If Bo can reel in these Osborne brothers I will be extremely happy with the class he put together. Sure it's not going to be a top 10, but how many other programs could get a class like this after going 5-7 and giving up 60 points every week?

After seeing Chris Whaley's video, I'd be more than happy getting him. I think he'll turn out to be the better back anyways.

That kid runs ANGRY! He reminds me of a Eddie George/Larry Johnson type of runner. Man I would love to have this kid at Nebraska! Those are great comparisons. He also reminds me a bit of Ahman Green with how smooth and effortless his running looks. He probably needs to learn to get his pads a bit lower going through the line though. He runs pretty upright and will take some serious shots in college. I don't mean to be nit picky or anything...this kid would be an awesome addition to the team!

F this f'ing thread.

Interesting that the 9ers blogger compared Keller with Philip Rivers...I think their deliveries are similar, but Sam can put a lot more mustard on it.

Re-read that part about the money. The article is saying that Watson makes $225K, which is less than 5 assistants at Bama...not that he makes $225K less than 5 assts at Bama.

Really? He's choosing Tulsa over being a Husker?

Don't kid yourself about counting stars. Harrison Beck ring a bell? I'm just sayin........ I agree with you that stars don't mean much, but this kid has some good athletic ability. I expect him to be at least a two-year starter for us.

I'll admit I was one of the guys who was questioning Bo's recruiting a bit, especially when it seemed like the whole class was decommitting. But he's proven that he is not only adequate but good at it as well. I can't wait to see how he does when he has a turnaround season to point to!

If we can win 9 games next season, I think we'll land some serious players. With 7 or 8 wins we would still end up with a good class, but a nice 9 win season with an upset win or 2 and the 2009 recruiting class will be dynamite. We're on the way back folks!

I highly doubt that Ben Cotton even plays this year, let alone become a starter.

It's funny how we all seem to be on the same page here. Best 1. How we won the Orange Bowl after the '94 season. I still get goosebumps remembering Cory's 2nd TD. 2. Fiesta Bowl after '95 season: the 2 sacks in a row where the first got Wuerffel just short of a safety and then on the next play...2 points! 3. Frazier outplaying Ward in Orange Bowl after '93 season. Worst 1. Brook Berringer's death 2. Losing to FSU in the 1994 Orange Bowl. Cried when we missed the FG. 3. Losing to CU 62-36. It was clear then that the dynasty was over.

His size and athleticism would make him a great fit covering some of the bigger WRs in the B12!

I know they just had a great year and all, but it's still weird to be hoping that we can steal KU's recruits.

Do you think he's fast enough to be used like UF uses Percy Harvin? That would be a great weapon for us to have.

There is so much talent available in Texas; having strong connections there should really help the program.

Some chemical enhancement like we had in the mid-90s would be nice too.

Solid Footwork? He has a strange follow through the way he raises his right leg after he throws..Reminds me of the time I tried to teach my wife to throw a spiral. Sometimes coaches have kids do this to stop them from throwing off their back foot.

Welcome, Cameron. You will be loved for the rest of your life by an entire state, and thousands of husker fans across the country.

Hopefully this means that we are close to landing one of our other QB targets.

This is a great thread, and their are some great points in the posts. I tend to agree with those who think our offense is close, even a slight improvement in the running game would pay huge dividends. The D needs tons of work; like some have said, it's going to be like starting a bunch of freshman with all the technique development they need. Now, often times "improvement" from one year to the next is due more to the schedule than the team actually improving. Next year's schedule will be very difficult, and we may not see a ton of improvement in the W-L column (though I think we can win 8 games). I do expect to see things like better tackling, swarming to the ball, db's looking for the ball, etc. But it may take a couple years for everything to come together.

He's got a great name for a linebacker too. I can hear it now..."Alonzo Whaley coming on a blitz; Whaley drills Freeman and drives him into the ground!"

I like going after guys like this from Texas. At least we can trust they know how seriously to take football!

Good to see Bo getting respect outside Nebraska. It truly will be interesting to see the change in the team next year, but imagine how different it will be 4 years from now with senior leaders who have been with him for their entire college career!

If we can get this guy it will definitely be interesting to see what position he ends up playing. I would guess DB plus returning kicks. But maybe as a soph or junior he could get some snaps at WR as well.
