Atbone95 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Question for the recruiting gurus: With all these new CB offers going out... what does this say about our coaches confidence in the chance at snagging Beaver? Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Question for the recruiting gurus: With all these new CB offers going out... what does this say about our coaches confidence in the chance at snagging Beaver? Part of it shows the staff knows it won't be a cake walk getting Beaver out off the west coast. Another part of it(and probably the bigger concern) is the coaches have realized a position that at the beginning wasn't thought of being a position of need, now is. There is a need for help in the back seven of the defense. Go throw out a large net and see what prospects you can pull in, I like the thought. Quote Link to comment

The secondary needs at least one of these guys, assuming CJ gets his scores up. If they can get more than one it would really help shore up the nickle and dime spots, IMO. The staff needs to do anything they can to get as many as they can. Quote Link to comment

I would say Rios of the top of my head. I think Manning will either stick with Vtech or go to Notre Dame. Quote Link to comment

We should try and take 3 CB's in this class, with one of them being a JUCO. Quote Link to comment

He wouldn't be a good addition to our team if he's trippin balls all the time, Speed. 1 Quote Link to comment

irieboy8 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Recruiting: Former Boise State CB commit pursuing Nebraska BY SAM MCKEWON | 9:51 AM, THURSDAY, NOV. 3 | POSTED IN BIG RED TODAY Credit the ol’ Interwebs for attracting Marcus Rios to Nebraska’s football program. The six-foot, 170-pound cornerback prospect from Elk Grove, Calif., liked what he saw of NU on his computer and reached out to the Huskers for a potential official visit. Rios, who decommitted from Boise State when his twin sister, Martina, was not offered a track scholarship, will now take that visit Nov. 25 for Nebraska’s game with Iowa. “I saw (Nebraska) on television a couple times and my dad and I were having fun, went on the internet and looked them up and I really started to like them,” Rios told Huskers Illustrated, The World-Herald’s recruiting partner. “I thought I should give the coaches a call and let them know I have a lot of interest.” NU defensive backs coach Corey Raymond flew out to Elk Grove for a meet-and-greet during the Huskers’ bye week. It went well. Now Nebraska is among Rios’ favorites along with UCLA — where he took a visit in September — and Arizona State, where he visits Nov. 18. Just 17, Rios will graduate in December and enroll at a school in January; that would be attractive to Nebraska, which will be looking for extra corners once Alfonzo Dennard graduates after this year. His strength, he said, is press coverage; his Consumes Oaks High School coach, Ryan Gomes, agreed. “He’s an electric and explosive kid,” Gomes said. “He’s a prototypical corner, great speed, great hands, good closing speed and competes.” Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Would love to add this kid to the class. Alot to like about his game, especially since he is an early enrollee too. Quote Link to comment
