eliot1171 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 He'll probably be in the running for the Outland. Quote Link to comment
darkhorse85 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I was just going to post this. Good luck to Mike! Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 How did Mike get on this list? He was a major problem in our pass protection last year. O well more power to the kid. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 How did Mike get on this list? He was a major problem in our pass protection last year. O well more power to the kid. for his size he plays well, but being in the middle and under 300 is a liability for him, he got man handled quite a few times last season. Quote Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 How did Mike get on this list? He was a major problem in our pass protection last year. O well more power to the kid. My thoughts exactly. I like Caputo and all, but I'm not sure he's done anything to warrant this. It might be one of those cases where our reputation causes them to ask..."Is Nebraska on here? Nope. Add whoever their center is to the list. Ok done.". Quote Link to comment

commando Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 there are 42 names on the list.....that doesnt narrow the field down very much. Quote Link to comment

I dont know, I have seen some pretty good lineman in that upper 2 but not quite 3 range. I would take a 280 pound rock over a 315 pound with a few extra doughnuts on him. I should say, you guys are better at knowing his level of play, but just saying there are good linemen around that size. 1 Quote Link to comment
mnhusker Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I think it will great when a Husker brings this home. (Did I say I have a Remington Autograph) ..... it is on slip of paper from when he came to my elementry school with some other players for Lunch. (probably an NCAA violation they may have got Mac and cheese for free at Zeman elmentry but I wont tell if you dont) ....... at the time he was just a cool player. Quote Link to comment

I should say, you guys are better at knowing his level of play, but just saying there are good linemen around that size. He's a good player, and had a good season overall. People are still going batty about how NU ended the season. He's extremely strong for his size, and there's nothing at all wrong with undersized centers as most of the time they need to be quick enough to reach the second level. Mike's biggest problem with his size is he has short arms, which does hurt him. Quote Link to comment
