Those stars are very inflated. Ryan Reeves will be the only 4 star. The rest will likely be low 3 stars, maybe one 5.7.

Human Action by Ludwig Von Mises Mises' magnum opus on praxeology and how it applies to economics. Reading with a dictionary. Slow going at this point and it's over 800 pages, so I will be at for a while. Mysterious Island by Jules Verne I have to read a novel every once in a while to stay sane, and I really enjoyed "20,000 leagues under the sea", so I figured I'd give this one a go. I like it so far.

McCoy a better player than Suh? No chance. Now, on the other hand, McCoy a high draft pick than Suh?........No chance.

perhaps you're thinking of joe dailey, because lord was a beast with the ball in his hands. Jamal Lord was an absolute warrior at QB for NU. Please don't mistake J-Lo for Daily. I don't think the NU QB single game rushing record holder, 234 yards against Texas, fits this description. I must have seen a different J. Lord playing...... "Warrior" does not even come close to the guy I saw playing. Perhaps this will jog your memory? Back to the topic. I don't think Turner will be quite the athlete that Crouch or Lord were, though I think he will be a good runner; however, I do anticipate him being a more polished passer. I respect your opinion, but I disagree with the bolded statement above. Just curious if you've seen any of Turner's film yet? He's also a standout basketball player who averages 18 pts. per game. The kid is the epitome of an athlete. That is quite fair. I will rephrase it. I don't think that turner will depend on his running ability quite like previous qb's, both because of his passing ability and the system that he will be playing in. I do, however, think he is comparable athletically, but perhaps not in running prowess (Crouch and Lord were just ridiculous). Time will tell. Running in high school and running in college are two different things, but I am excited for Turner (provided he signs ). oh, I have seen his film.

Watching Mizzou play Navy should have been enough to cross them off of his list.

I like how, at the end of the article, it says that later comes the list that "really counts." It's nice to know that none of the lists actually "count."

http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/32842-de-owamagbe-odighizuwa/page__st__2650 Have you seen the 54 pages of discussion? And He brought all this attention to himself by having a presser? I don't think so. Recruiting is big business, and it would pay for us all to realize this.

This a valid point, but the problem lies in "throw some weight on him." I'm not sure he has the body type to gain the weight required to play d-end. Although, if he could put on 20-30 pounds he would be a formidable speed rusher. Isn't depth awesome? Having log jams at positions is such a wonderful problem.

They are not installing a new offense, so they won't lose any recruits.

rumor is baker switches to OT and meredith moves to DT. therefore Ankrah starts at DE There isn't any basis for this rumor. The coaches gave baker the option of playing offensive or defensive line. He chose to play on the d-line. He has played at that position for two years, and will be the starter this year. Why would he switch now? He would be learning a completely different position. Besides the fact that we have depth at the o-line now, and he would be 5 steps behind on the learning curve compared to players in his class. Meredith is settling in very nicely at the d-end spot. Expect He, Pierre Allen, and Ankrah to all contribute this year. This kind of depth is a wonderful thing and does not necessitate position changes.

And Zac, even with his ginormous confidence issues, is still head and shoulders above any QB we have on our roster. That is why we need a true and legit QB prospect as well rather than an athlete who hopes to learn the position in their time here on campus. Remember, we may take two QBs in this class, so we may also go after a more traditional QB. Could Turner project as a safety or is he set on QB?

Not a chance. He is not the type to be scared by competition.

Not to rain on your parade, but..... Prince was all Big XII. He will be the best player in the defensive backfield for us, if not the whole Big XII. Moving possibly our best defensive player next year to offense make absolutely no sense. Reed has a huge future at tight end, and we have a surplus of linebackers in his class. He has two seasons at tight end under his belt. It would be straight silly to move him now. Baker is a defensive lineman. Please accept it people. That is where he wants to be, that is where the coaches want him, and he will be a starter next year. It would take a year, if not more, on the bench before he could contribute on the o-line. Moving from the d-line to the o-line is a HUGE change. Just because they are both lines does not mean you can transition easily. That would be a career killer. I won't even respond to the last suggestion.

There is no disputing it? Is that a joke. The rule is very clear. Why is it sad to look at a rulebook? Of course the officials knew the rulebook; they obviously didn't follow it.

Eric Martin plays so violently it gets me jacked....the linebacker position looks ripe in the coming years

Shatel's point is that "training wheels" shouldn't be required. If you need to be a 4th or 5th year qb to run the offense, than it is too complicated. No, obviously no one is stupid enough to think that Wats or Bo want Green to fail, but you can desire to succeed and still fail. It's not about wanting or not wanting him to fail, it's about putting him in a position where he can succeed. Please don't ask questions you know the answers to. It's a waste of everyone's time.

We need to cover our jerseys with flint like oregon, so we can get that spark.

This is silliness. on so many levels

He had 2 TFL and 4 QB hurries. How is that a bad game? And I remember him getting a sack, but maybe that was Crick.

With defenses becoming smaller and faster, I wouldn't be entirely surprised, in the next few years, to see teams try to take advantage of this and play a more power oriented offense. There will always be a natural ebb and flow to the strategy of the game. Right now it just happens to be the spread, but I would not say it is a hoax, many a team has been very successful running it.

A simple analogy to help you through this.. I can coach you all day long on the proper use and placement of an apostrophe. I CANNOT control your use and placement(or lack thereof) of an apostrophe as you post. Think of coaching and performance in that context. Okay, correct me if I am wrong. You are saying that the coaches can only coach, and motivate the players, but they cannot make the plays on the field. However, (playing devils advocate), if you do a terrible job coaching up my usage of an apostrophe would you expect me to be able to use it properly? No, you would not, so I don't think you can reasonably exonerate the coaches from the product that is on the field. This being said, I don't think you can definitively lay a significant amount of blame on the coaches, because as you say, they cannot make the plays on the field. That part is up to the players.

He played special teams, but did not get any touches at running back.

Note disclaimer, and thank you, that is a very valid point.
