NUance Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Jammal Lord. The guy got a bum rap. He was a LOT more talented than we remember. Just didn’t have much of a supporting cast around him. Quote Link to comment

The Maudfather Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'm going to go with Kenny Wilson. I really thought the guy was going to be a great back for us, but there was the whole TV-broken leg fiasco and that was pretty much the end of it. Quote Link to comment
kc_husker Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Mickey Joesph QB was one of the best option QBs in high school but just did OK with NU. His leg injury against OU didn't help matters. Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Tracey Wistrom Maybe I'm thinking of a different TE (or Wistrom), but didn't Tracey do really well while at NU. How does he fit in this group? Quote Link to comment
nhuskers5 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I was at the game when Herian broke his leg. It was sickening Quote Link to comment

Wistrom finished his career with 1,150 receiving yards to surpass Junior Miller's previous school mark of 1,045 from 1977 to 1979. His 58 career receptions rank 12th all time at Nebraska and second among Husker tight ends. He appeared in 45 regular-season games and made 24 starts, including 11 in 2001.

He was awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship, and he graduated in May 2002. Wistrom produced three 100-yard receiving games in his career, the most by a Husker tight end since Johnny Mitchell had three in 1990 and 1991. Fourteen of Wistrom's 58 career receptions went for 25 yards or more. He caught at least one pass in 12 straight regular-season games, from Oct. 21, 2000 against Baylor, to Oct. 27, 2001 versus Oklahoma. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Mine is Suh....I wish he would have played up to his potential. I was kind of disappointed in his results. No, seriously, you guys/gals have done a great job IMO... the Randy Stella, Evans, and Newcombe are all outstanding examples. The other guy who immediately came to my mind was David Horne. I believe he was a 5 star recruit from Omaha and was a top NATIONAL recruit. He never really found his nitche' at nU and transfered to UNI and helped them to the NC game. Would have been nice to see another Omaha kid turn great to follow the likes of K.Jones, C. Jones, A. Green, etc.. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Another one to me was Wilson Thomas. I still remember him outrunning Crouch to the endzone on that long run against I believe Mizzou. He just happened to be here at the wrong time. I think he could have been an awesome WR if he'd have been in a different offense. Quote Link to comment

It's just my opinion, Tracey came in highly regarded due to his ability and his last name and I guess I thought he was never as good as was expected The stats you provided don't really back up my claim so maybe my memory isn't so good or maybe my expectations were unreasonable Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Joe Dailey - I remember when Nebraska was killing Troy and the Crowd was chanting Daileys name and when he entered the ball game the crowd just erupted in cheers, its a shame that Dailey didn't live up to the hype. Joe Dailey reminds me of Cody Green of this past season and here is my reason. When Jamal Lord wasn't doing so good I remember people chanting for Daileys name and same thing happened this year with Zac Lee struggling and Husker fans wanted Green in the game.

krc1995 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 1. Terrel Farley- I think he was either adopted or in foster care as a child, but either way he had a tough childhood. Freakish ability to be around the ball. Had alot of demons 2. Kenny Wilson- seemed like he was going to break into the rotation and then that whole tv deal. 3. Cody Glenn- loved him as a running back, loved that he willing switched to LB, and then proof-gone 4. Joe Daily- kid was caught in a trap when BC came. Quote Link to comment
