Warrior10 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 It is weird that no one is mentioning Alonzo. I know he is hurt, but you have to figure that he may well be the best WR behind Bell. Worried his career here might be defined by injuries. He's had some bad luck. That and Westerkamp has AMAZING hands in the receiving game. (we don't talk about punts) Westerkamp's hands are pretty irrelevant in talking about Alonzo Moore, as they play different spots. Westerkamps has worked mostly and is projected to stay in the slot, while Alonzo has worked almost always in one of the two outside positions. Quote Link to comment

I always figured it was him Turner and Westerkamp at the slot. I remember always hearing how electric Turner and Moore both are and that's why they fit there. And Westerkamp was always more of a sure handed guy meant for the outside more so than a speedy slot receiver but he was so good they wanted him on the field. Quote Link to comment

Westerkamp reminds me so much of Wes Welker; quick guy (not blazing speed), crisp routes, not scared to go across middle, and doesn't drop a thing. Westerkamp would be a good WR at any spot, but I honestly think he can be great at the slot. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 FIVE STOCK RISERS Brandon Reilly: The sophomore walk-on from Lincoln Southwest just kept making plays and moving the chains. He had four catches in the Spring Game and four more in the scrimmage a week before while working with the top offense. The 6-1 Reilly added 15 pounds of muscle this year and has easily entrenched himself among the receivers the Huskers will turn to, joining Kenny Bell, Jordan Westerkamp, Sam Burtch, Jamal Turner, Taariq Allen and Alonzo Moore. Reilly was playing with as much confidence as anyone on that list by spring’s end. LJS Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 B. Reilly@brandonreilly01Apr 29 Just out here trying to break stereotypes for us lighter complexion individuals lol #4.41 Wonder if Reilly can have a stand-out year like Burtch did last year? Lots of buzz for him during spring practice. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Pierson-El got some work with the starters today. Sounds like a good one to keep an eye on. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Pierson-El got some work with the starters today. Sounds like a good one to keep an eye on. Think he'd have gotten more hype in high school if he could've stayed at his natural position of receiver and had a qb that could get him the ball rather than having to play rb and qb to maximize touches.

Reilly@brandonreilly01Apr 29 Just out here trying to break stereotypes for us lighter complexion individuals lol #4.41 Sounds like a high IQ guy. I bet he is a grinder in the weight room and a coach on the field. Probably a great route runner, too... Kinda reminds me of Ed McCaffrey! 1 Quote Link to comment

Warrior10 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Steven M. Sipple @HuskerExtraSip 2m Also, Beck notes three newcomer receivers to watch closely: slots Glenn Irons and Demornay Pierson-El and tall wideout Glenn Irons. I think he means Tolbert as the tall wideout... Steven M. Sipple @HuskerExtraSip 1m Pierson-El and Irons are already getting long looks from coaches ... Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Brian Christopherson @HuskerExtraBC 5m Alonzo Moore's shoulder injury? Actually suffered it last fall camp. Played with it through 2013. He's all fixed up now. #Huskers Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Brandon Reilly looked to have injured a hamstring somewhere along the way. Was on a bike most of practice and had the hammy iced as he left the field. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Should see a lot from Reilly, Burtch, Westerkamp, Allen and of course Bell this year. Kenny Bell @AFRO_THUNDER80 1m #SQUAD @brandonreilly01 @brasko7 @JordanWesty1 @SamBurtch9 pic.twitter.com/DXg9gGcV9R Quote Link to comment
