MLB 51 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Why is he not ranked by any of the other service? Someone mentioned he was a beast. Quote Link to comment
ccm420 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 who cares about the services. 16.5 sacks. big time offers. 6'5'' 290. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Man this would be another big defensive line get. Need some d-lineman from the dirty souF. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 “I just want to have a good chance of coming in and getting playing time next year,” he said. “I don’t have to be a starter. I want to earn everything I get. I do want to feel like there will be some playing time.” I think he will fit in here just fine Quote Link to comment

Looks like we will end up with at least one more JUCO d-lineman...and that sounds like success for us next year! Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I hope this ends up being our JUCO DT for our 2013 class. He'll be ready to go next year and he looks to be a beast! Quote Link to comment
nuhuskeralum Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yes, I hope so too. Gotta love a kid willing to work to get where he wants to be and not expect it to be handed to him. Quote Link to comment
Ed Helms Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Rivals just updated him to a 5.8 :star :star Quote Link to comment
lionsfan93 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Rivals just updated him to a 5.8 :star :star Is Rivals suddenly in love with us?!? We land Gregory and they bump him up. Now we start recruiting Lavon and get him for a visit and they bump him too. Or maybe our coaches just know what they are doing when it comes to recruiting... Also, I wouldn't mind taking him plus Quincy for next year and even Toby for the following two years. IMO, you just can't turn down this kind of talent. Quote Link to comment
nuhuskeralum Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I don't think we would turn any high quality DT down until we had 4 signed. Personally I like this guy better than Johnson. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Sounds like we are in a good position with Quincy. I think we would take both him and Hooks, and maybe Jamone Boyd to round out the D line, maybe a HS kid if one of the guys on our board fell in our lap. Its interesting, from an interview i read yesterday, Terry Joseph didnt tell Hooks anything about what to expect here, didnt tell him about the atmosphere or anything. Setting him up for a big surprise, good tactic. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I don't think we would turn any high quality DT down until we had 4 signed. Personally I like this guy better than Johnson. Because he has 2 good knees instead of one? Johnson is every bit as good or better than this guy. Not to take anything away from him but these 2 are big gets no matter where they go.

Haspula Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I think we take 2 DTs this year Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Nebraska has stepped up their offers to DT's and I think are in on some good ones like Mr. Hooks here. Quote Link to comment
