  1. Hayden is a good one. Huskers never had a chance. Still here guys. You are not going to get much from the nations top ranked football program. Just waiting to see how long you will put up with Mike Riley.
  2. This is a little off topic, but I'llpost it up anyway and get ready for the beat down ... again. Last year I posted a video of a Jr High player that was about to enroll at Katy. I was rudly accused of "pimping him out" ... but I was trying to give you guys a heads-up on him. He was brought up to varsity and put on the field when featured RB Kyle Porter (committed to u. of Texas ... yuck) was injured and out for 5 games. Here is how that turned out. A freshman and he already has offers from Tennessee, Florida and Arkansas Deondrick also plays wide-out and QB and most likely fits the Mike Riley template for a RB. Another heads up ... we have another RB the runs a 4.26 40 yd. Timed electronically at the US Army combine in San Antonio last year. Didn't get to play last year ... was a transfer and had to sit out a year and play JV
  3. Riley said he would like to see what Taylor can do at RB since he is finally healthy. So, has Taylor been getting been getting many meaningful carries this spring?
  4. Incorrect. He tore his ACL one time and came back the next year and set the all-time scoring record at Katy that next year which set the 5A Texas single season scoring record. He was also the State Championship game MVP. LSU did not pull the scholarship offer ... Adam elected to accept the Husker offer over LSU. Also not saying he could win the Heisman at any school. Just saying he has done everything the Huskers have asked of him so why not give him opportinity to succeed. He was also the 2013 Scout Team offensive MVP
  5. Go back and see how many carries he got in last spring practice ... then how many carries did he get in pre-season practice ... did he get any?
  6. All I'm saying is give Adam the opportunity to be successful carrying the rock. So far Riley has not done that. Adam has done everything he has been asked to do. Ask some of the starters on defense about Adam ... they had to face him when Adam was on scout team. WOW ... that would take too much common sense.
  7. Some of us thought Taylor would be the next great Husker running back. Never happened. I sure would like to see him get some carries, and see what he can do.

Good GAWD, Riley give Taylor a chance and some meaningfull touches in spring ball ... he might just surprise you. He is big enough, strong enough, fast enough, doesn't hesitate in hitting the hole, doesn't go down like a wet kleenex, and certainly doesn't have any quit in him, has stayed loyal to the Husker Nation, was the 2013 Scout Team Offensive Player of the Year. What else does a player have to do to get an opportunity to carry the rock . He may not fit your template you would like to have as a RB in your pass happy west coast offense you want to have ... but that is talent being wasted. Kind of like clock management ... find a way to make it work for you. Don't let Nebraska be the place where talent goes to die. And Adam can pass pro with the best of them. By the way ... anyone know how much Adam is bench pressing lately??? Anyone know???
  8. Corey also just received an offer from Texas A & M
  9. Corey Bethley Also just got offers from UTSA and Illinois
  10. He is a good one. He was a big part of one of the most dominant defensive performances in Texas State Championship games ever. If you want to watch him and the rest of the Katy Defense dominate a Lake Travis team that was putting up 50 points/game avg. Watch the game. You will notice another DE names Michael Matus ... soph ... he is going to also be a good one. Corey Bethley is #7 http://www.katytrain.com/index.php?p=/discussion/1905/katy-vs-lake-travis-full-game#latest Scroll up to the top of the page
  11. I'm all for bringing in a guy with Hawaiian ties! If you really want someone wirth very strong ties to the "Tongan Comminuty ... go to Uless, Texas (DFW Area) and check out the staff at Uless Trinity. That is a Texas powerhouse football program that is known for it's stour defenses and power run game. They may have a D-line coach ready for the next level. they also have a large Tongan comminity there. To get an idea google Trinity Trojans-HAKA. Trionity has produced some vicious hard hitting defensive players over the years. Uless, Texas has a very large tongan community that has produced some very solid football players over the years as well as several Championships lately
  12. Kind of odd that when he red-shirted and was on the practice squad, the staff and the starters said he was ready to play, but now he is not good enough. Davey was good enough and then he wasn't. Wilbon was good enough and played, then he wasn't good enough. Everyone was saying Taylor was a perfect fit for the Husker offense. Riley comes to town and all of a sudden he is not good enough. You can call me butt hurt or what ever you want, but things just don't add up as to why Taylor never got any meaningful touches in practice or in a game. Only thing that changed was Mike Riley came to town. The same things apply whether it is High school or college ... the difference is in college ... the players are bigger and faster. You need to come to grips with the fact Mike Riley is not the type of coach that should be coaching the Husker football team. Riley coached a team in a town where on Sunday morning 90% of the people in that town had no idea who won the game on Saturday and didn't care enough to find out.
  13. Welcome to da board. I've been wondering the same thing for some time. Adam red-shirted when the coaching staff asked and played on the practice squad and was complimented at that time by the players and staff as being ready to play and was a real load to bring down. Then the broken ankle. Then nothing and he got very few meaningful reps in pre-season practice when Riley took over. I am guessing there may have been a rehab issue with the ankle. But that seems odd with Adams rehab and return to field after he tore his ACL in high school. So, I put him getting about near zero play time on the sports med folks and the new Mike Riley coaching staff that has no appreciation for a power run offense. IMHO Mike Riley is in way over his head at Nebraska. He came in there with no intention of putting in a power run based offense. His piss-poor coaching and game mgt. skills were on full display for the 6-7 games of the season. His clock mgt. and play calling skills were about as bad as it could get. He had players who were starters last year who were good performers were now judged to be so bad that they should not be allowed to be on the field. There were players with demonstrated on field skills now riding the bench for some mysterious reason. I'm amazed the Huskers with Mike Riley in charge was able to finish the season with a few Wins. If I was Adam I'd get the hell out of there. IMHO, and it's sad to say this, but with Mike Riley as head coach, Nebraska is a place where great talent goes to die. At one time Nebraska had an open door with the possibility of building a pipeline to the nations#1 (per the final 2015 rankings of USA Today, MaxPreps, VYPE, and HSFB100) ranked HS football program in the country. That train left the station the day Mike Riley rolled into Lincoln. Mike Riley's coaching shills are so bad, I had to quit watching the last half of the season. It was hard to watch the players busting their buts to try to win a game and be in a position to win ... only to have Mike Riley sabotage their efforts by his idiotic play calling or his deaf, dumb and blind clock mgt. decisions. Mike Riley is Mike Riley and will coach like Mike Riley. Why the AD and Admin. hired him ... I have no clue ... and Riley is well on his way in destroying the Nebraska Brand of Football
  14. WOW ... I said it after the first game of the season. Mike Riley is an idiot and he doesn't have a clue. He as a coach should be capable of teaching, motivating and inspiring players ... he can't do that. He should be able to evaluate talent and put the talent where it is needed. Then adjust your offense, defense and special teams schemes to fit the talent you have. Game planning and play calling is like a bad dream. Clock mgt is non-existent. He has talent, but no idea on how to use it. He has some kind of scheme for offense and defense, but can't seem to teach it to the players. Some how players that had talent last year ... have seemed to have lost it this year and are riding the pine. Imagine how demoralized the players are after watching how this season had unfolded under the direction of Riley and Staff. On the recruiting front ... If you were a 3,4 or 5 star recruit would you even consider hitching your wagon to this program ... not a chance. No post season for the Huskers ... get ready to start airing up the basketballs and head to the losers lounge ... you are going to be there for a long time. Maybe an extended stay if Riley and staff stay on.
