Pedro G Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I remember in a different era, Nebraska had a running back who had surgery on both knees. What is amazing about this story is in 1969, medicine didn’t have many of the advances as of today. But Joe Orduna fully recovered on both his knees, and he was as good as ever in the Huskers first national Championship team of 1970. Frost thought Thompkins was as good as any RB in the country before he got injured. Thus it’s possible he can fully recovered and become an elite back. 5 Quote Link to comment

Especially now when they can take a cadaver Achilles tendon and replace your ACL with that. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Always felt like Thompkins would find himself near the top of the RB depth chart. Out of all of Frosts RB recruits, he is the most complete back imo. 1 Quote Link to comment

Afterall, you don't go around breaking Spencer Tillman's record because you're a poor RB. And if you're a 0.8939 4 star composite...I'd say you must be a pretty good RB. I like Sevion a lot also, specifically because of his build. I'm excited that we got him to come here. Quote Link to comment
Head Coach Scott Frost Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I told my wife, who is near graduation to be an ER doc, the awesome comeback story that is Thompkins and she replied "We're so weak behind Mills that a guy with 3 ACL tears is our number two guy." We're all assuming it's because he's so good that he earned it. Hopefully that's closer to the truth than he's the second best available among other young but promising talent. Even still, having that injury history is never going to be ideal. 1 Quote Link to comment

Morrison is the exact same type of back for sure. Dynamic workhorse Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I wouldn't say speed is his forte but seems to be a fairly tough runner who doesn't give up. 1 Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Part of his dip had to do with his ankle being injured not just him in an air raid scheme. If he is healed he is better than Mills IMO 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 He's had an ankle injury, a pec injury, and turf toe. "If he is healed" - and if he can stay healthy. Quote Link to comment
