Right now we have a bit of a log jam at RB. Even with Marque MCCray gone, we're pretty stacked. I think that there are some other issues with the RB situation that need to be considered here. Lucky is great on film. He's Hyped. He's on NCAA 2006. Jackson is also all of these things. But neither is proven! Hence, let the battle begin! These coaches have to see this guy and really make an assessment. Yes, we need him as a DB, but he needs a real look, because you never know.
I remember back in the day when we were real thin at quarterback and NEEDED this guy named Tony Veland to guide the ship because QB was thin. When all was said and done, however, all Veland did was play hella safety and blast QB's in McBride's psycho 4-3 blitz packages. My point is that in the current situation, as in the past, guys haven't always ended up doing what we were COUNTING ON them to do and be when they came in. In fairness, Veland's situation was slightly different with an injury and a guy named T FRAZ. However, if there is a spot on the field for this guy, I just hope that the coaches figure it out quickly and use his talents immediately. Which leads me to my final concern . . . .
I think that it's most important that we keep the Luckys and Jacksons of this class happy. Not in an NBA sort of way, but we need to make sure to get all of these guys a fair shake so that they stay here to realize their Husker destiny. I'd hate to see either one of those guys (or Cody Glenn) lose hope and transfer because we couldn't find them a place and the confidence rapidly enough.
