I learned from UK fans we should put Heinrich on decommit watch. He might have only committed to NU to get POY.

Will not be playing in the All American game in San Antonio in January. Will focus on his rehab.

Probably for the best. Although it would have been fun to see him compete against that level of competition.

I would't be surprised to see Nick starting next season.  He would have started alongside Mo this season IMO.   Super excited to see this kid play for the huskers!!

I don't think so, he will probably get four games in then probably red shirt Since we have Will, Collin and Jacob at the same Position. However, him and Hannah will make a great combo in the future!

Just curious.  Have you seen Nick play?

I have. There's no way he would have started over Young or Honas this past season, barring injury.

Have not attended any of Nicks games due to the state that I live in ; however I do know the current status of our roster and have a Degree in Exercise Science, so I have an idea what weight lifting and nutrition can do for an athlete. I just don't see the point of starting a player when we have a capable talent ahead of him. No matter what, Nick will be a special player at Nebraska.

If I would have seen better angles and tackling from Young, I would agree.  We didn't see much of Honas unfortunately.  I just feel that Henrich is going to excel at stopping

the run.  That is something that has been missing at ILB for a while.  Mainly, I just wouldn't be too shocked if Henrich is at least in the two deep next year.

Well the current roster couldn't pass #5 on the depth chart and to me that is concerning.  I think we have some solid ILbs currently, but other than Mo Barry, they need to step up their game. 

No offense, but I'm pretty sure the fact that weight lifting and good nutrition are beneficial for athletes is pretty common knowledge around here.  Congrats on the degree, though.

I wouldn't be shocked next year if he's in the two deep either, but Nick doesn't have the body composition necessary for starting in the Big Ten at the moment. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Hannah makes more of an immediate impact than Henrich does.

He doesn't now, but neither does Young.  I'm basing my original prediction on Nick being able to play in the spring and Duval doing what he does best and add some good weight.  6'4" 215 (or whatever he is now) plus 15 lbs of good muscle will take care of that.  I do agree that Hannah looks pretty darn good too.  The future at linebacker is bright in Huskerland.
