schuhbdoo Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 NU has two stud RB's in for visits. I would rather build up the RB's then have this kicker. We need skill players like RB's. NU can find a kicker as a walk-on. Could have 4 RB's in this class. Quote Link to comment

NU can find a kicker as a walk-on. Could have 4 RB's in this class. 4 RB's in this class would mean AT LEAST 2 of them probably never contribute and/or transfer. At least w/ this kicker we would have almost guarenteed that the scholarship would have been used by a contributer. What's better, to give the scholarship to a kicker today that starts, or to give the scholarship to a RB that transfers in 2 years opening up a scholarship to give to a walk-on kicker? If it's going to a kicker eventually anyway...might at well just give it to someone like this kid from the start. Better shot of him succeeding than us pickup someone up off the street again.

Usually at least a year of eligibility is lost. I guess I'm not sold on these back - I see us having 2 great RB's right now. If we take 4 we are dropping down that list pretty far to a point where the success rate is lower. Not only that, but we are further discouraging high profile backs next year and the following year from signing because it will look as though the depth chart is fairly clogged. Quote Link to comment

Prince Amukamara. In the end, we aren't going to get both of these kids..and if we do, they both won't play RB. Don't be so negative all the time KC! Quote Link to comment

I'm not trying to be negative - I just see a few holes in this recruiting class that could be filled by "maybe" not recruiting 4 RBs. Wasn't there a thread not long ago wondering if we'd sign 2? Now 4? Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Was that Sade that just missed the XP? Quote Link to comment
Lil' Red Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 So far Sade has missed and XP and kicked a 29 yard field way low and had it blocked. Not a very impressive performance by him. Quote Link to comment
