huskernumerouno Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I agree that any of these kids would help our program, lets get some impressive linemen to go with the ones we have and will get. Quote Link to comment

husker rob Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 is he a running back or a qb??? Quote Link to comment
huskernumerouno Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 There is no guessing what their offense is built around. Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 the coach probably was thinking "Why risk a fumbled exchange from the center to the QB" and decided to just snap the ball directly to him and let him work his magic. His highlight reel does look pretty awesome Quote Link to comment
CodyGlenn34theRuskSensation Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Coach Mahaffey from Rusk lines Sturns up deep in the shotgun and just lets him run from there. Sturns really is a great athlete with better speed than Glenn. The issue with Sturns is does he have his head on straight. The Rusk coaches have had some fairly significant discipline problems with Justin the last two to three years. I am hoping he will shut his lip and quit talking back to the coaches and being disrespectful to them. I would like to see him go on and realize his potential. Oh, by the way, on Justin's highlights, the P in the middle of the field is for Palestine, aka, Adrian Peterson's old high school. Quote Link to comment
CodyGlenn34theRuskSensation Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Justin Sturns (from Cody Glenn's old high school) got his 2006 season off to a nice start against Mabank last Friday night. Rusk won, 33-7. Sturns had 16 carries for 305 yards and scored all 5 of the team's touchdowns. Sturns' TD runs covered 27, 34, 85, 50, and 47 yards Coach Mahaffey took Sturns out of the game at the 7:00 mark in the 4th quarter to prevent a potential injury. Justin ran an electronic 4.4 second 40 yard dash at the Scout.com Combine earlier this year. Justin has been working on his speed and the local papers in East Texas have reported that his Rusk coaches have timed him multiple times this fall at a 4.3 second 40 yard dash. Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 so will he be academically eligible? or is really just the disciplinary problems that seem to be keeping this guy off the radar? Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 so will he be academically eligible? or is really just the disciplinary problems that seem to be keeping this guy off the radar? On rivals, he is ranked 26th amongst RB's. He has NU at medium interest right now amongst other schools such as Iowa, Tennessee and Texas A&M. Taking a running back from Rusk worked the first time, why not take this kid? Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 IIRC he hasn't hardly garnered any scholarship offers. That is what I meant by off the radar... I am almost positive Nebraska hasn't offered him one. Quote Link to comment

I am almost positive Nebraska hasn't offered him one. I guess scout has that info, I didn't check there. Got to wonder whats up then. Quote Link to comment
CodyGlenn34theRuskSensation Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I used to know one of the coaches on the Rusk staff but he moved to a Dallas area school at the end of last season. Apparently Sturns is working on the character side quite a bit. Much better attitude this season and isn't causing the same problems for the coaching staff. The thing I don't know about most importantly are his test scores!! Sturns is to agility, lateral quckness, and burst through the hole what Cody Glenn is to power running. If Glenn had Sturns' overall speed, he would be totally unstoppable!! Quote Link to comment

What kind of size does this kid have? I mean is he big like Glenn or is he a small shifty back. Quote Link to comment
