irieboy8 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 was visited by both Beck AND Pelini...... they want him baaad!! Old Tappan (N.J.) athlete Devin Fuller, is getting the full-court press from head coach Bo Pelini – and Beck. That’s Nebraska’s two highest-profile guys in one living room for a full night.“It was a very good visit I had with the coaches,” “They were just letting me know I’m their top option and they want me really bad. Then we also talked about early playing time and how they would use me as a quarterback.” Yes, quarterback. “Definitely, I think it’s a good offense for me,” he said. “I like how they use the quarterback and I think there is a chance for me to play early if I were to go there.” Fuller still has Alabama, Rutgers and TCU on his list, but I think Nebraska caught a break when Penn State became Tabloid Central. I liked Fuller for heading to Happy Valley and starting at QB there midway through his first season. Maybe not now. Quote Link to comment

Shoot I want Fuller really bad, but its great to hear the staff is going all out for him. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Fuller is a ridiculous athlete, if Armstrong is good as advertised Fuller might be a WR. Either way I want him no matter the position Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Fuller is a ridiculous athlete, if Armstrong is good as advertised Fuller might be a WR. Either way I want him no matter the position I've pretty much decided that athletes come to Nebraska to die. Why? B/c we stick them out at WR and can't or won't throw to them. Fuller needs to be part of the running game in some capacity. Whether lined up at RB, QB once in awhile, slot with jet sweeps, etc. He HAS to get the ball in his hands. Same for Turner. We aren't using him right. He is not a good blocker, but they are determined to leave him at WR and make him block but never throw him the ball. Hand the f'ing ball off to him and let him run!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH Quote Link to comment

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH One thing we've never done that I think we need to start doing is more of the Wildcat/Pistol stuff. I agree with the point you made, and point you to Oregon's offense. What do they like to do? Get the two fastest guys... put them in a wildcat formation... and say go. Quote Link to comment

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH He was our leading receiver until he started taking it easy. I agree that I'd like to see him have the ball more but he's got to do his part. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 We dont use Turner or Abdullah half as much as we should Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 We dont use Turner or Abdullah half as much as we should Nor Green. I really hope this changes next year. Quote Link to comment

I REALLY hope this changes BEFORE next year!! It NEEDS to start with the bowl game!! The coaches have a month to really work closely with these young kids with no distractions. Lets see what kind of coaches we really have. Quote Link to comment

Lets see what kind of coaches we really have. You guys crack me up. The true frosh are getting the ball plenty. It's not like any of those were lighting up the field when they did get chances. They've all got 3-4 more years to improve and earn more time. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Agree, RedDenver. Especially on Aaron Green. He's super fast and will likely be a human highlight reel at some point in his career at NU, but the few times I saw him run the ball, he didn't follow his blocks very well. His run in the Iowa game comes to mind. He tried to get outside and missed the hole right off of the right tackle. Of all of the RBs I thought Heard ran the best. And when I say that, I mean he ran the most like Rex. Quote Link to comment

Nexus Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Looks like Arizona has entered the race with Rich Rod making a push for him. Not gonna lie, he'd fit really well in that system. Quote Link to comment

When Rich Rod got hired I wondered if he'd go after Devin. Yes, he would fit well in his system, but it's still AZ. Quote Link to comment
papio2chi Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Visited TCU...His dad played there, so there is some connection. They want him at safety, but said he could give QB a try...but they really want him at safety. Quote Link to comment
