Fife 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2006 From what I have heard we will take up to 30. We can do so because of academic scholarships and people currently on roster that will leave the team. It is also possible that one of the players showing up for spring ball will be counted toward last year's total. Another thing to consider is someone greyshirting.

P.S.S. - and Amie or Fleener Would like to get Burkes, either Amie or Fleener, and Patin...I would hate to not have room for Patin...we have been his leader for a long time. Any others out there who have listed us as clear leader that have yet to commit? I'm also hearing Jenkins may be N also...that gets us to 30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex 4.0 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2006 I also heard that Jenkins may have some academic issues though??? I checked some headlines and it seems that he is going to delay his decision now, so i wonder if we didn't pull his offer..... I am so happy with this class defensively at this point i am not too worried about him.... But if it is still possible for him to come then great!

To me, what's more amazing than his height and weight is his 40 time. I just find it hard to fathom that Marcel can lumber his 6'7" 320 lb frame in a 40 time under 5 seconds. Wow!

AR Husker Fan 1,085 Report post Posted December 21, 2006 does anyone know which side of the line (right or left) he plays on or is projected to play on for us? I haven't seen any film on the guy, so I'm just guessing, but I suspect the left. With his stated 40-time, you have to assume he has quick feet. If he has relatively long arms, then he's a lock for protecting the blind side where most teams put their best pass rusher. Again, I don't know this for a fact - just extrapolating given the measuables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silent Commit 1 Report post Posted December 22, 2006 Rivals has Marcel listed as 6'7" 310 lbs. and a 40-time of 5.3....which would bring him back down to earth somewhat. Not that it makes any difference - Marcel is a beast either way. I assume that info for the prospect profile that we have on Huskerboard is from Scout.com. Can anyone tell me which is the more accurate info, in terms of player profiles, Scout or Rivals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
