Wunderkind



I'm betting Malik Williams

Boom!

I know everyone is excited about Benhart, but there's a good chance he's not better than Farniok at this point. I expect growing pains. That said the combo of Farniok and Benhart is likely to be better than Wilson and Farniok. If Benhart is better than Farniok as a Freshman than our line is going to be vastly improved. Wilson and Hixson have had their struggles but should at least provide solid depth if they don't start.

N CB 6/10 by Brian Christopherson (247 Husker insider) 

And Nick Harris a Texas insider.

Somebody who a few days earlier I had no idea they were interested in us or had much contact with the staff.

Good speed, hustle, and moves in the highlights. Could make a good TE as well.

Frankly, we need to fill the massive void Stanley Morgan left first...

I'm hopeful that Manning and Betts fill that void

He's 2nd in program history for career rushing yards at a place with historically great running backs...that's not great? 

I think we have different definitions of great. We've had a number of good running backs, but few great ones. I would agree with SFW on his three over the past 40 years. Nationally, Ameer wasn't in the top tier of running backs during his time here.  Not far behind though, probably 2nd tier. Some times the better player doesn't get as many college stats because they leave to the pro's early, injuries, competion at their spot early in their career, or they came from juco for example. Ameer was probably the best RB we've had here in quite a while, but we haven't had a great RB in a long time. We've had a number of good skilled position players, but no great ones over the past 15 years or so.

Ameer Abdullah wasn't great? 

I really like Ameer and he was good, but not great.

Good size, speed, and athleticism. Glad to have him onboard.

10.67 10 meters.  Is that fast??                 

 

 

 

Even I can run ten meters faster than that

Just look up Revolve (the clothing company) a couple times and for some of you that will make your experience better

OLB- Keyshawn Green(East)

The Line improved quite a bit by the end of this past season and everyone returns! Even better is all the good stuff we've heard about the Redshirt Freshmen. 

 

I am far from an OLine expert and don't know much about what goes on behind the scenes but here's my way too early projection of next years line up. 

 

Would love to hear your thoughts and see your projections.

 

Returning Offensive Line Depth:

LT: Jaimes, Bando

LG: Hixon, Raridon

C: Jurgens, Farniok

RG: Wilson, Sichterman 

RT: Farniok,  Benhart

 

Potential 2020 Line:

LT:

1. Senior, Jaimes

2. RS Junior, Bando

 

LG:

1. RS Senior, Farniok

2. RS Junior, Hixson

 

C:

1. RS Sophomore, Jurgens

2. RS Sophomore, Farniok

 

RG:

1. RS Junior, Wilson

2. RS Junior, Sichterman

 

RT:

1. RS Freshman, Benhart 

2. RS Senior, Gaylord

 

I'm hoping both of our Freshmen, Turner Corcoran and Alex Conn get the luxury of redshirting.

I think this is a good starting point. Could see Bando take over Wilson's spot. Gaylord could be backup LT. Corcoran backing up at LT possibly.

I went with:

Corcoran

Betts

Greene

Manning

Fleming

Morrison

With my sleeper as Butler

Top 5 were easy, sixth one was tough. Thought about Mauga or Butler to add some defense to a offense heavy prediction. Put in Morrison instead as he will have a good chance to play early and often with his skill set.Thought about Lynum and Delancy for the sleeper as well, but put in Butler as we need a pass rusher and that's what he is good at.

Not a lot of people putting in Fleming right now, but that dude is fast. He just blows by people. Big play potential whenever he touches the ball.

I would give the class ba solid A. Needed a big WR and got a good one in Manning. Needed help at LB and picked up several potential contributors. OT, got one of the highest rated ones and picked up a CSU transfer that started as a freshman. We missed on a couple, but got 10 4*s. All this after a losing record. That's a great hull all things considered.

I know it's a little early, but really amped up about this class. Not asking for the best player or most underrated. Just looking for a grade and why. I would include transfers and walk-ons as well.

This dude can fly! Talk about speed, just a little crease and he gone.

I hope we land Brown...WR that provides immediate help and is just an all around solid football player. 

I don't know about immediate, but he does look talented. Would be nice if he develops that quickly.

Still some things up in the air for tomorrow, but overall the class is looking good. Looking really good when we include transfers and walkons. Lot of areas of concern being addressed. For the most part I like the guys that are signing and I hope all of them do well whether I guess right or not. Looking forward to seeing who else joins the team tomorrow and the second signing period.

I hope he still comes, looks like he has potential to be a good player. But if he doesn't there are some good players left that we can pick up.
