Spartness Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 If Wilson and Glenn can block, I am all for that. Todd may not be that great of a runner, but I like to see a short yard situation where Taylor would give it to him on a trap play or draw. Since no team expects those plays, they could amount to a significant gain. You remember against OU two years back that the first give to the FB for the whole year amounted to about a 40-yard. Try it. It's not a high risk play ... well maybe it would be since he's not use to handling the ball. Quote Link to comment

Blackshirtsguru Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 He's in Louisville right now. LAME! I have a bad feeling Louisville will get him. Quote Link to comment
Always a husker Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 He's in Louisville right now. LAME! I have a bad feeling Louisville will get him. I hope not this guy could be the next great RB. He is huge, it looks like hes hard to take down. Quote Link to comment
Hawkeyehusker Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Quentin is the real deal. Plus we got Okafor already given his verbal for 2008. We are stacked at running back. We are deeper at running back than we have been since Osborne left. Quote Link to comment
OKCHusker Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 He is now a "soft commit". NU and Louisville are now even. Says he not happy about all of the running backs nebraska has recruited. Can you blame the guy? Jax - 1 year left, Wilson - 1 year left, Lucky - 2 years left, Glenn - 2 years left....plus Castille, Mendoza and Helu will be coming in. Quote Link to comment
mahoney Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Scared of competition? I hope not. Helu will probably be moved to safety. Castille and Mendoza have nothing in common with how they run or how they will be used. Remember Glenn went through the same thing after he committed and the coaches told him to stay so hopefully that will be what happens here. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 This year has showed how quickly injuries can deplete that depth. He shouldn't be afraid of the competition. Quote Link to comment

Maybe he sees how Glenn is used and wants to be more of a feature back then a specialty back? Quote Link to comment

It's possible...........some guys don't want to do the running back by committee thing and they want to have all the glory. I can't say I blame them I would most likely feel that way if I was in the same situation........ Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Helu will probably be moved to safety. Castille and Mendoza have nothing in common with how they run or how they will be used. Just checked Louisville's roster. They have 4 Freshman RB's and a Sophomore RB...not even looking at the JR's. Of these 5 underclassmen RB's they are heavier backs at 248, 240, 225, 225, and 220 lbs. I don't know why Castille would be concerned about our RB recruits of Helu 204 lbs. and Mendoza 175 lbs. as we obviously will use those backs in different capacities. Louisville already has a ton of backs at Castille's size! I'm hoping this guy doesn't get snowed by Louisville and keeps his committment with us. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 He seems to be most worried about Mendoza. Why, I don't know. With Mendoza, he will be no real threat starting as a freshman. Mendoza needs to put on another 15lbs. to even be a threat at RB, and more likely another 25lbs. to be considered a starting threat at RB. Honestly, he will likely start out as a KR/PR and work from there. With Helu, he can play so many positions as well. He could easily end up being a LB or safety at UNL. He was actually recruited as a safety by some schools. Castille needs to realize, we are bringing in ATHLETES. Just because you are recruited to a position, doesn't mean you will stay there. If someone beats you out, or you are floundering at one position, we will find a position for you somewhere. It's something most major programs do, and it seems more successful when it's done by RB's. Castille needs to adopt the mentality of bring on everybody, because I will beat them out. Look at these players who go to Texas, Florida, USC, etc., year after year. It's something that gets lost about these players who go to those schools year after year. They know the competition they will face, but they simply don't care. It's a winning attitude. Quote Link to comment
huskerpt34 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Helu will probably end up on the defensive side of the ball and Mendoza is someone to help us in the return game. Maybe someone who can line up in the slot a creat mismatches with his speed. I don't see either of them competing directly with Castille. Even so, why is he afraid of some competition?

Hawkeyehusker Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'd hate to see QC decommit but if he does maybe we'll have a good shot at Devine. Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'd hate to see QC decommit but if he does maybe we'll have a good shot at Devine. Just as long as we don't lose both of them. Quote Link to comment
