If Allen measures up at TE and that transfer WR are as good as advertised, don't know how many touches we need to get him in order to be successful. Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 @SECHusker Manning was a transfer WR. I think the starters for this fall are expected to be Manning, Toure, and Martin. Quote Link to comment

Lol. Meant Toure. Dude looks he can extend the field. And I get the feeling they will try to use him like Justin Jefferson, LSU's oversized slot receiver they had in their title run.

All indication is that we aren’t as desperate as we were last year. But, that doesn’t mean he’s not a major part of our potential success this season. Quote Link to comment

Texas was smart by cutting him when he was committed to them. Late class additions if you were not recruiting them for a long time tend to not pan out and that goes back to the Bo days too. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 At the moment we have exactly TWO scholarship wide receivers who are NOT freshmen, eligibility-wise. Those two have combined to appear in ONE game in a Husker uniform. 1 Quote Link to comment

Although from his picture on Twitter it appears he may be engaged so maybe he wants to stick around for that. Either way I don’t expect him to see the field much. Quote Link to comment
Nebraska55fan Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Toure- looks the part. Runs nice routes, gets separation, soft hands, nice Size, I like this guy. He should be in the 700-1000 yards area if we have another guy as a legit threat. Manning- the mystery man. Looks the part, good separation and size. Dropped a TD in the Spring game- has health issues. He plays, its huge, cant count on it. Martin- Looks the part. Good hands, descent routes. Adequate. Betts- Doesnt follow the ball into his hands well. Looks the part, I dont see great separation or great routes. Still just potential for now. Falk-Leiwer- Back ups, no game changers or even Westercamp like possession guys Brown- Hickman- Athletes that have lacked enough consistency to get onto the field Allen- Tall, athletic and has developed. Not a game breaker but creates matchup issues- Im a fan Vokalek- huge, great blocker, clod hopper. Not much of a threat at TE Carnie- Amazing athlete, great speed and size. Unfortunatly he doesnt catch well at all. Even his catches in the Hudl highlights were usually bobbles- doesnt follow ball into his hands. Fidone- would have been game changer. Dont expect to see him back. Nixon- Good speed and hands, hes a possible. Expect Toure to be very consistent. Manning and Allen will have to be near potential for this group to make a difference. Then have another 3 guys make in the 10 catch area. A Nixon/Oliver/Liewer/Falk needs to step up and get 10 grabs each. This group will be an improvement over last season, but by how much- we dont know yet. Quote Link to comment
