C N Red Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Video: HSGT Football: Vista Murrieta's Corey Whitaker signs with Nebraska http://video.pe.com/...d=1432096058001 Nice little interview. Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think he will be a great player for Nebraska. I think he may have been overlooked a bit because he may not be the best pass blocker right now and needs to get a little bigger and stronger. It's obvious from his film that he is outstanding at pulling, getting to the second level and blocking LB/safety types. (It's not always easy for a lineman to get on those quick DB's.) In other words he's perfect for guard! Give him 2 years in the weight room/training table and development time for pass-pro and we will be talking about him like they are about Long. I really like this guy. Steal of the class. Link to comment
The Dude Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Huh. Just realized Rivals ended up giving him a :star rating. Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I can't wait to see this young man perform on saturdays in Lincoln. Whether he plays center or guard, he is a terrific blocker with a real penchant for knocking people down. He'll need to be bigger and stronger to stand up to the Big 10 D lines but give him a redshirt year and a year or 2 in the weight room and at the training table and I think he'll be hard to keep off the field.

'SkersRule Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 This is a very good pick up. Oregon wanted him to come to Eugene and Florida really was pushing hard for Corey to visit.  Chalk another one up to John Garrison  Whitaker is going to be a star. He has unbelievably quick feet and a nasty attitude. He was planting guys into the turf left and right. Link to comment

Omaha-Husker Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Probably a redshirt anyways. Get healthy. Link to comment
dylan Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Season ending knee injury...thin line getting thinner  That bites but, as noted, he was headed for a shirt in all likelihood anyway. The only real hit to depth so far for this year is Moore. Of course, all of these factors make it even more important that we get five and maybe even six OL in 2013 after only taking two in 2012.

HuskerFowler Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I hope the staff learned from last year that we should take 4 a year no matter what. Looking back on it, we seemed to be pretty happy with Thurston and going hard after Peat, we got Whitaker extremely late. Im ok with leaving a spot open for Peat but we should have had atleast 3 committed by the time he made his decision. Â Peat is just a kid and doesnt know it but he really hurt us by dragging the process on so long, he cost us a couple OL prospects. Link to comment
dylan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yup. Should take 4 per year with a bare minimum of three. Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yup. Should take 4 per year with a bare minimum of three. I agree. Three per year times four years is 12 - barely enough to fill a two-deep without injuries, transfers, busts, etc. Four would be much better. Link to comment
dylan Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Considering almost all linemen redshirt, 3 per year would really give you 14 or 15. but considering busts and injuries, it's still not enough. Link to comment
