HSKRNOKC Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I have read on rivals that he has very good speed and great hands.. Maybe not an absolute gamebreaker but a very solid receiver. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Cooper is coming along pretty well right now. He will definitely be in the mix next year. Gilleylen is very fast but he has to many drops and he is very inconsistent. Are you talking about Gilleylen's performance in practices, or are you referencing the one drop he had in game time this year? Honestly, he hasn't been given many chances. Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 ESPN Evaluation Omigie looks great on the hoof as a projected outside receiver prospect and has good physical tools to polish up at the position. Has great height and a well-defined body that should continue to fill out well to the 210-pound range in college. Large target with a good catch-radius. Displays good hands and concentration. Tracks the downfield throw well adjusting his hips and controlling his body. Creates great mismatches on the jump ball over smaller corners. Not real sharp as a route runner but is difficult for smaller corners to press and gain leverage on. Does a good job finding the soft spots in zone defenses and coming back to the football. Shows good sideline awareness. After the catch he is not real fluid but is a load to take down once he builds momentum. Absorbs the big hit and often bounces off smaller defensive backs on contact. However, his top-end speed and extra gear in the second level are just adequate. We don't see him winning many foot-races at the next level or eluding defenders in space. Ability to create separation out of his breaks is a concern; often gears down at the top of his stem on intermediate routes. The chunk of his college production will most likely come from big downfield grabs. Will need to continue packing on bulk and improve upper-body strength to excel in that possession type role. That said, Omigie does show great downfield blocking skills and should adjust smoothly to the increased physicality of the next level. Good receiver prospect that would be higher rated if he had a bit more speed. Like I said give me a guy who'll catch everything thrown to him. Quote Link to comment
huskerswrkhavoc Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 i like big wr as much as the next guy but we really need the smaller quicker and faster wr....most of nu's wr are real tall possession type wr...we need a guy that can take a short quick pass and have the ability to take it to the house what about gilleylen and cooper? Both are supposed to have pretty damn good speed... and sophomore/freshman next year respectively.... Cooper is coming along pretty well right now. He will definitely be in the mix next year. Gilleylen is very fast but he has to many drops and he is very inconsistent. what affect is baseball going to have on Cooper's development as a receiver? Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 On the negative he still doesn't give us the gamebreaker we need. On the positive he's a big, physical kid that could be productive in our system and would be a junk yard dog blocking on the perimeter. Omigie has some wheels on him, do not doubt. And for anyone comparing Omigie to Henry -- do not even put them in the same sentence. Henry does not even have close to the hands that Omigie has right now. The only similarities is the way their recruitment played out and their size. What makes you say he has wheels on him? He is fast for someone his size, but he is definetly not a gamebreaker like Danimal said. Omigie is like Dezmon Briscoe in the fact he has some deceptive speed. Omigie has huge stride when he runs which hides his speed in a way. Quote Link to comment
