[jakokid]

new starters next year?

 

dillard at mlb?

[Travis9]

thenarse at safety. A new Will and a new Sam, also Simi Kuli a DE

 

hopefully Holt Paul and Henry with swift and petersen off the bench

 

hopefully Zac Lee (the real deal i tell ya)

[T_O_Bull]

 

Lucky - Helu at I-back

Castile - Glen at Full Back

Wilson at Wing Back.

 

Every position gets yards. Keep the D guessing as to if the I-Backs will run past then or the Full Back will run over them or if the Wing back will take turns running past and over them.

Well.... at LB we need a new WILL and a new SAM. I'd guess that the candidates at WILL will be Austin Stafford (RSF), Major Culbert (Junior), Latravis Washington (Sophomore) --- possibly Larry Asante moves back to WILL. At SAM candidates are Latravis Washington, Major Culbert, and Blake Lawrence (though he lacks speed) -- and maybe, if we land Shaun Mohler he steps in.

 

At DE expect Kuli (if he shows up) and William Yancy to push last years starters (Potter and Turner --- both of whom struggled). In the interior DL only SUH is certain to start --- expect that the other position will be open with a bunch of potential people (Steinkuler, Dixon, Barfield, Jenson --- none of who were overly effective). At safety you have Asante (unless he moves to LB) and Thenarse with maybe Anthony West and S. Sullivan (unless they go to CB) as potentials. At CB there is Murillo, Blue and Amukamura as options.

 

Overall, well.... there is reason to think that Bo will have his work cut out for him as likely not one of these players would be a starter at LSU and many of these guys would not even be in the top two. People have ragged about defensive coaching --- and rightly so. But the NU defense is thin on talent, really thin --- especially on lack of speed in the back seven and in both lack of quickness and lack of strength on the DL.

 

 

This defense will improve --- I am certain. There will be no #105 nationally. But it is unlikely that the defense, no matter how well coached, will be a top 25 defense. They can, potentially, be serviceable. But the talent is not there for a great (or even a really good defense). Unless Bo is a miracle worker, one can not build bricks without straw. Bo needs some talent on defense and that will take some time.

 

Those thinking that Cally had great recruiting classes need only look at the attrition rates from those classes and also see the performance of those that have stuck with the program to realize that those classes were nowhere near as good as initially thought.

 

I would imagine that Pelini is inheriting more talent than Callahan did when he arrived. But the talent difference now versus four years ago is not nearly as wide as most on this board think. NU is not without talent --- they have middle conference talent. They were coached down to bottom feeder performance. Next year expect middle conference performance --- which is quite the improvement.

[HuskerInKC16]

TE - Mike McNeill? Drew Young? Pierre Allen?

C - ?

 

Jaivorio Burkes, DJ Jones, Keith Williams, Cruz Barrett, Marcel Jones - not sure which position, but pretty excited about these beasts

 

WR - Holt, Paul, Henry

RB - hopefully everyone is back and healthy, plenty of depth

FB - Makovicka (this has to be a given)

 

DE - Kuli

DT - Somebody with a little fire to help Suh out, maybe Seth Jensen

SAM - Blake Lawrence

MIKE - Dillard, unless he gets outworked in practice

WILL - Culbert, Stafford, Covey?

CB - Blue, Murrillo, Amukamara?

S - Thenarse, Assante

His recruiting was very good. The problem is he did not recruit Defensive players. How many of our Defensive players came through the JUCO route?
