One of the downsides of living in southern california is that you have to deal with seeing UCLA and USC on Fox Sports. Anyways i was watching a Ucla football insider show and they were interviewing one of the assistant coaches. There was one particular scene that really stood out to me. He was in his office studying film and when the camera shot the tv, guess what team he was watching cut up film from???..Our very own Nebraska Cornhuskers. Now we don't play UCLA til 2012 so i came up with reasons on why he was watching us.

1.Ucla is already worried about us and knows that beating Nebraska will be the highlight of their coaching staffs resume

2.They're ditching their whole defensive scheme and are just gonna do their best to copy us and by doing that they can hopefully stop someone

3.But all jokes aside, if i had to make an educated guess, im sure it was from last year's kansas st. game and they were seeing how we were effective in stopping/containing Daniel Thomas.

either way, it made me laugh

this was a bad call on my part, thought we had a chance

I believe the GEM of this class right now is Daimion Stafford. Even though there is a great chance he might be a highly ranked JUCO player, he still is rarely mentioned. if you look at his tape, it is extremely impressive(aren't they all) and he plans on enrolling by spring. I'm willing to go as far as saying he will be a starter next year with P.J. My reason for it is; He's a JUCO and they usually have a easier transition. He will come in being one of the most physically gifted athletes (size and speed) and he will get a full spring and fall. what i like is that he will become an immediate impact for a secondary that will lose a lot after next year. (if everything goes right academically of course) The only guy that i see possibly getting in his way is corey cooper but Daimion is being brought in for a reason..to play right away (didnt mention harvey jackson because i think he'll be the guy behind PJ)

im sure with the younger defensive backs, its gonna be hard to stand out when you have 4 all americans ahead of you (yeah i said it)...but i think we'll be ok, although next year we will be sorta thin at that position

i believe dijon washington was moved to corner and looks really good.

Mike Mcneill was talking about him?

The way he conducts himself and has already taken a leadership role with his future teammates is amazing. He's gonna have no trouble taking command of the huddle cause everyone will respect him so much. he hasnt signed yet so i dont want to get too crazy but in my opinion, he already stands out more than Bubba, Brion, Cody, Tmagic, Etc. at least from a leadership stand point....and he also runs a 4.4! wooooooooo

cool, he's the heart and soul of this class (and maybe the most talented overall) id hate to have drama with him especially how much of a diehard N fan hes been

why does scout always make things sound bad?..new article,,"Solid?"

Another possibility is that he's committed and it's been accepted, but he hasn't called to tell Rivals yet.

 

Which would make it the opposite of the Admire situation, where the kid does apparently tell Rivals without the staff really accepting his commitment.

your guess is as good as mine, but a kid not telling rivals when he can is a little hard to believe and i guess Scout has something on him. but i dont know if they got a hold of him

well dead period or not, when someone wants to commit, it gets out one way or another.

but then again, i guess its only truly confirmed if the staff accepts it

I'm sick of Oregon. Besides Nike and their fun yet soft Offense, i dont see a point, they usually just hang around but dont scare anyone. My dad and i cannot stand their uni's. My best friend is a Duck fan and everytime we play NCAA he has to always change their uniforms to match or look absolutely ridiculous. We always tell him, Oregon has no tradition, Keeping the same Uni's (with slight mods every year) is what all the traditional powers do...his answer.."Oregons Tradition is having no Tradition" lol so sad.

well if its a communication problem then forget it but here's my theory if its not. Nebraska is looking to take 1 LB(maybe two) so if thats the case, logic says go after the best available, (Sarao). Im not sure that he's been accepted academically to Stanford yet, so they still might be looking into that option. Santos is listed pretty small for his position and maybe he didnt pass the eye test (Admire). Maybe the scholarship is only available if Sarao is given the ok to go to Stanford. I know Keith Lewis is also another option as well. For there to be some sort of mis communication is kinda fishy especially when it comes to recruiting. If they want you, they get a hold of you.

im under the impression that this is another Admire situation.

hmmm.....

This is taking a lot longer than i thought. possible issue? (Admire scenario)

teaser on scout about him? this is what we need.

 

mostly about him getting his grades up this summer. thought Nebraska was a run only team, did some hw and wants to officially visit. also mentions recruiting QB's and liking our class.

 

 

you look at certain kids at rivals and they are 4 star kids top 200 guys and you have only a few offers... makes you wonder whats goin on sometimes........

yeah, when that happens it indicates the grade issue but since there is a huge need at WR, it wouldnt hurt taking a chance on a kid with his skill set. unless something better comes along of course. should we start callin this one the Braylon/Bell situation already?

teaser on scout about him? this is what we need.

I hate sounding like a creep but they're all exchanging their xbox live gamer tags, You're starting to see The "Nebraska Way" forming with kids who live all across the country, They're all really close and I believe this will be the class that puts us over the top cause they have more chemistry than any other recruiting class in the country and im willing to bet. These guys sense it too.

Im just gonna call a commit right here and i believe Anthony will be N. Tyler Moore and him interact alot on FB, also with the other OL recruits, Personally i think he's just waiting for his visit and will decide then. Now it would be weird to know off FB but Im pretty young myself and im actually cool with BOBO AKA Q. Enunwa.

he reminds me a lot of dejon gomes. im sure when they saw him, thats all they could think of. i like this guy a lot

Im over the ranting, i welcome him N and im excited to see what he does, lets just all enjoy these kids making the choice to come play for us and ill be fine

Im over the whole ranting about him and Bouzos, i welcome them N with no complaints.

I didnt see D1 talent cause they got killed by a team who got only had one legitimate d1 player. i mean how hard is that to understand? im only saying all this because unlike any of you i see who these guys play and know what type of players play here. nebraska offered him and thats why he's getting looked at..its the same old story. when lazarri got offered, all of the sudden every coach felt like a genius and looked at him but it was too late. My first impression is that our coaches didnt do their homework and didnt look at the fine print. they saw hard hitter from california...didnt see that this kid plays in a terrible division, finally played a team in a higher division and got smoked and got thrown all over. i mean cmon if you knew what i knew, how could you not have doubt? and about their conference in california....its a joke. to even downplay it by saying its not the top is a joke. sorry to break your heart on that one. the fact is, there are plenty of safeties who are worthy of a scholarship and have fewer question marks and this is what we get. kinda disapointed but then again im not on the coaching staff. most of you guys sound like you are or know so much cause none of you guys are asking questions or seem to care cause whatever the coaching staff does is correct. in my opinion thats very closed minded and ignorant. i cant speak for any kid in any other state because i dont live their but this guy is in my backyard and that gives me the edge. but if this kid gets offered then why not thatDaniel Davie kid in nebraska? hes way faster than this kid and has better measurables. but wait cause nebraska's perception is that they dont have legitimate d1 talent throughout the state and you cannot project those kids..well in division 5 and lower in california, its the same way..the talent level drops quickly and with that offer to be thrown out so quickly told me they didnt evaluate every aspect.

 

you are not evaluating the correct aspects of recruiting.

 

YOU DO NOT RECRUIT MANY PLAYERS THAT ARE GOING TO WALK ONTO CAMPUS AND START ON DEFENSE DURING THEIR FIRST PRACTICE!

 

i understand what you are saying about him not looking like a D1 safety to YOU but do you honestly think that you know more about playing the safety position than does the staff and The University of Nebraska? imma answer that one for you: no you do not. typically players are not at optimal size coming out of high school. players also do not usually even have all of the fundamentals down coming out of high school.

 

you cannot expect a 5 star recruit from every one of our 20 or so recruits each year and to do so is as you say "ignorant".

 

if you want all 4 and 5 star players then by all means start following Texas, USC, or Florida because im sure they will do it for ya!!

 

 

Ok Bo Pelini? how do you evaluate talent. cause i guess getting thrown on by a better team with less d1 talent is not apart of the process? yes he's only one guy but besides the hit, he did nothing. top dogs show up every game. and thank you for putting words in my mouth cause everything you said that you implied coming out of my mouth didnt. as far as the size goes, i didnt say he had no size, i mean he's no corey cooper but hes not off by a lot. and next time when you mention three teams to compare nebraska with, dont choose the teams that have won 5 out of the last ten national championships, you only made my point, so actually thanks

 

me thinks you need to work on your reading comprehension skills before i will continue to chat with you. (ie. didnt compare nebraska to anyone. re-read.)

 

haha read your last sentence.."if you want all 4 and 5 star players then by all means start following Texas, USC, or Florida because im sure they will do it for ya!!" Using three other teams in your argument, automatically makes you comparing them. You're referring Nebraska does not get the 4-5 star players those teams do. which is COMPARING. all your argument did was was strengthen mine, you brought up the last 5 national champions besides LSU.

 

ok fine. however i am not comparing them the way that you imply.

 

i see absolutely no way that i strengthened your argument. in fact i would contend that your argument is severely flawed.

 

the following is a diagram of how you think:

 

 

i didnt even take the time to even read what you posted up there cause its sad. but are you serious? i mean really? you have no idea how you have strengthened my argument?? well. you implied that nebraska doesnt need to recruit like Texas,Florida, or USC by saying to go follow them if you want 4-5 stars. well it turns out those teams have been the most dominant in this decade because of all that great recruiting. So even though you didnt realize it, you did, big time. thanks.

 

 

Vince you really think the only reason they do so well is because they recruit 4-5 star players? Do you really think Kiffin is going to go into USC and dominate the way Caroll did? No way. Yeah recruiting really helps a lot. Get good talent and its easier to be good, but look at Callahan. He had great recruiting and yet couldn't coach. Look at Kiffin at Tennessee. Obviously he didn't wait around long enough to use his recruits, but Tennessee didn't have bad players and yet he couldn't coach them worth a darn. Rick Nieuhisel (spell?) at UCLA. He has always been a great recruiter, but can't coach... want proof look at what he did to Colorado and what he is about to do to UCLA. A couple great classes for him so far, but I am willing to be he coaches those kids into losing seasons and probably NCAA sanctions because of how he recruited them there. My point being you don't have to have 4-5 star recruits all the time to win. It really helps, but in the end the coaching is what gets the job done.

Ok i think you're missing the point again. We havent won anything. We could use more 4-5 star players and now is the time to get them because we are on their radar, im not saying it has to be all filled up with all americans. Callahan couldnt do anything with the players but he sure as hell set up bo and staff nicely, if you really look at it, Bill brought in a lot of studs. Just couldnt do much with them. and the fact that Bo can do somehting with them, makes it more exciting and speeds up the process if he can get high caliber prospects
