HuskersGJ Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 this is what i've seen so far: January 21st-- Hula Bowl: Cory Ross (#31) and Titus Adams (#96), for the West squad East-West Shrine Game: LeKevin Smith (#66), West again January 28th-- Senior Bowl: Daniel Bullocks. #? as was already posted, the rosters will be announced on the 22nd. I was glad to see Cory get an invite. BTW, all the above players have also been invited to the NFL combine. no Sam Koch though as far as ratings, i'm trying to keep up with some of the wannabe draft "expert" rankings, etc. here: http://www.geocities.com/nflhuskers/draft/...ldraft2006.html Quote Link to comment
HuskersGJ Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 January 21st--Hula Bowl: Cory Ross (#31) and Titus Adams (#96), for the West squad East-West Shrine Game: LeKevin Smith (#66), West again the site i got the original rosters from was a little off about Ross, to say the least. It was dated from late December so I don't know if he WAS going to be in the Hula bowl but it matters not now as he's going to be in the E-W Shrine Game on Saturday. He will be wearing #7. just look for the short dude with the "N" on his helmet... Smith (#66 Shrine Game) and Adams (#96 Hula Bowl) are still correct. Also, quite a few practice notes on Ross (special thanks to the KFFL forums): The Jets were the only team we saw talking to one of the big secrets at the game, DB Danieal Manning from Abilene Christian. Originally a Nebraska guy, we’ll talk more about this rising star soon. The Panthers went right for Joe Toledo, the Washington OT whose injury issues have been a concern but otherwise shows the potential to dominate at the next level. For a team with a thin line, he could be the answer in the 3rd or if he slips to the 4th, which we doubt. They also talked guite a bit to short, stocky Nebraska RB Cory Ross . Ross might be as short as 5’6”, but he was low and powerful, kept his legs moving, and caught a few nice passes. and... Nebraska's Cory Ross continued to look like the kind of guy who could stick. He seemed like a more powerful Quentin Griffin, and really impressed me with his receiving skills. He's a very determined runner and he knows how to use his low center of gravity to go through the hole like a pinball. and... It's still questionable if Nebraska OH Cory Ross is a guy who's going to be draftable, but one thing is not in question - his effort. He really hits the hole well and shows a pretty good burst. He doesn't have magic feet or really any superlative qualities, plus he's very, very short, but he might be strong enough and have enough fire to worth a gamble pick in the seventh round as a kind of Darren Sproles-like player. http://www.gbnreport.com/shrinereport.htm Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I can't find any lists, but in the Shrine game just completed, I saw LeKevin Smith playing. Looked pretty good out there too. Titus Adams is playing in the Hula Bowl on espn2 right now. Any others? Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Ross was in the Shrine Bowl GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
HuskersGJ Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Even though the ESPN bashing on this board has died down can i rant about Mark May? The Texas DT had a great game and May gave him credit. but May then noted that the guy's best play was when he "made a tackle without a helmet!". wow. Newsflash for Mark: its not a "tackle" when the opposing player is already down on the ground and is in the process of getting back up again when the Texas DT just piles on. with or without a helmet. IMO it looked like the DT was trying to prove that he could still be physical even without his helmet- though the player he hit was probably even more vulnerable than he was. May bought it though. Had the refs appropriately thrown a penalty flag it would have been one of the dumbest plays in the game- not a positive highlight. Quote Link to comment
