Mavric Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Quote The benefit of hindsight does us good sometimes. So we can look back on 12 years of Husker recruiting classes — 2007 through 2018 — and examine the best and worst of that era. The hits and the whiffs. OWH 1 Quote Link to comment
OH HSKR FAN Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Whiffs, lack of development and the coaching revolving door have been brutal. 1 Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Man, forgot about many of those guys. Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The Edna Karr trio was always funny. Couldn't outrun UNL PD, that was peak Huskerboard joke era Quote So, too, would have been Damore’ea Stringfellow, who originally intended to transfer to Nebraska before flipping to Ole Miss after a stunning visit. That is dripping with so much sarcasm, I love it. 4 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I'm not the biggest Pelini fan but its impressive he won as many games as he did because that staff sure couldn't recruit. Did any of the 2010 defensive line recruits play more than 10 snaps in their career? Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Quote Running back Jordan Stevenson was a late signee after he didn’t make grades to get into Wisconsin. He came to camp with a pot belly and bounced out halfway through his freshman season. This made me giggle Quote Link to comment

Toe Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Zach Darlington deserves a place on the 'what might have been' list. And as much as I held out hope until the end, Wilbon should probably be on the misses. 2 hours ago, desertshox said: where did he end up? i'm too lazy to look it up. Apparently he's hoping to go to Georgia, at least from what I can read of the description on this Rivals page. Anyone with a sub wanna give us the gist? https://nebraska.forums.rivals.com/threads/jordan-stevenson-update-lol.228777/ Quote Link to comment
desertshox Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 the independence stats, for stevenson, are from 2017 and he was a sophomore that year. he only played in 2 games that year. spent 2016 at navarro college. no idea where he went last year but wow did his career go south in a hurry.

It's getting old. As far as the topic, I forgot how incredibly disappointing that 2010 defensive line class was and how excited I was about a lot of those guys. I remember Chase Rome in particular feeling like a pretty big get and I was really excited about his potential. This line from the article about that class really hits home: "The complete failure of this class was the bedrock problem that followed NU into the Big Ten era." Quote Link to comment
