gobiggergoredder Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I butchered the template...sorry, but since this kid is here and it seems fairly surprising I thought it was worth posting. Huskers Illustrated reported Friday night that Nebraska has one more visitor for the final weekend before Signing Day: Memphis commit Antonio Reed. A 6-foot-2, 210-pound safety/linebacker from Southaven, Mississippi -- just a mile from the Tennessee border and 15 miles from Memphis -- was in Lincoln for an official visit. A three-star prospect according to 247Sports, Reed is a two-star prospect according to Rivals and Scout, and is unrated according to ESPN. Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Watching highlights and him being 6' 2" 210, he looks like a LB. Quote Link to comment
Amac3309 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Man talk about a guy under the radar, I'm pretty excited about him!! Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 If he can add 20 to 30 lbs and not lose that 40 time, he could be dangerous. Quote Link to comment

A couple of outlets saying he may have committed this weekend. EDIT: Scout and ESPN Quote Link to comment
Husker-Joe Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I hope we still have room for Paulo, Alston, and Hall... Quote Link to comment
Mailman Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 No way we accept these 2 commitments this morning if we don't have room for the other 4 "elite" visiting prospects this weekend. Mainly Paulu and Alston. Quote Link to comment
TITANIC VS LUSITANIA Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 his name is Reed.... he plays Free Safety.... he wears #20.... stamp of approval ! 1 Quote Link to comment
True2tRA Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 If he can add 20 to 30 lbs and not lose that 40 time, he could be dangerous. That's hardly necessary or hardly even possible. You don't add 30 lbs. and not get slower. Maybe there are rare occasions, but it's really not likely at all. I also think this size aspect we all think we need to play in the B1G is a bit overhyped. This kid will gain size simply by being in the weight program, eating well, and maturing but I hope the new staff doesn't make the same mistakes as the old staff and act like everybody needs to pack on unnatural weight. Each player has an optimal weight in which they can gain size and strength while maintaining speed and mobility. We saw too many guys the last few years who began to look really immobile. 2 Quote Link to comment

okaive Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 As for where he'll play in the future, Reed is leaving that open. Wherever the Huskers need him he plans to play This is what I always like to hear from the recruits/players. A true team player at it's finest. Quote Link to comment

Well said True. I think a lot of the time people can easily get sucked into being a bit unrealistic about measurables, metrics, etc. A lot of the time the measurables reported to the recruiting sites aren't even accurate, unless the kid has been to a camp where they verify the 40 time. Even then, a guy could grow an inch or two and weight could change pretty drastically. The important thing is we got an athletic kid who's quite fast, has a good frame, and can play. Film should mean more to everybody than stats... film can't lie. Dobson definitely had some of the guys out of shape. Obviously there's specimens like AA who are just physical freaks anyway-- can't really gauge S&C off of their fitness. Defense was hard to tell as well because a guy like Bando may have been carrying a little bit of bad weight also reportedly was slower because he was trying to mentally process the complex defense. I always looked at the OL. Carried a LOT of ugly bad weight and you have to wonder what they could do if they slimmed down. They'd make a fantastic block on a pull that sprung a long TD, then turn around and get dominated the next series. That and the injury prevalence meant Dobs had to go. So excited to see what Phillip can do with the guys. I've heard only positives so far, he'll be learning from Epley, and the dude's built. Welcome to the team, Antonio! Glad you're a Husker. Come be a part of something special. 2 Quote Link to comment
