EZ-E Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I think we all want him. I hope his is our silent commit as rumored. I'm new to recruiting, but what advantage is gained by having a silent commit? Other recruits aren't spooked if they think he is being recruited for their position? No benefit. Some players just like to announce on their terms instead of on scout or rivals. Link to comment
IllinoisHuskerFan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 If he has as quick a first 2 steps as his older brother I could see him being a real productive corner. Speed to run with the fast wide outs and an ability to break on passes. Might be a project but well worth the risk. Corner? I highly doubt that. His listed 40 time seems inflated when you watch his tape. He's no doubt an athletic guy, but there is no way he has the agility to play bump and run in Bo's system. As a weak side safety or nickle is where I think he has most potential. Another Lavonte David would be nice, but that type of undersized ball hawking LB doesn't come around every year. I'm not sure I see that in Drake... BWTHDIK Disagree. He has the athleticism, speed and the agility to play CB. It may take a year or two but he is a much better fit as a DB than LB. And playing nickle back is essentially a CB you just match up with a 3rd reciever/ back/ or TE (Even Huskersonline.com has a picture of Ciante Evans and says Year in Review CB) After last year and this year (Banderas, Love, Newby, Anderson, Brown, Afalava, Rose) we will have plenty of depth at LB. He wont be needed here... Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Not sure if he has the hips to play CB. IMO he would initially get a try out at OLB or SS, but I think his best position would be FB if they could put the weight on him. I think he a lot like Taylor in that he has good straight ahead speed and burst, which is perfect for FB's. Link to comment

HuskerT Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I see Drake as a safety or wideout. Plenty of athletic ability. Definitely an upgrade from Marsh who we just lost to UNK Its nice to finally agree with you Hedley. Link to comment

LumberJackSker Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 whats the reason for the lack of offers? did most schools back off because they asume he's a Nebraska lock This would be my guess. His family, including Taylor, has said for a long time they support/wish him to be here. scout shows him with a offer from Michigan State and that he is visiting them next week, rivals doesnt have any of that listed does anyone know if this is true?

Minnesota_husker Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I just dont see him wanting to come here, mainly because of how Taylor has been treated...but who knows.. but i would be shocked. Link to comment
tyler23 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Red Reign is the reason I came to this board. If you disagree with him watch out he will make sure to prove you are wrong 100 percent. I do believe he gets a lot of his info off this board. That why I am here, I appreciate the hard work you guys put in here. Keep it up and GBR Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I just dont see him wanting to come here, mainly because of how Taylor has been treated...but who knows.. but i would be shocked. I share the same view ... and am surprised how many folks want this kid. No opinion here toward the kid ... just my impression that overall we would never want another Martinez. Hope we can extend a bit more grace with the next one. Link to comment
