Eric the Red Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Post Signing Day Marlon Lucky Discussion Player:Marlon Lucky Position: RB Height: 5-11.5 Weight:202-210 40 time:4.44-4.51 Visit Date:10/15/04 Scholarships offered:Nebraska, Fla., LSU, Miss. St., Oreg. St., San Diego St., USC, Wash. Favorites:Nebraska and USC Rankings/Stars: Rivals: #1/***** Insiders: #5/***** Assessing the talent: Barry Sanders talent. The complete package. Low to the ground, powerful, and fast. Can catch the ball (14 rec. 219 yards 2TD’s last year) and run (over 1,700 last year). Lucky is perhaps the most versatile back off this season's crop. He is a great threat to score every time he touches the ball. Very elusive, similar to Cory Ross. Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 90% The only thing that is stopping him from being a Husker is his grades. He will take no more trips and has expressed, numerous times, his desire to get out of So Cal. Quote Link to comment

Eric the Red Posted September 29, 2004 Author Share Posted September 29, 2004 Running backs There's no question that Oregon coaches have one prime running back in their sights and it's Olympia, Washington's Jonathon Stewart. He combines the power and size they had in Maurice Morris. And together with Terrell Jackson would form a relentless running attack the likes of which we haven't seen since the Fiesta Bowl winning year. In addition to Stewart, Oregon appears to be the favorite for Jeremiah Johnson. His brother Jerome figures to be an important part of Bellotti's group in the coming years. But this Johnson might even be more special. As a junior he ran for almost 1,300 yards and 20 touchdowns. Averaging over 9 yards a carry. (LSU, USC and yes, Michigan, are all after him as well.)

gamecocks Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Lucky would be a great pickup for us. He know that he is not as talented as Adrian Peterson, but it would be a huge boost for our offense to have a running back with that kind of talent. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 He visit's this week against Baylor. Get'em Cal Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 would be very suprised if he comes here. To much depth at running back that will scare him away besides location. We don't lose a back plus we got johnson who may play iback. Quote Link to comment
hskrwiz Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I don't think depth at I-back would scare him. If he is as good as projected, he should be confident he can go anywhere and get playing time early. Quote Link to comment
Benard Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I don't think depth at I-back would scare him. If he is as good as projected, he should be confident he can go anywhere and get playing time early. maybe, maybe not but dont know if he would. Big risk with jackson getting lots of pt and green back and ross still back. What if he can't beat out jackson? Bet he don't come here. Quote Link to comment
Redout Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Yeah but if his other leader is USC, which is stacked with players, I don't think the Huskers depth will scare him. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 Student section chanted his name several times throughout the game. I know he heard at least once because he turned and smiled. Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 That's the kind of thing that - small as it may seem - can really get a recruit thinking of signing. Quote Link to comment
JTempl Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 got to love that name. "Lucky" on the back or the jersey would be right up there with Hipp and Redwine Quote Link to comment
