Danimal Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I thought Stein should be an OT at the start but I don't think they'll move him now . I know Randle is looking good and Moore is getting healthy put pushing such inexperienced guys into starter status seems risky. Unless they're looking THAT damn good I don't see taking Stein away. Stein has looked solid and should be even better with another year under Dobson. Plus we have Hardrick coming in, who could well be starting next season. After being at DT the last two seasons does Stein just zip by the guys we already have at OT? If the move is made I'd say it's more about what will be more effective farther down the road, we lose a lot on O-line after the '10 season.l Link to comment
huskers1 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I think this statement was probably made before we landed Hardrick. Now we have Smith and Hardrick at LT and Hardrick will have two years to play. That will give Coffey and Sirles, whichever one plays LT two more years to get into gear. Therefore they will have three years in the system before they are expected to jump into a starting role. On top of that we have a franchise LT coming in with Moore so I really don't think there is worry anymore about moving Baker to the offensive side. Link to comment
Overland Park Husker Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 This thread kind of got derailed. How did his in-home visit go? Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 My HS football team got our behinds kicked against Wayzata all the time. They have some freakish talents up there. Looking forward to seeing what this kid can bring. Wayzata is a GREAT football school Link to comment
EZ-E Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 This thread kind of got derailed. How did his in-home visit go? Not waivering at all from what I have heard. He said he is 100 % husker. AND his last name isnt Gabbert. Link to comment
EZ-E Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 IMO he is better than what rivals gives him credit for. http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/...26season%3d2010 Link to comment
SECHusker Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 IMO he is better than what rivals gives him credit for. http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/...26season%3d2010 Crabtree said the reason why he isn't higher is because the level of competition he plays against is weak, and he gets blown off the ball at times. However, his school runs a 3-4. Double teams are bound to get him off the ball. Link to comment
Nexus Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Ummm.... this guy is a stud. I just watched his Jr. year footage. Wow!! Link to comment
huskers1 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I was listening to Crabtree speak about Okuyemi a while back and he was saying that the reason he's not rated higher is bc he takes a lot of plays off and doesn't show the want to needed to be a four or five star so to say. He did say that he is a very good player with very good upside if he gets his motor more in gear. He also said he is a steal of a three star if he gets a better work ethic. I agree though, his highlights are pretty outstanding. I think he shows damn good acceleration and strength. Link to comment

He will find out soon enough that at NU he will sink or swim depending on how hard he competes. We know that Bo and Co don't just hand PT out for sure. I think he is a great pick up assuming he is ready to come and compete. Link to comment

I hope he realizes what he's getting himself into with Pelini. Any form of slacking will not fly at NU. Here's to hoping he shapes up on arrival. The potential is definitely there and then some.

I heard the same segiment that I think you are talking about. But what Crabtree said was that he is inconsistant: Meaning that he is on for one play and then off again. Much like Suh was his Soph year at NU. Link to comment

Like I said, the potential is there, so getting him ingrained into the Pelini system should give him the added boost he needs to improve his overall skill set. It worked for Suh, so it can work for Okuyemi too if he puts in the time and effort. Link to comment

Dillard always had the potential, he just couldn't put it together when it counted. He rose to the occasion when we needed him most, so he wasn't a complete waste of talent. The light finally turned on for him this year. Link to comment
