Mavric Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Wasn't really affected by the tornado. 10.9 100 meters which I assume is electronic so that's pretty good. Quote Link to comment
cornographic Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I couldn't even find this guy on Rivals official site, but jeez, I sure do hope we can pull him away from KU, TX St, or CSU . This could be Riley's 2nd 2* RB to date, if he signs that is. Ok, well, I guess Ozigbo got the NU bump to 3* since he signed, but he was 2* before that with a plethora of offers from 2nd tier schools. Both RBs come in at a 'blazing' 4.7-ish in the 40, woohooo! We're kinda used to high 3* or 4*(Castille, Helu, Burkhead, Ameer, T Newby, A Taylor, M Wilbon) or the occasional 5*(Aaron Green) 'round here @ 'RB U', Riley knows that, right? Is it just me, or is Riley taking his reputation as a developer of 'project players' a bit too seriously? Quote Link to comment

More often, these kids get recruited by a bigger school and get bumped to a 3. I think Callahan & Bo recruited based on the stars, where Riley looks for talent that will fit his system. Moreover, Riley needs to prove he can win before these higher star players commit. Most of these kids were not even born when the Huskers were really good. Quote Link to comment

Lack of evaluation kind of worries me too. Maybe the 'resource' thing hasn't quite set into to Riley's mindset yet. Quote Link to comment

We do not know if this elec. or manual, as manual times are far from correct. These kids can and most likely will get faster. He might be at 4.6 or 4.5 by the time he goes to college. There is a lot more than just speed in a good running back: vision, agility, power, blocking & receiving for a few. I agree this kid does not look good on paper, but I trust this coaching staff. Has Riley shown he is not capable of recruiting at NE? Quote Link to comment

Has Riley shown he is not capable of recruiting at NE? 4.7 is slow for an RB, especially for one who weighs only 190 lbs. So, if I am A Thomas, I wouldn't put that on my resume if it's not his true speed. If it is, well, it's slow. I guess we don't have much of a sample size of Riley's recruiting @ NU. Most of what I'm seeing so far is fairly underwhelming w alot of 'spin' from fans, so I should probably just stay away from the subject until something 'wows' me. He did score that 4* DT out of Okie, so I'll give him that much. 1 Quote Link to comment

A legit 4.71 which was electronicly timed is fast enough as a junior in high school. Kids tape is pretty solid. Riley has landed a 4 star OT from Oklahoma but not a DT. Quote Link to comment

Someone should have told Bo that 5 stars were the "best" prospects. If Bo were recruiting by stars, why was everyone complaining about star rating every year, particularly when we were recruiting the under-the-radar talent Bo constantly found? 2 Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 40 is overrated. I've seen teammates race with and without pads, the results were different. I think a 10 yard burst and vision/feel is a more important evaluation. 2 Quote Link to comment

Drutopian Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It looks like he tries to do too much, backing up to find a lane. That's something you can do in high school but usually turns out bad at higher levels. Watching his film I think he's pretty good athletically but makes questionable decisions. Quote Link to comment
