kc_husker Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I was talking about 40 times. How was that not on the topic?????????????? Quote Link to comment
oviedol55 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 formerfan, I'm just saying that this class is full of speed, one of the fastest classes in the history of Nebraska recruiting to my knowledge. I don't really think the 40 time is even the best way to measure speed. Cone drills and shuttle drills are much more important depending on the position (with WRs and DBs the 40 is probably the most important), but from watching film on all these guys, I think that we have a lot of speed coming in here and it will help us tremendously as early as next year. The fact that our slowest linebacker this year runs a 4.6 really excites me as far as improving our coverage in the flats goes. Quote Link to comment
Lucky3000 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Don't doubt Dillard's speed. He has some incredible quickness getting to the ballcarrier, probably the most impressive LB of any at the All American game. Also, like Oviedo said, Lucky was just amazing at the AA game when he got in space. If that kid hits a seam he's gone, I don't care if his "official" 40 was 4.3 or 4.9. Quote Link to comment

I agree with you about Lucky, Dillard was real good at the all star game, but Rey Maulauga is just as good or better. He jumped over the center and blocked a field goal, was flying all over the field a la Junior Seau. Dillard's good, but I'd take Rey Rey anyday. Quote Link to comment

Agreed, both very good but if I had to pick one I would take rey. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 I was talking about 40 times. How was that not on the topic?????????????? Your post was about how Frank supposidly never brought in speed and I felt with the people involved in this thread, it could have headed downward. It didn't have anything to do with the 2005 recruiting class. I am not going to let every thread eventually be talking about how Frank sucks or Callahan and Co. sucks, or etc. If you want to talk about Frank not recruiting speed, please start another topic.

Blackshirt34 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Having the 5th best recruiting class in the nation deserves an A in my book, as for the actual players in the class, they are talented and much more athletic than NU is used to, this should bring speed to the defense and a somewhat potent passing game, along with a future stud at RB.

zoogs Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Gravedig! I don't mean to be a gravedigger, but it's summer, news is slow...while we're looking ahead to the new season and in the midst of recruiting season, let's take a look back to the days when all was rosy... Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Looking back on this, Nic Harris and Reggie Smith were real big misses. Those guys would have helped out a ton. Quote Link to comment
NU fan in Denver Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 After looking at who is still here and who has performed up to their star rating, I give the class a C. Callahan didn't recruit football players he recruited Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Yeah, because projecting talent at that age is just soo easy. I really doubt Cally recruited stars, he just so happened to agree that the best players were the ones the scouts said were the best players. If the scouts had given all our 4 and 5 star recruits only 3 stars, we wouldn't be blaming Callahan for an underachieving class. Blame the scouts. It's all subjective anyway, who cares.
