Moses Bryant will be part of that list as well once he becomes eligible. Will be a nice looking room here shortly. Maybe the deepest on the offensive side of the ball.

 

 

I hear this about MB all the time (and Bradly last year) that the offer will be there once he's qualified.  That's great, but how come that wasn't the case with Masry?  By all accounts, he's got a lot of work ahead of him to qualify, yet he has an offer.  Why the difference?  It has to be more than just qualifying, doesn't it?   As for MB, I view him as a jack of all trades master of none.

Masry was offered at the beginning of his Jr. year of high school. While there may have been grade issues, if you're offering someone that far out you don't typically factor that kind of thing in.

Bell is going to bring serious competition not only because of his talent but his age as well. His presence is going to elevate that RB room.

A lot of guys in the Nebraska media have said the current RB's on the roster aren't that special.  I tend to agree with them, although I think Bradley could develop into a stud in a couple years.

And I agree to a certain extent. If they were special, they would have been something by now. They have shown flashes that make you think though and they have more than enough ability to be very effective. RB rooms tend to work better when there is a clear front runner. Guys need roles.

I also really like Bryant but unfortunately he has the knees of a 90 year old man. Think we are going to see a bunch of Bradley and Bell next year.

This coaching staff is going to actually use tempo, not just talk about it. We are going to need depth at WR and RB with the amount of plays we are running on offense.

This guy seems to have it all at running back.  He's fast but he can also lower his shoulder and he can really find the crease.  He can even block! 

 

As Frost said he's not afraid to play a freshman if he works hard enough.  Wish the spring game were tomorrow because I want to see this guy play.

 

Glad he's !

He'll be junior so he should be ready to come in and make an immediate impact

Yeah I knew that darnit.  He should see some serious playing time I feel like.

Love this signing.  Buddy has a real opportunity to be the man for 2 years.
