Couldn't it wait till next year? I trust the staff, but Turner is only going to be a junior. Does Evans, or Walley play slot?

WE NEED IT!!

More insinuations.... Sarcasm is fine, but your comment was one that would be made by a 16 year old girl, with a C average. It was telling, because you were obviously offended by me questioning of your own assertions (hypocrisy). I'm not going to continue to argue with you over signs of intelligence, or lack there of. Neither you, or that discussion is worth my time. Now, on with the conversation. You're going to penalize a coach for having the ability to bring in superior talent? There isn't a top flight coach out there that doesn't have that ability. Now, does Saban manage to accumulate better talent than most everyone else? Sure he does, but in my opinion that is part of being considered an excellent coach in the college game. I understand what you're saying. Is he the best X's and O's guy? Probably not, but when I turn on an Alabama game I see a well-disciplined team, who is confident, aware, and just damn good.... Personally, I don't think he is the greatest coach ever, but he deserves to be included in the conversation based off of his accomplishments alone.... I think you and I differ on what characteristics make up a "great" coach.... I'm not offended at all. In fact I enjoy a little verbal sparring. (but to be clear, you were the one who felt compelled on the basis of one question to situate someone else on the intellect scale..........16 year old girl c student?). And, any cursory reading of this board offers multiple examples of insinuations, sarcasms, etc. I guess I was under the impression the purpose of the board was to opine and question and dialogue. In any case, I actually agree with your last two statements about not being the greatest coach (yet); but should be in the conversation at some point. We probably don't disagree much on the characteristics making up a great coach. I just tend to leaven my opinion with the fact that he has had tremendous talent to work with. Enjoy the day......... I think we might differ than, on whether that amount of talent should at all tarnish, or alter his perception/standing as a great coach.... Enjoy your day as well....

I would hope with one glance at our WR depth chart that CB is where the kid would want to start.... That is where the playing time will be.... Not to mention that's where HE wants to be. Didn't see that

No way kid! You're not high-profile enough to broadcast your commitment!

Mike Schaefer‏@mikejschaefer Spoke with Devin Scott after his Nebraska visit. Didn't indicate one way or another, but I think NU is sitting good: Take this kid, and let Veii go.... What was this kid's 40-time...

Bold prediction.... But I like it!!

Being able to get the talent on campus is part of what it takes to be a great college coach.... All things included (ability, recruiting, wins, championships) I think he already is one of the best college coaches ever, and could end up being the best.... (Now, to your ego) I agree with you on one point, there are a number of coaches that could do what he does with the kind of talent that he has.... Not all, but there are some. For the record, I do think that Pelini is one of them... How did Saban do at Michigan St when he had talent more in line with his competitors? T.O. schooled him big time.......... That is your argument? Nebraska is Nebraska, and Michigan St. was/is Michigan St..... I don't see how anyone can make any kind of legitimate argument that Saban isn't one of the best coaches ever, and in my opinion it is crazy to even try.... The man has 4 national titles! That's two more than Paterno, and Bowden; and one more than Osborne.... To pretend, and try to convince yourself that Saban isn't one of the best college coaches ever is crazy..... It wasn't an argument. It was a question (so indicated by the tell-tale question mark at the end of the sentence). No one is pretending to convince anyone of anything unless you are reading more into this than intended. But to the salient point, do you disagree T.O. schooled Saban? Comments/weak attempts at humor like that, are usually signs of those lacking intelligence...nice.... You insinuated a lot in your "question", and I won't argue that T.O. didn't school Saban, but look at where they were at those points in their career. Most people, in their careers, evolved to a point that they are much better at what they do than when the originally started. Saban, unarguably, is a much better coach now than he was then....

Michael Bruntz‏@michaelbruntz Interesting. Dwayne Johnson's high school teammate flipped to Arkansas this morning. http://arkansas.247sports.com/Article/Bellaire-Texas-running-back-Denzell-Evans-commits-to-Arkansas-114644 … #SigningDay

Isn't it a rumor at this point? Or is he going to ArKansas...

I understand, and height isn't a bad thing. Those Seattle Seahawks corners are huge and they look mean....

Agreed. The trigger was pulled on his visit but family strongly encouraged him to look at Arky. Well that is kind of discouraging. Not a good track record with recruits who are being tugged the other way by the familly. I'm going to try to keep this positive though. We have to buck the trend sometime. Why not now? After all he did give his vist a 15. Sounds like he loved it here enough to possibly go against his families wishes. Come on Dwayne. Don't run away from your feelings! (said in my best Chris Farley voice) Westerkamp did go against his mom's will. However, we haven't had as much with Texas boys. See Tevin Mitchell, who ironically chose Arkansas. Ironically enough as well, Westerkamp's family now loves it in Lincoln. Who doesn't?

Understandable. I have no problem if this move is to have Veii play slot or ST, but I would be very confused if we recruited him as a DB. Exactly, this is why he won't start as a CB. He may prefer to play CB but he said he will do what's best for the team. Also, not every "CB" is a true corner. Ciante Evans has carved out a nice spot as our nickel back and he's only 5-11, 185. We definitely would rather have bigger guys but so would everyone else. Of Rivals' Top 75 corners this year, only 14 are taller than 6-0. Height isn't nearly as important to me on a Corner, compared to physicality.... We need physical CB's....

Since when do we recruit a kid to play special teams? I agree that we need better athletes on the field on ST, but I wouldn't recruit a guy for that reason....

Agreed man. I like him better at CB too. Our WR corps is pretty stocked right now. The last two guys we took that could've been on either side of the ball are both gonna be there anyway (Moore and Dixon)... CB is one position where if you're physical and smart you can make up for a lot of deficiencies in speed IF you have a good safety behind you. I wouldn't mind bringing this kid into the fold to further restock the D backfield along with Martinez. I guess I agree with you though. Could we do better next year? Yeah, probably. I guess for me a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Especially since you never know what's going to happen or who will bust. Look at Aaron Green, Klach, TyMoore... One of my all-time favorite sayings....
