So, I haven't really paid attention to recruiting until like, last year. I take it the "star" system didn't come into place until very recently? So I guess we couldn't really get rankings for past Husker recruiting classes, huh?

Alex Henery? He transferred in from Vanderbilt, right?

Hehe, good point. Although it probably won't be possible to make a Big 12 game, since Colorado (Thanksgiving break) is away.

Yeah...good points. It's just harder for me to have an informed opinion of Frazier, since I wasn't really cognizant of football in his heyday. I feel from the highlight tapes that he was a good passer, but I mean, you only get so much from a 5 minute tape of '95 season highlights. I never liked Vick that much. Young is solid, but I think my Husker bias will weigh in also on the comparisons...

Not exactly a ringing endorsement from his coach... http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=1200...;u_sid=10061221 Not to be a downer, but I find it surprising a coach would say that about one of his former guys...

Yeah, that's true...I just think with next year's already superb RB class, if he just matches Bjax's production it won't be enough. If you mean Bjax's production as a starter extended over the course of the season, then maybe. But he has to realize he probably won't be 2nd round?...it'll be tough unless he completely tears it up.

Hm, I would dispute that playaction throws are easiest to make. Given our system, I think we typically threw the ball on lower percentage situations (I think this was mentioned by the commentators during one of the Crouch era games I saw, so I can't really back this up, but it makes sense). The other guys attack the open field all the time, but at least in the Crouch era it was 2nd and long, 3rd and long situations, or with the playaction, which carries at least a fair risk of interception. Well, I think anyway...don't really know. Although Frazier's stats don't compare, I think evaluating based on talent alone, he was a great thrower, just used in different ways. I'm not so sold on Vick as a passer, but this is a debatable point, I suppose. Also: Not bad for the type of system he ran. He completed 56% of his passes that year, compared to 43 the year before when he was largely injured. That doesn't say it all though, because he was also in the 40's as a freshman and sophomore, although with so few attempts.

Thanks for all your input guys! I have school, so it'll probably come down to USC and Nevada, most likely Nevada given the ticket situation. Although maybe Ball St. is a possibility...

Let's get Teafatiller 30 receptions and see how many touchdowns he can do with that :-P

I hadn't thought of that it's a good point, but you also have to take into account who else will be leaving namely Darren McFadden, Mike Hart and likely Steve Slaton. My point is it will be a draft loaded with running backs which is a big part of why Brandon Jackson decided to forgoe his senior season to enter the draft. that's just my prespective on the situation. but here's to hoping he has the kind of season you speak of that would convince him to go against those players in the draft, because you sure could be right his stock might be at an all time high after this season. Yeah, unless Lucky has an *astounding* year I don't see any reason why he would turn pro. We have done solid RB recruiting though, lots of 4 stars, if we get a good commitment this year I wouldn't be too worried.

I like Ganz a lot, but if he doesn't win the starting job this season, I don't see him holding it down next year. Give the other guys a year to adapt to the system...what a battle it would be. My thoughts? It would be great to see Ganz start at Nebraska at some point. It's hard to know if it'll happen; certainly the odds are stacked against him. Interesting logjam at QB we'll have, between Ganz, Witt, Lee, and Gabbert... Where do you project Todd Peterson, by the way? I hope he tears it up this year...it'll be about time.

*sigh*....when are they going to make NCAA for PC? Great covers though! I like the last one of Lucky.

Was Joe Ganz from Michigan? ;-) I don't know who you're referring to.

It REALLY irks me when the sports media talks about this "new wave" of flashy, exciting mobile quarterbacks. Like Michael Vick! Oh my, he can run! Changing the definition of the QB position! Revolutionizing the sport! Um....it's not like Nebraska hasn't been doing that for the past era?

So I haven't been to a Husker game, ever (moved from Nebraska at a young age) but we're thinking of visiting. Nothing definite because a lot of scheduling has to pan out right, but if we were able to attend a game, what do you guys think? USC, because it's a game of such implications? Nevada, because we *know* we're going to smoke them and that will be fun to watch?

Easy, man...maybe they took the quotes from Devaney, but at least to me it sounded like it was the exact same audio. Not going to get in a dispute over this. Let's just say, I *like* the direction this team is going in, and that was just in response to TarheelTrojan's line about how it sounded like Al Pacino. OK?

Sweet! :-P

That's not Devaney, is it? I mean, that's *actually* Al Pacino.

The NCAA has far bigger fish to fry. Why is the USC investigation going nowhere?

Wait a minute, what the heck happened to Cal?? I worry about the solidity of his commitment.

Rippy and...Mohler? Sweet What does this say about our chances with Brown and Major though? We already have 3 LB's for next class - assuming none decommit. Still, I like this.

Haha...but I'll be a spoilsport and say that we ought to have respect for our *true* rival school. NU-OU was one of the great rivalries in the past, and I wish we could get to play them every year.

Is that from your website, bugeater?

Yeah, the posters on the site are pretty awesome. It's a good board.

Biere committed to Kansas.
