Great job by Bummer!

Again.. my question isnt on closing all recruits... It is about closing the bigs.

 

His offensive style is going to be fast paced I assume... I wonder if he has a hard time selling that to big guys because in his offense it wont run through the center.

 

The 5 and 4 might be more of a defensive presence.

 

That is my question, can he close big men?

I think it's harder to get bigs because there are less of them. You have a lot more competition from established programs for those kind of players. If you miss on a PG or Wing you still have options. For the big fella's that's not necessarily true. So I don't think it has to do with scheme or style. I think it has to do with numbers and winning. Facilities definitely help. Just my opinion.

Dang. I was counting on this game. Huskers have their work cut out for them tomorrow.

I read an article that said his type of injury doesn't carry a lot of future risk so that's good news for him. I am going to guess he will go in the 2nd round (pick number 43) to the Twins. Time will tell.

That'd be terrible (for NU), but very likely.

Yah. He would be an awesome replacement for Rich in CF. I was just thinking about how we are going to replace next years position players. Cox or Fandel might be the replacement for Christensen. (Fandel might end up catching though) Leuty & Only to battle it out for either 1st or 3rd depending upon where Headley plays.

It's "Tommie". And, no. People are myth-builders. Not even Jordan quites lives up to his legend.

 

Wow. That is a pretty amazing statement. What do you back that one up with?

Jordan did get away with a lot of palming, carry the ball, traveling and favorable calls. For some players they changed the games rules to stop them and for others they let them slide. Didn't Jordan himself say that there were more talented players after losing a game of 1 on 1 onetime?

So how important is this transfer?

IMO

It's a good pickup, because our top 3 tackles are Sr's this year (Qvale,Sirles,Arod) and he's experienced so he should be able to get on the field right away, either as a starter or in the rotation. Sterup, Price and Finnin are the guys I believe he would be competing with. He sounds versatile and could play guard as well. Plus it's nice that he will have a year to adjust to Nebraska, get stronger and get experience in our system before the clock starts ticking.

To me this evens out the Moore transfer. (more or less)

Great win. They exposed Minny's bullpen. Lets get another one!. Wish it was on TV. Radio guys do a good job though.

I would say he values size at corner because of his preference for jamming receivers at the line and knocking them off their routes. They also seem big on hand checking down the field. This physical style is easier with bigger guys. Even dennard, who wasn't that tall, was well built. Mitchell seems to be the big exception, but he has better quickness and ball skills than most.

 

Another benefit to recruiting bigger corners is roster flexibility in that they can move to peso or safety.

Agree. Good points

I read an article that said his type of injury doesn't carry a lot of future risk so that's good news for him. I am going to guess he will go in the 2nd round (pick number 43) to the Twins. Time will tell.

Will he be a better CB or S at the next level? We have a good number of Safety talent coming in (LeRoy Alexander, Nathan Gerry, Drake Martinez, Luke Gifford) We're really needing some CB's at this point with Boaz Joseph being the only guy from last year and Charles Jackson being the only one from the year before.

Agree. We need corners. Having said that Bo seems to like cb's that have a lot of safety type attributes. That must be because they play match up zones moreso than straight man lock down coverage?

Winning always helps. If we have success this coming year and have an electric atmosphere at the new place we will sign higher profile players. Take it to the bank.

Reminds me of SJB with his size.

Great win. Gives us a chance to win the series.

I am glad they made it affordable for families. Kudo's to them!

LJS indicated he didn't have an official offer yet. Nebraska wanted to see him in person besides showing him the diggs before making anything official. Said there were some other possibilities as well. Good little update by LJS (Brian Rosenthal)! Thanks Lil' red

Looks pretty solid.

I predict Saturday will be postponed.

PBA

I think we should save the scholarship but:

@RobinWashut: While losing Tummala hurts, good news: #Nebrasketball will get an official visit from 2013 PF Mikael Herbert of Finland tonight through Sun.

Sweet!

Thanks Lil'Red. I think it's a very very positive sign that Nebraska is listed first in that list.

You can say the same about Atewe. Can never be sure where a kid is going thesedays

You could be right, the Miami message board said it's looking like ASU.

but ... twitter says it's down to asu or Nebr wit a decision coming any moment!

This question was raised at the end of the Nebraska baseball show. A brief reply was given that they are toying with the idea (paraphrased)

Would love to see us get this young man and play him at DT. I'll take him at Strong side rush end too. They need to offer this guy.

Sounds like a talented guy. Coach Miles & staff are in on some great kids.

Thanks Lil'Red. I think it's a very very positive sign that Nebraska is listed first in that list.
