Junior To Watch: Jerrell Powe by Mike Matya Jerrell Powe is one of the top interior defensive line recruits in the entire nation this coming season. He already has the Cornhuskers high on his list of favorites and the defensive line is the highest need area for next year’s recruiting class. HuskersIllustrated.com talked to Jerrell to see what the extent and seriousness of his interest in Nebraska is. Saw this on the free part of HI. Sounds promising!!!

I just got Eric "the Red's" newsletter thing and loved it!!!

The link brings up nothing, but that was the best stuff anyway.

More from the the Omaha World-Herald interview with Harvey Perlman: Q. Did Nebraska get manipulated by people in Arkansas when it tried to talk to Coach Houston Nutt? A. Yes, I think so. There were a lot of people who have interests here. There is a standard of behavior in this business that obliges us to talk to their athletic director (Frank Broyles) before you talk to a coach. That leaves you vulnerable. It was unfortunate, and certainly created unfortunate perceptions about what we were doing, and I regret those perceptions. Q. The big thing seemed to be the Arkansas rumor that we were offering $2 million or more to hire Nutt. Are you satisfied that that never happened? A. I'm not only satisfied, I know that nobody at this university authorized or made such an offer, and I'm not playing games with definitions about what is or is not an offer. There is a lot of misunderstanding about the way this dance is conducted. When talking to potential candidates, you tell them the range of salaries you are thinking about in case you ultimately offer them a job. There was never any conversation that exceeded $1.5 million. Q. Did you hear from a lot of people when that rumor was made public? A. Oh, yes. And understandably so. People did not give us the benefit of the doubt about some of the speculation that was surfacing, and that was unfortunate. The link: http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_np...40&u_sid=998578

Which spots still need to be filled?

That puts Nebraska at 12-7. They will need to get about 20 wins to go to the big dance. What do you guys think are our chances of doing it?

I would like to know what some of you guys think about how this years offense will compare to last years. Thanx

I agree with all of you guys, and I am glad that TO spoke out. But I would also like to say that even tho I am sad about alot of husker traditions being thrown out the window and a lot of husker coaches with deep roots in Nebraska leaving, I think it is being done for the right reason, to keep the biggest husker tradition of all, and that is WINNING!!!

I have heard that Tierre Green(I love the blood line) is the favorite along with Corey Ross for the starting job at half back.

Yeah it would be nice if there was a link. Cuz I couldn't find it on Ebay.

according to theinsiders and rivals...yes

and to add to the misery...Rory Johnson committed to Mississippi State!!!!

According to his head coach, Coley is leaning towards NU and should make his decision by 4 p.m. tomorrow.

Rory Johnson has us listed at high, and above ole miss and miss st.!!! Keep your fingers crossed!!!

He is going to UConn.

Does anyone have the latest???

We are 24th on Rivals right now!!! and that is without Murtha!!! With that high of a jump with grixby I was definitely wrong earlier!! I bet we get up to 18th with him!! But I was wrong last time so hopefully I will be wrong again and we are even higher than that!!!

I was looking on rivals for how many points they gave to a 4* CB and a 4*OL and it was about a 100 points for each. And if you add 200 points to our total points we already have, that put us at about 22nd!!! I am probaly wrong with my calculations, but even if it is around 22nd and thinking about the possibilities we still have, the class of 2004 looks all right!!!

Besides Muy, who has already committed to us, we are highest on Gallon's and Darity's lists. They both have us and all the the rest of the teams that are the highest on their lists at medium. Incidently, those 2 are the 2 highest rated of the five!!!

Hooray!!!! I went and found the link: http://minnesota.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fi...9891942&style=1

Not only is Murtha a big guy, but he is also a pretty good athlete. He runs a 4.9 40(the same as Beau Davis), plays numerous other sports including hockey, and is going to run the 100-yard dash for his high school track team. I just hope we get him and he makes an impact.

Looks like Big Murtha will be making his decision tomorrow: http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/s...ges/7796550.htm He would be a HUGE commit!!!

You kinda knew it was coming, but it feels great to actually have it happen!!! Here is a link: http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_np=0&u_pg...38&u_sid=986367
