HuskerJax Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I think oregon was looking at him as a back up plan too...fwiw Link to comment
Huskerbreeze Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 No disrespect...but look at who is recruiting Corey....and backup plans don't win Conference or We need great OL to win a Big Ten or National Championship. OR great OL coaches . Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 No disrespect...but look at who is recruiting Corey....and backup plans don't win Conference or We need great OL to win a Big Ten or National Championship. OR great OL coaches . No disrespect here either ... but I would say that "backup plans do win Big Ten or National Championships". You got to recruit from top to bottom and fill out your offers as best you can to compete. Both the college and NFL levels are filled with players who were given no shots or even never played. I'll hold out judgment and see what shakes out. I'm glad we are having "backup plans". Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 We should offer and take him regardless of what other recruits do. Really think the team can take 18, maybe 19. Link to comment
SECHusker Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 No disrespect...but look at who is recruiting Corey....and backup plans don't win Conference or We need great OL to win a Big Ten or National Championship. OR great OL coaches . I don't care who is recruiting this kid, his film does not lie. The kid is athletic and I don't doubt he runs a 4.9 or better. Besides from 2008-2011, both Stanford and Wisconsin (arguably two of the best O-lines in the nation) only had 3 OL commits between the two of them. Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You guys are silly. Everyone knows 'Defense wins Championships'.... and if somehow this kid and Su'a are a package deal, I'm in! Link to comment
Huskerbreeze Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 OK Husker fans....tell me the last Husker All American Offensive Lineman? Equate that to the last time the Huskers were in the title hunt.....just saying....whether it is three star or four star or five star recruits, or coaching, we need to improve our OL play if we want to play consistently better ball. That is too much of a coincidence to discount. Link to comment
wags Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 the play at the 3:51 does not lie about this athletic ability and speed. 65 yards down field running with wr's and rb's. reminds me of the lineman that played for the huskers in the 90's that went onto play in the super bowl when barret robbins went off his meds. arrgghh cant remember his name. could play dline with that type of athletic ability.

Huskerbreeze Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Tony Fonoti, OG, 2001. Last OL All American. When was the last time we were in the top 5 (except for that one week before we played Texas a couple of years ago? 2001 Link to comment
'SkerNation Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Looks like he got the offer Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 We offered. He is going to go home and think about whether he wants to commit or take his scheduled trip to Oregon this weekend. Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I want him N. He'll play guard or center at NU. Link to comment
Nexus Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 If the rumors of Chip Kelly leaving Oregon for Tampa Bay are true, then that also might bode well for us. Link to comment
Treand3 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 We offered. He is going to go home and think about whether he wants to commit or take his scheduled trip to Oregon this weekend. Probably won't happen with Kelly likely going to Tampa Bay. Link to comment
