name for himself, and he will be sitting behind one of those kids on the depth chart until his eligibility is done. We see it happen "all the time" in the SEC. Good luck to him, and I hope they honor his scholarship.

The way the SEC works their scholarships is something that the players will have to learn the hard way unfortunately.

Yep!!

Wow how long ago did I call this?

Absolutely love it. We need at least one, and hopefully the guys on the roster can get healthy!!

I like his speed. I am a little concerned about how small they are having us become upfront, We are weak against the run partially cause we are getting pushed around upfront. I am ok with this as long as we have big tackles!!
