husker rob Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 I was thinking (dangerous i know) that IF Oku goes to the Vols, would NU still recruit Burkhead as an Athlete and Wegher as a DB? Burkhead has about the same 40 time as Oku, but is 3" taller and about 10lbs heavier, and Wegher is about the same also. I have seen film of Oku and he reminds me of Devine alot with his moves. I have not seen alot of film on Burkhead running the ball or Wegher either. What are everyones thoughts? Quote Link to comment

And not to worry, we are still after some good backs .. namely Knile Davis and Dalton Hilliard. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 HI has Burkhead listed as 4.46. I'd imagine he can't be slower than 4.5(handheld) or else we wouldn't be chasing when we are are already into some good backs and backed-off of Wegher as a rb. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think Burkhead has also been mentioned as a safety. Quote Link to comment

I like our chances with Hiliard. Of course still not out of it for Oku. Quote Link to comment

Of course still not out of it for Oku. I hear you. I'm from the Sioux City, IA area and I think that Wegher isn't making the right choice by going with Iowa. If Iowa has another terrible year like last year, Iowa just might fire Ferentz. But I guess he rather get hit than do the hitting Quote Link to comment
