  1. Saw this idea for a thread on another board and thought it would be good to start here. Everyone knows not all 5 stars are going to be 1st rounders and not all 1,2,3 are going to be scrubs.

     

    1) Seantrel Henderson-BOOM- Deserves to be the 1 prospect on every recruiting board. He is an athletic freak and once he hits a college weight room he is going to be one mean S.O.B. The guy has future NFL Draft pick written all over him.

     

    2)Lache Seastrunk-BUST- He should not be rated this high in my opinion. His game is too finesse driven. While he is explosive and dangerous in the open field I think he is going it find more difficulty making it to the open field in the SEC. I find it hard to believe he will ever be a feature back and may need a bigger back on the field to stay relevant. Could he be this years Joe Mcknight?

     

    3)Darius White-BOOM- He needs to add muscle mass, but the tools are there for him to be a good one.

     

    4)Marcus Lattimore-BUST- Nothing seems to be extraordinary wrong with his game, but nothing seems to be extraordinarily right either. He appears to be solid, but I have questions if he will ever be able to put a team on his back.

     

    5)Matt Elam-BOOM- The kid is versatile and very physical. He could have been a dream WILL in Bo's defense (a LB that is versatile enough to drop back in passing situations).

     

    6)Jackson Jeffcoat-?- Hard to evaluate. He's good, but is he dominate?

     

    7)James Hurst-?-He can get to the second level for run blocking, but very limited film of him pass protecting.

     

    8)Jeff Luc-BUST- Hard hitter but he does not seem to get a guy you have to game plan for. Maybe he's a high 4 star?

     

    9)Demarcus Milliner-?-Plays RB in the film I've seen, don't know about his DB skills.

     

    10)Lamarcus Joyner-BOOM- Definately doesn't play his height. He seems to be made for zone coverage scheme where he can play run support.

     

    11)Michael Dyer-Boom- Can do it all and is very physical. Would be a dream in a spread attack.

     

    12)Ronald Powell-?- Haven't seen any video.

     

    13)Chris Martin-?- Plays LB in the film I've seen. Looks very stiff at this position. Maybe best suited for DE as he looks like a vertical attack.

     

    14)J.R. 'Ego' Ferguson- BOOM- He could be a dominate DT and this is position I see him growing into if he is indeed already 270+.

     

    thoughts?

  2. Yeah, it isn't looking good. However - it is still early, and you know how verbals can change, so I'm hoping a few of those decide on NU after all. But I would like to see a few more committments for us at this point...

    I think we are ok as of now. There are still two months till football even starts. Jus give it some tome.

     

     

    I really think that us NU fans have to realize that NU is simply NOT a "cool" program to incoming high school seniors. Hell KU has had more sucess in the last 4 years. NU is getting the recruits it can right now, they need one or maybe two more good, or very good years to start being on those kids minds.

     

    Think about it, what do most high school kids know of NU? They had a sh**ty coach who is gone, they got worked over on TV a few times last year and they dont win big games. Its going to take some time.

     

    I think recruiting wise we are doing pretty well. It just seems as though everybody is overly anxious for action. When everything is said and done I think everyone will be impressed with our class.

  3. ESPN Grade of 68

     

    Burgess has good height and weight for the tackle position but must improve his overall athletic ability, explosion and playing strength if he is to compete at the major level of competition. Lacks good flexibility in his stance and not quick off the ball; as a drive blocker his pad level is too high and he gets stalemated on contact but is a battler who works hard to finish blocks. Flashes some ability to gain leverage when reach blocking but will have problems with quick 1st and 2nd level defenders. Have yet to see him pull and trap; shows balance and plays on his feet well in space. Will have problems in pass protection and could possibly be moved to guard. Flashes quick set ability but plays to tall and must improve his knee bend. Inconsistent punch; leans in and needs to improve his hand placement and lockout technique. This is an aggressive player who must improve his playing strength if he is to compete successfully for a starting position. Burgess is a developmental player who will need time and a red shirt year to develop his athletic skills and physical strength if he is to eventually compete for a starting position. At this time he projects more as a non BCS player rather then a potential starter at the major level of competition.

  4. Anytime a high school kid draws comparisons to a talent like Tim Tebow, it hurts when you see him commit to a school not named Nebraska.

     

    Regardless, Tyler Gabbert is our QB for this class...now let's continue to go to work on Curtis Carter!

     

    I'm from Florida and I cannot stand the hype Tebow gets. He is average QB at best. There were strong rumors that both Cameron Newton and their current second string QB are better talents than him (which was shown this spring game when he got out-performed in the spring game by the second string qb). He's not even the best player on the team according to Dan Muellen (he thinks Harvin was). He is just the face of a program with a Dominate defense, and world class skill players on offense.

     

    However he does do something great, and that is throw his arms up in air and scream yeah.

     

    :rant

     

    But you are right lets go after Carter.

  5. On the LSU boards they had a report on how he did at the camps. I'll paraphrase because I think the clipping Rivals pay info.

     

    But according to the analysis, they said that Carter could change at the drop of a dime; QBs had hard times throwing to up because he was so fast; and he had very good hands. However, Carter did have problems with man coverage and they said he needed to bulk up. The last tidbit was that he was all but guaranteed a 4th star in the next evaluation period.

  6. JULY 5, 2009. PREP STAR

    HAROLD MOBLEY, ATH, 6-4, 226, 4.55, CORONA (ROOSEVELT), CALIFORNIA

     

    Harold has offers from Nebraska, UNLV, Nevada and Colorado

     

    “Nebraska saw my film and I know they like me as a defensive end and I didn’t even have any defensive end tape when they offered me. They also like me as a tight end too.” Mobley said

    Huskers’ Are The Leaders

     

    “I like Nebraska it’s a football school and that’s where I can see myself. Nebraska is on top (leader) right now. I’m willing to leave the area I don’t want to stay in California, I will go to Nebraska. I’ve been talking to a lot of people and doing my research, Nebraska is football oriented school and that’s what I like.” Mobley said

     

    Likes NU’S Graduation Rates

     

    “I text Coach J P (Papuchis) and also e-mail him and I’ve talked to Carl Pelini,” says Mobley, “ I like Coach J P he talks about the school like how Nebraska has a 95 percent graduation rates of the football players. Like the GPA of the football players averages a 3.0. Just lets me know the good things about the school like that.”

     

    “Carl talked to me about visiting, when I’m coming down. I plan on going sometime in July. I will be with my uncle Mark, that’s who I live with.”

     

    Mobley said

     

    When Will Mobley Commit To NU

     

    “I still want to wait and see all the other colleges and see what they have to offer. See if I like the environment. I plan on not waiting the last minute.” Mobley said

     

    Hears From Colorado

     

    “Colorado told me I can come over there and play early we’ll see what happens about that. I don’t hear from Colorado as much as I do with Nebraska. I checked out Colorado out on the Internet it’s a nice campus, they always have nice weather out there.” Mobley said

     

    “I hear from Oregon a lot,” says Mobley, “I hear from Arizona and Fresno. I might get an offer from them later they want to watch some of my senior film first.”

     

    Oregon And Arizona Slow Playing

     

    “I have family in Oregon so I like the area and they have a good offense. I get a lot of mail from them. They are always telling me to consider their program. I really am but they won’t make a move (offer).” Mobley said

     

    “Arizona comes to the school every once in a while,” says Mobley, “I like Arizona it’s not too far away from home and I grew up always watching them play on TV. Arizona always tells me we will get you an offer. I haven’t received it yet so I’m not going to wait around.”

  7. DILLON BONNELL, OL, 6-4, 285, 5, HIGHLANDS RANCH (THUNDERRIDGE), COLORADO

     

    Dillon Bonnell committed to Stanford. Dillon had several other schools to consider who made offers Syracuse, Tennesse, Nebraska, California, Colorado, Washington and others. Dillion make unofficial visits to Nebraska and California.

     

    Stanford Had Everything

     

    “I thought it (Stanford) was a great school. They offered everything athletically and academically that I was looking for. I thought they (Stanford) were really on the rise and really making great strides and giving every opportunity to their athletes. There is no other school that rivals Stanford academically.” Bonnell said

    Stanford’s Professors Sealed The Deal

     

    “I really enjoyed talking with the professors their how they prepare you to do the best academically. I thought that really stood out and just the way coaches are turning everything around and make Stanford again one of the best football programs in the country. I also liked the area kind of reminds me where I’m like now” Bonnell said

     

    “They (Stanford Coaches) were very excited to have me and their class is shaping up to be great and the future at Stanford is looking very bright.” Bonnell said

     

    Promising Things At Stanford

     

    “Stanford has a very broad spectra of players that they are recruiting. Looking at the commits for the 2010 class they are from everywhere. They are really extending the horizon and it will make an impact in the PAC 10 and BCS.” Bonnell said

     

    “I thought their (California) campus was great. When I met with the coaches they are really do great things to better the facilities and make them a power but Stanford was a better fit. I thought the connection with the coaches was better.” Bonnell said

     

    Nebraska Was Amazing

     

    “I really like their (Nebraska) school their football facilities was amazing. I’ve never seen football facilities like that and I just thought Stanford offered just a little bit more.” Bonnell said

     

    “Nebraska has two weight rooms, two places to eat, huge academic facilities but facilities don’t win games it’s what you put into it. They do have great facilities at Stanford and I really feel it’s what you make of it. At Stanford I can do everything possible.” Bonnell added

    Pretty sure little to no chance with any of them. I think it is significant though that we are making in roads into these regions, and that top prospects are still somewhat considering us.

     

    But if we did land one most likely it would be bernard

     

    Well it is good to have our name out there in SEC country. You really think Bernard eh? I like his stats and all, but I hope he would be the only RB we take if he somehow wants to come to NE. I know we have a long wait on the Green kid from Texas, but I like that kid. And Jeff Luc...seems like he has a slow 40 time compared to some of the other guys we are trying to get at LB. I like guys who have more of a ten yard burst more at linebacker and are smart football players, so I don't like to judge a guy based solely on 40 times. Just something that stood out to me, but who knows maybe the other guys have skewed times and maybe his time was somewhat slower due to unknown reasons and he could be faster than that. It's nice to see the #2 SE guy looking at us though.

     

    Yea, I wouldn't put to much stock his 40 time. He looks as though he has enough speed, good range, great short area burst, and the list goes on. My only concern with him is his level of competition. I believe he does not play against 5A or 6A competition. However, he still looks legit and reminds me a lot of this years LB recruit

    The only reason why I say bernard is because a lot of the other competition has their RB or maybe pursuing RBs that are higher on their boards.

     

    But I would love it if boliever was right. That would be a mean combo with Luc and Fehoko (who we seem to have a chance with).

    Mysterious 'sewer creature' sparks curiosity

    bryozoan

     

    Posted: Jul. 1, 2009

    Updated: Jul. 2, 2009

     

    Raleigh, N.C. — It's reminiscent of something from the 1958 science-fiction film, "The Blob" – a beating, pulsating, mysterious, slimy mass that has grabbed widespread attention across the Internet.

     

    And it's growing and living in the sewer below Cameron Village in Raleigh.

     

     

    A 2-minute video of the clusters, taken in April, was posted onto YouTube a few weeks ago and has quickly made its way onto other social networking Web sites. The broadcast industry publication TV Week ranked it Wednesday as the No. 1 viral video on the Web.

     

    Speculation on YouTube as to what it might be ranges from a marketing ploy to promote a new alien movie to undocumented life form to a sewer monster.

     

    But a sewer monster, it is not.

     

    The city of Raleigh says the video – of a 6-inch sanitary sewer line – was taken in April during an inspection of a privately maintained sewer line in Cameron Village.

     

    Ed Buchan, an environmental coordinator with the city's Public Utilities Department, says the mass is believed to be tubifex worms, which form clusters or colonies of about a half-inch to 1-inch in diameter.

     

    Also known as "sludge worms," they are normally found in sediment of ponds and are sold as fish food in both live and dried forms.

     

    Thomas Kwak, a biology professor at North Carolina State University's Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, however, says the so-called monster is actually a cluster of invertebrates called bryozoan, which are commonly found in both the sea and fresh water environments.

     

    It's unclear how they got into the sewer system, but Kwak said it isn't surprising. The bryozoan feed off bacteria and thrive in cold, dark environments. Those in the video are smaller than a fist, but could grow as large as a watermelon, he said.

     

    "These organisms are completely harmless," Kwak said. "It's another interesting aspect of nature that we don’t' get to see every day."

     

    Buchan says that because the worm-like creatures don't pose a threat to the city's water quality, the city isn't requiring York Properties, which manages the system and Cameron Village, to remove them.

     

    York did not return calls seeking comment, and it's unclear if it plans to remove the colonies.

  13. It is frustrating that some of the top kids are not visiting...however we do have some really good kids that have given their verbal. It will continue to gain momentum, but you cannot expect Bo to be pulling kids away from USC, Florida, etc... in his second year.

    As stated above, if NU has another stellar year it will help with bringing in the top guys.

     

    Bo does not seem to be a guy that is up for settling. I get the feeling that they are going for the big fish on their board, now whether their beliefs of big fish coincide with the recruiting sites is up for debate. More than anything the staff is being very selective this year, and sometimes that means passing up on good talent for great talent.

     

    But the slowness of this recruiting cycle is frustrating.

  14. JULY 2, 2009. PREP STAR

    MARQUISE HILL, ATH, 6-0, 165, ST. LOUIS (TRINITY CATHOLIC), MISSOURI

     

    “I’m committed (verbal) to Missouri but I’m going to take some visits. I want to make sure I made the right choice. I have talked to Missouri coaches about it. There is two other schools that are interested in me Arkansas and Minnesota.” Hill said

     

    Hill Likes SEC Competition

     

    “I like Arkansas because you get to play against the bigs. I think it’s good (SEC) because you play with the best. You’re playing the Florida’s and the Georgia’s teams like that and my cousin Ronnie Wingo just went down there. It would be nice to play together.” Hill said

     

    “I’m going down there (Arkansas) July 29.” Hill said, “It’s a good fit depending what side of the ball I play on. Arkansas is recruiting me as a wide receiver and kick returner. Arkansas coaches said if I want to play defense I can play D.”

     

    “I like Arkansas’ offense real good,” says Hill, “Missouri’s offense I like it but it can be a down fall. You really don’t see a lot of their receivers in the NFL that are successful.”

     

    “Minnesota Been On Me Since Day One”

     

    “Minnesota is doing a real good job of recruiting me,” Hill said, “I think the coaches there have really been consistent recruiting me. That’s what I like about them. They have been on me since day one.”

     

    “I haven’t been there (Minnesota) I will take my trip July 9. I can see the place there, I can really see if I like the place or whatever.” Hill said

     

    Nebraska Not Out Of It

     

    “I got a visit coming to Nebraska soon,” Hill said, “I’m still interested in Nebraska since Gabbert and Terry committed to them. Me and Tyler throw every week, I catch the ball from Tyler I know him very well. I met Keeston Terry on the 7 on 7 day I’m definitely interested in Nebraska.”

     

    “I talk to coach Gilmore (Nebraska) a lot and my mom talks to him. Coach Gilmore is a straight forward guy, when you talk to him he will tell you the things to work on. I talk to Coach Watson sometimes too. I like Nebraska’s offense it’s where I can benefit from, that’s good.” Hill said

    DecisionTime

     

    “Once I take at least two or three visits get to every school and the talk to the coaching staff. I’m going take my visits when the season is over with.” Hill

  15. I get the feeling that we may get 1 or 2 commits before the season begins. The staff seems to be very selective of who they want this year. But I think on the defensive side the staff is waiting for the season to begin to reel in some big fish. On the defensive side of the ball we should be legit this year, I just hope the recruits take notice.

  16. Urell Johnson has reached double-digit offers

     

    By Sonny Shipp

    Louisiana Recruiting Analyst

    Posted Jul 1, 2009

     

     

    O. Perry Walker in New Orleans, La. produces major college football talent as much as any other school in South Louisiana. The Chargers have a few prospects that are piling on the offers for 2010 and one is cornerback Urell Johnson.

     

    Urell Johnson made his mark on the field last season for O. Perry Walker and established himself as a lockdown defender when he picked off three passes and recorded 40 tackles.

     

     

     

    Johnson (5-11, 175, 4.5) gives himself that label and it seems that there are a number of college coaches who agree with him.

     

     

     

    “I can match up with the team’s best receiver and my coaches feel good about putting me on an island or putting me at safety,” Johnson said. “That’s what coaches have said they like about me the most.”

     

     

     

    The scholarship offers that Johnson has from the likes of Tennessee, Virginia, Baylor, Colorado, Nebraska, Southern Miss, Texas Tech, Louisiana Tech, Virginia, Kansas State and Utah indicates that there are plenty of suitors that would like to land the three-star cornerback prospect.

     

     

     

    One other school of interest on Johnson’s radar is LSU and he feels that he impressed the coaches when he made his way to Baton Rouge in June for LSU’s camp.

     

     

     

    “I worked out for Coach [Ron] Cooper [defensive backs coach] and he said he liked what he saw and that I did good,” Johnson said. “He said they wanted to offer me. But I never got the chance to talk much with Coach [Les] Miles while I was there.”

     

     

     

    Johnson hopes to get more information on the status of his offer during the coming weeks and months when he makes a return trip to Baton Rouge – either unofficially or officially.

     

     

     

    That will be one of many trips that the country’s 79th ranked cornerback prospect will have taken over the course of the recruiting process.

     

     

     

    “I went to LSU’s camp then I just got back from Virginia,” Johnson said. “I enjoyed being up in Virginia and being with the players and coaches. [Grad Assistant] Coach [Devon] Fitzsimmons is from the New Orleans area so me and him bonded real fast. Then I met with [head] Coach [Al] Groh before I left and he just let me know that they were holding a spot for me. That was good to hear because I don’t want to rush into this decision.”

     

     

     

    Johnson has taken his time with sifting through the schools that have expressed an interest in him and at this point in time he doesn’t seem close to making a decision.

     

     

     

    “You go to places like LSU and Virginia and see everything then you wonder what other schools have,” explained Johnson. “I still feel like I’m wide open with all of this.

     

     

     

    “LSU is the hometown team and they got it going on over there, but I want to see what other schools have to offer when I take my official visits. I want to see who all offers and who really wants me then I’ll begin to focus on certain schools.”

  17. ESPN grade of 79

     

    Porter is a defensive tackle prospect who displays the ability to be disruptive in the trenches. He has good size. He could stand to add some bulk, but with his frame it would seem he could easily play in the 290-300 pound range. He gets off the ball well. He can be tough versus the run and is physical at the point of attack. Comes out of his stance and stays in a pretty good football position when engaging a blocker to maximize power. Does a good job with his hands and can create separation and shed. Does a good job of reading blocks and getting hands on blockers. Flashes the ability to get into the backfield and stay square and make a play on the ball. He displays a good motor and pursues to the ball and while he does not have great speed he can offer some support on the perimeter when he hustles. Displays adequate short-area change-of-direction skills. He is a solid tackler, but can over-run the play at times. As a pass rusher he will work to be active with his hands to try and club or rip by. He comes across as a kid who is active as a pass rusher and can supply pressure. Porter has some tools which should allow him to be a tough defender in the trenches. He has good size and a physical nature and displays a solid understanding of how to play the position and is a good prospect.

  18. Stanford is going to have one helluva 2010 class.

    didn't see this one coming, thought he was ours oh well. but stanford is putting together something special. can't really argue with these kids, going to a school on the rise and get a world class education. hard to compete against.

  19. The advantage we have over ND is that they typically don't go for dual threat QBs. Watson has shown that running qbs can definately fit our system. I personally belive that he will be ours if we still pursue him. That would be an amazing QB squad on paper with Green, Spano, Gabbert, and Robinson.
