haymarkethomer Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 If Green knows he is coming to Nebraska I hope he commits soon,it will only help us in pickup top recruits. That is the only reason stars are important....not because its a true ranking of a player, but because other recruits want to play with who are "perceived" the best by their star rankings. 1 Link to comment
Spartness Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Received this email from the Bleacher Report. (Must be from my Touchdown Club membership.) Rated the third best back in the country. It has some great film on Green. (Don't know if this has already been shown on this thread.) This guy not only can fly, but he's got great moves and quickness. The only negative the short article says is he's not a good inside runner because of his size. Says nothing about Nebraska being one of the leaders. Hopefully that is an oversight. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/350153-ranking-the-top-10-running-back-recruits-for-2011 Link to comment

IMHO the state of Texas has quite possibly 4 of the best 5 backs in the nation. 3 of which (Brown, Green, Sims) should all be ranked as 5 star prospects. Isaiah Crowell should also be given 5 stars as well. Link to comment

Many posters here have more informed opinions than the writers for that site. Link to comment
Spartness Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Could very well not be a very good site -- I like BigWillie's opinions, for example. I'm more interested in the game film of him. The dude has wheels. Link to comment
iruletheskool Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 same video i've seen about a hundred times.. really hope we can pull him in. Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 IMO if we lose out on Green I won't be too torn up. But that's only because I'm so pumped about Braylon Heard. After watching Braylon Heard and Aaron Green's films back to back I see a lot of similarities in their size, speed, and abilities. Both are really fast, both can change direction instantly, both are shifty backs, I feel like I am watching the exact same guy run in different uniforms... Although I do think Aaron Green is a little faster, has a little better field vision, and makes his cuts a little quicker. Here's their videos... watch them back to back and tell me what you think...

Braylon Heard agree that Heard could be a great back, but Aaron has more upside, his video there was his sophomore year, Heard was his senior, and they look very similar.. Link to comment

Braylon Heard Braylon Heard is a great back dont get me wrong, but he played on a great team in a smaller conference than Aaron plays in currently. Link to comment

AG played his entire junior season behind a new offensive line and with a bum ankle. Kid was still in a walking boot as of a few weeks ago. You cannot take anything from his junior season and think that takes away from him as a player. Alot of other circumstances to throw in there. Link to comment

If you don't believe me (on how good he is), just wait and see. The only thing with Hilliard is that he is PHENOMENAL at being a power back. But the minute you force him to change direction or run in space, he becomes pedestrian at best. Link to comment
