EZ-E

Wanting to be closer to home is the only draw that I can see for him to go to FIU.

Call me a homer, but with the blackshirts performance Saturday night I think he is N reguardless.

No he isn't, he really didn't have the opportunity to miss out. Staff cooled on him big time. That is what I have heard as well. Correct me if I am wrong Cave but the staff kind of sent the nonverbal message that he wasnt what we thought he was when we originally recruited him.

I think he could be the best QB we are recruiting in '11 based on that film. Hes a TRUE dual threat QB. The thing that I like about him the most is that he is a QB that is very athletic not just an athlete playing QB if that makes sense to anyone other than me. =)

I agree totally about Hagg. If he would have turned around and found the football on the Pass Interference call in the endzone he could have picked that ball off. The coaches believe that they have something special in PJ Smith. He got some good experience this year as well. I hope Lavonte David (assuming that we get him from everything that I have read) has a smooth transition to big time CFB. He will be on campus in January (again, assuming we get him) ready to learn our system. He is an upgrade in terms of athleticism from most of the other backers that we have on our roster.

I got to thinking today about the professional potential that all of these guys have. List some guys that you think wont be able to play at the next level. Give it a shot

Wide Reciever

Hes getting an in home visit by non other than Coach Bo Pelini this week. His dad is a huge Pelini fan and is strongly urging Curtis to go to NU from what I have read. I still like our chances with this one.

Rome WILL be a DT. Our DL is a position of need in the future so that is why we have hit it so hard this recruiting year.

Yeah cuz Bama doesnt throw the ball either. Julio Jones is completely irrelevant in that Bama offense cuz all they do is run right? You left this following thought out : <<There will still be room for a reciever with exceptional talent if we can find someone to throw the ball accurately>> No recruit could be impressed with our QB play. Before Julio Jones catches the ball there has to be someone who gets it closer to him than the other team's D back. Our QBs have not shown they can do that. If they can't we will try to pound the ball even more. Blocking wide recievers are essential to a good running team. Not sure that Carter is going to buy into that, but maybe he will. We will be fine. It all starts up front. Barney is going to be fine at OL coach. We need an injection of talent and depth on that OL and that will open up the playbook.

Yep, I'd take him if we strikeout on Cooper or Hill. Either way I'm not too worried - he could be a good player for us but I won't lose any sleep if he goes elsewhere. With the defensive performance we through up there tonight I think Cooper is ours.

OO, Austin Hill and Corey Cooper are the top priorities I believe.

Id take him as long as he doesnt eat up Austin Hill's spot. I think hopes are high for Cooper as well so that is our safety of the future so Terry isnt needed there.

I have a feeling Papuchis is on this. They know how the game is played, I think that when in home visits start that he will be solid again and he will realize why he committed to us.

Another plus is that Rome and Guy will both be on campus in January. Can you imagine if we got OO to commit? Two to three years from now our DL would be head and shoulders above any other one in the nation.

TCU a one year wonder??? This will be their 6th top 25 finish in the last 8 seasons, all under Patterson. And if all goes well their third top 10 finish. Dont kid yourself. Just because the MW has bad bowl tie-ins. And as for MU. Honestly look at it. Take of the red glasses. If you are a WR and had no ties to NE where whould you go?? A place that puts WR in the pros and gives you lots of opportunites to get the ball or NE. MU will have their 3rd straight WR drafted this spring and add in another 4 or 5 over the past 3 years that have gotten tryouts and camp invites. And quit acting like MU is some scrub school. Its 66,000 a game, not like 20,000. Incase you hadnt noticed nearly every school in the big 12 has facilities that rival NE. Mizzou's are right on par with NE in that regard. You rattle off coaching and famility atmosphere, but MU has both of those. And a pretty good rep in regards to them both. You are obviously a fan of your team, and thats just fine. But obviously Nebraska isnt all that or you would lock up all the top recruits with ease... But Curtis, whether he decides to stick with NU or go to Missouri, or another school for that matter is looking out for him. He wants what is best for his career. He is just a kid that wants the best fit. I'm sure he will do well where ever he goes. Would I like to have him at MU, yeah. But i wont fault him for picking another school. SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont read into this at all. We were in on this kid WAY before anyone else. He is going to be a husker. I have full confidence that he will be. It is natural for 18 year old kids to feel uneasy about their decisions. His family is very supportive of him becoming a husker as his dad was decked out in NU gear for Curtis's unofficial for the K-State game. Dont worry about this. Papuchis will soon quiet all of this. Pinkle is the new version of Bill Snyder. Will build a good program for Mizzou standards (which were not high when he came in) but from now on he will be 2nd rate in the North and never have you competing on a national level. That patty cake defense you guys call football in Mizzou will never get you anywhere. If he wanted to go to a program that is going to slide BACK to irrelevance then sure MU is the place, but if he wanted to compete for Big 12 titles NU is the place

I dont know about that. I think if the Bernard kid wants to run the ball that he shouldnt go to Notre Dame if Kelly gets that gig. Not saying he wont, but in Kelly's offense they really dont run the ball. The thing that it will do is that it will turn more kids considering ND away because they are a mess right now.

Never underestimate Papuchis

Thank you very much.

Sorry. I am fairly new to the board. What do you mean by tags? Thanks in advance.

How do you put a picture into your signature???? Thanks in advance

500 miles surrounding Lincoln that they like to hit hard recruiting-wise. We have had quite a bit of success this year doing this. Does anyone see any deviation from this in the future? The only thing that I can see is that we start to really put the clamps down on this area and be able to compete with the OUs and UTs for kids from Texas, still pulling a few out of Cali, and the kids from Florida. The area that I can see us start to really take off in is Louisianna. With LSU being down (there has even been talk that Les Miles may be on the hot seat) I can see us getting a few more from the Bayou. Thoughts?

Heard the most about Demien. I really hope we can sway him N!!!
