KansasHusker Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Would this kid be the tallest reciever ever at NU? I can't remember what Wilson Thomas was but I don't believe he was 6 foot 5. That is what the ND WR were all three listed at. That would be pretty hard for DB to handle. I think Wilson Thomas was 6'6", or at least I had seen him listed that tall before. Yeah, look at some of the receivers coming in. Holt 6'3"-6'4", Brooks 6-4", Purify 6'4"-6-5" and then maybe Henry, aka Gigantor. brooks is only listed at 6-2 Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Anyone know the reason for only 2 stars? I realize that stars ultimately don't really mean a whole lot, but with this guys size and speed, he looks to be a 3 star+ just on paper. You would think there is a reason he isn't rated higher. Is it maybe that he just hasn't gotten much publicity or sent much tape out? It just seems weird that a kid with this much potential would be rated so low. He also has offers from 3 big X11 schools, so its obvious he has garnered some attention (from the people that really matter ) Lack of exposure. Just look at the part of the country he lives in. UTEP and NMSU jumped all over this guy, now alot of big time schools have followed. Quote Link to comment

When he was being recruited Brooks was listed as 6-4 by Scout.com, Rivals.com, and Collegefootballnews.com Then when he signed with NU he was listed as 6-3 by Huskerpedia and Huskerboard.com Now that he is on the roster he is 6-2. Who's holding the tape measure? Who can you trust? Maybe Henry is only 6-1. Quote Link to comment

KansasHusker Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I can't get the feeling out that Will is a Tech kind of guy...hope he shows me different and is N tomorrow! I REALLY want this guy to play for the big red. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Kansas, you'll be wrong. You might as well kick his % up to 99.5, it's pretty much a lock. Quote Link to comment
pigsonthewing Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 i dunno if he is a lock but his speed is underrated and he should be a three star at least. this would be a great get at WR. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Does anyone know, did Henry show up this weekend for his visit? I hope so.....man, the football god's must be on our side a little.... How about welcoming a Texas guys with mid- 50's temperature during the middle of January..... talk about a little luck.... C'mon Will, say YES. It's always this warm in January. Quote Link to comment
BigRedDallasTexan Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Wow, mid 50's eh? That's pretty good for you guys this time of year. We've been in the mid upper 70's, mid 80's for the past 2-3 weeks. must be a warm winter everywhere. Quote Link to comment
Big Red Cop Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I think Omaha has only had 9" snow total so far this winter. Still plenty too go, but it has been a very mild winter so far! Back to Henry, I say 99.9% he comes to NU!! Quote Link to comment

We've been in the mid upper 70's, mid 80's for the past 2-3 weeks. must be a warm winter everywhere. Yeah, I was in Dallas last weekend and it was awesome. Wore shorts for the first time since October, it was great! I am sure that the weather not being really cold and snowy here might help since Henry is from El Paso, but he has to know it isn't always like this. I think he will come here because Nebraska has got the most to offer him, aside from UTEP which is in his backyard. Quote Link to comment
BigRedDallasTexan Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Other than being close to home I can't see any reason that he would choose UTEP over NU. facilities, academics, athletics... all better at Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
chuckd Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 It looks like Henry is N!!! I don't have any inside info, but that is the buzz. Hope it's true, he looks like a great prospect. GO BIG RED Quote Link to comment
