I love this idea if Turner is getting reps as a situational quarterback. We need to be more creative getting the football into our playmaker's hand. If using Turner as QB for a few plays here and there can accomplish that, then more power to coaches and the players.

Snyder is known for not putting in a lot of time during the season recruiting. He wants his staff worrying about coaching the players that are there currently.

 

Snyder loads up heavily on JUCO's and grey-shirts. Then the rest are high school kids that will likely red-shirt. With the grey-shirts he takes kids from small schools or projects and develops them for generally two years (grey-shirt and red-shirt years) before they even hit the field as freshman. So a kid may come in as 6'2", 245-pounds (4.8) but after two years he is 6'2", 290-pound DT that is a good athlete. Remember this kid is still a freshman eligibility wise. Again developing and coaching up players are the key.

Not exactly, grey shirting is just delaying giving a kid a scholarship for a year. They are still on the team and is in practice and they could even play if they have earned that right. But they are still using a season of eligibility or a redshirt year if they do not play. They do not get to sit out a year without using eligibility unless they do not even enroll in school for that year.

If he keeps playing the way that he has, then I think he can expect a scholarship before his senior year. The guy is an animal out there.

These guys were pretty cool... the hung out with us and enjoyed some of their home brew: Spotted Cow that I had on hand!

These guys sat behind me during the game. They were pretty cool through out with some good nature ribbing going on back and forth, but from about half way through the third until the end of the game, they did not say too much.

Here's some more stats for us to chew on, per Brian Bennet of ESPN. While it is sub-par competition, the offense is killing it on 1st downs. Still impressive....

 

"Nebraska has averaged 7.9 yards on first down this season. The Huskers have run 105 first-down plays and totaled 826 yards, producing 52 percent of their total yards for the season on first down. Nebraska had 359 yards on 38 first-down snaps in the season opener against Southern Miss, averaging 9.4 yards on first down. Against UCLA, the Huskers gained 194 yards on 33 first-down snaps, an average of 5.9 yards per play, and in a 42-13 win against Arkansas State the Huskers rolled up 273 yards on 34 first-down attempts, for an average of 8.0 yards per play."

not trying to be a negative nancy or anything but wasn't 92 of those yards on 1 play?

Actually, Taylor's 92 yard run was on 2nd and 6. So that play would not count in those stats, if that is the play that you were referring to.

So touchback is 25, and out of bounds is still 40 right

I believe the out of bounds kick is 30 yards from where it was kicked off from. So that would put it back to the 35, but I could be wrong on this.

If the kid is still 50/50, then why set a date for an announcement. He should just wait until he has a better feel for which university would be a better fit for him during the next four/five years. Don't just make a selection because you put a self-imposed announcement date.

If Cross could have the impact on our offense that Burkhead had when he was a freshman. That would be great.

Did Akoy actually grow up in Nebraska?

A salesman never wants a customer to go home and "cool off" over their product.

With Hillard getting let go, I am assuming Biggs cant be redshirted now.

I would think it would start to force everyone's hand on playing Biggs next year.

Car Ramrod!

I think that this is pretty cool that the University would have someone help the kids buy healthy food during the offseason.

I think it would be best to redshirt Biggs. I just don't think that he is going to add that much next year to improve the team. I think we all know that next year is going to be a disappointing season as far as wins and loses go. So it might be better to let him redshirt and gain experience in Mile's system during practice.

I am planning on going to the UCLA game and the Wisconsin game this year and maybe one other home game if I can get tickets.

Isn't the re-seeding alot like the NFL and how they do the playoffs?

We have pretty good connections down in Chandler, AZ, right?

Is Conner Beranek going to walk-on this year for Nebraska?

 

Don't know where this situation stands as of now but heard on a show last week that Miles was going to let him give a workout and give Conner an honest assessment as to whether or not he could help the team. Havent heard yet of whatever came out of that. I think he could contribute in pretty much the same manner as Drake did, but not be a difference maker. I'd personally like to Conner be here from the beginning, it would make him that much better working against a higher level of competition every day, and he'd be that much farther ahead by his senior year.

word around the block is that he's more athletic than drake

No knock on Drake, but that's not a huge threshold to surpass. I love the idea of local Nebraska kids contributing to the program, but the few times I've watched him, I'd be surprised if he warrants a scholly.

Certainly could be a walk-on though.

jmho

I would love to have him walk-on. I do not think that he is good enough to warrant a scholarship, but he could help out especially with depth next year. He has decent ball handling abilities and can also shoot pretty well. I don't know if his speed and agility would be able to work in the Big Ten, but at least he would be a guy that would work hard and push other players in practice.

I hope that the 49ers take a look at Crick at either the end of the 2nd (maybe too high for Crick) or pray that he last till the end of the 3rd and they can grab him then. I think that Crick will go late 2nd to 3rd round. David, I think will go in the mid-2nd to mid-3rd round. Dennard, I think will still get taken in the 3rd or 4th because of his talent. I don't look for any other player to get drafted, however a few will be signed as UDFA shortly after the draft.

If the o-coordinator is creative enough to get Paul into some mismatches, it could work out well. If they think he is going to be an every down tight end, I do not think it would work. But if he can come in and be the 2nd tight end and either be in the slot with a receiver outside to give the possiblity of running to his side or passing, or getting him in motion going across the line or out of the backfield, it would get him matched up on some linebackers that are thinking run or safeties that are thinking pass. That would be ideal. We'll have to see how they use him. Good luck to him though.

Is Conner Beranek going to walk-on this year for Nebraska?

I will be going to the game with about 10 or so other individuals from Nebraska. We are just not getting our flights planned. Hopefully it is a sea of red at the game.

According to Barton Simmons from 24/7, he's really high on Nebraska. The reason he can't make it for the spring game is because he's taking the ACT that day but he's still hoping to make an unofficial visit to Lincoln soon.

So he thinks his grades are more important than Husker Football.

Assuming Nebraska can take a full 25

 

3 QBs because we still do not have any real depth.

3 CBs

2 TEs

3 LBs if we're going to play more 3-4 we'll need the depth.

3 OL with two at least being OTs

2 DT

2 DE

1 WR

1 RB

2 FS

2 SS

1 ATH

I cannot see us taking three quarterbacks in one class, unless one is more an athlete than qb.

Did his brother have a scholarship offer from Tennessee?
