girlknowsfootball Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just heard Crabtree's report on 1620 regarding this kid. He says the program Ruffin is coming out of is crap. He seemed shocked that NU would look at this kid concerning the program he is coming out of. He feels the kid has a lot of potential talent but Ruffin has the rating that he does for a reason. He said that he would be surprised if NU went after this kid. Quote Link to comment
Captain K Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 He seems to have pretty good vision while running with the ball and cuts well. Maybe this makes up for not getting "whatchu talkin bout" Willis Wright from FL. If he really runs 4.4, stands 6'1'' and runs with the ball the way it looks on film, he could contribute. We need to roll the dice on wr recruits more than most places. Let's hope Ezell doesn't come up snakeyes. Might be good out of our wildcat package! Quote Link to comment

The program Ezell comes out of is playing programs like Poly, Mission Viejo, Edison, Los Alamitos, etc., Ezell is playing as legit of competition as you could possibly ask for. That is unless Crabby is saying his HS program is garbage, which makes no sense. It would seem to me then with what would be a lack of coaching for Ezell, his physical attributes coupled with his raw abilities and talent that he has flashed versus top competition would make him highly thought of. That just makes literally no sense to say that, if he did (I haven't heard the interview). Quote Link to comment

Yeah... a listener called in and asked what Crabtree thought about all the rumors that NU had given a verbal offer to Ezell... Crabtree said he had heard those rumors but would basically be surprised if they were true. He said that the program Ezell is coming out of is not a premier program by any means. He said they playd Poly, which is a really good program, but that Ezell's school is not. He basically called the school an inner city school with crap football, in a round about way. He said if this is who Nebraska is looking at as a backup then it means we are desperate... unless Pelini thinks he can develop the raw potential in this kid. Quote Link to comment
HuskerBruin Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Looks like Utah St. has offered as well and is getting a visit from Ruffin this weekend. Quote Link to comment

huskerfan702 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 This guy looks like a faster pj smith. He is can cover alot of ground and looks to have great playmaking skills. He looks to be a serious steal. If these rumors are true im gonna side with the coaching staff history of finding talent and say I WANT HIM N!!!! Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 On a thread on HI it was said we may not be the only BCS-team looking to make a late run at him. I'd imagine with his brother here we could make a strong case. Quote Link to comment
