strigori Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 He did say in the interview, sunday or monday? I don't know, but did anyone see the star gazing thing that husker rivals did? I'm not buying into the recruiting stars as hard as I did. Also, we have a coach that will get the kids to play harder and develope past the starts! I try not to follow stars, but the best teams year in and year out seem to have the top classes(5 and 4 star guys). As much as you say you dont want to follow it, it seems like it does make a difference most of the time. Forgive me if I am wrong, but werent we in the top ten or somewhere thereabouts for a few years...look where that got us? Sure those 5 stars are great athletes, but I am not completely sold on these recruiting sources and how they evaluate talent...they dont measure heart, my friend. Having a top 5 team goes far beyond recruiting..primarily developing your players. Big Red will be back. Hell, look at what one year with Pelini got us. An 8-5 season with the potential of going 9-5 with less talent than we had a year ago. Pelini is our man...*'s are wayyyyyyyyyyy overrated. there is a ton of talent on this team, they just had horrible coaching before Pelini look at Notre Dame, they have talent but a god awful coach No, Im not saying we dont have talent. I am saying that we have less talent than a year ago. And, yes, the coaching before Pelini was horrid. Stars and teams are similar to the chicken and the egg. Which comes first? The stars? or the offers? USC has all 4 and 5 stars every year, but most of those kids commit before their senior seasons, so the stars come after USC wants them. Same with Texas. If you look at who makes the All American Team, there as many 3 stars as 5 stars. And really, the difference between 3 and 5 isnt much at all. Sam Bradford was a 3 star btw. Link to comment

columbus_husker Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Do we have a chance with his teammates DT Terrence Stephens or CB Travis Hawkins? Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Awesome news that Ankrah made it official!!! Another stud for the defense. Welcome future blackshirt!!! Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Do we have a chance with his teammates DT Terrence Stephens or CB Travis Hawkins? Last I heard, no, but things can change. Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Do we have a chance with his teammates DT Terrence Stephens or CB Travis Hawkins? Stephens is still solid with Stanford. We do have an offer for him though. Hawkins looks like he is staying home. This kid was offered by every damn power house school in the nation! Link to comment

braskypants Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I know someone mentioned this, but is he going to have trouble qualifiying? Yes, but he still has a lot time to turn things around. He is not as bad Byrd/Norman/Washington. Link to comment
