Corey Cooper

I would guess most likely no. With what we have in the secondary it would seem dumb to burn a shirt for what's going to amount to maybe an hour of PT over the course of a season.

 
I'd say Corey will not see PT this year. With Gomes and West looking like the starters, we face the same situation as last year, we will lose both of them at the end of this year. And that leaves us with PJ and Cassidy as starters next year, as a JR. and SR., respectively. Even though Corey is thought to be more of a SS, I could see him pushing either of those guys, more likely Austin, for a spot next year, along with Courtney Osbourne and possibly Jackson. I'd rather have Corey and Harvey both redshirt this year, because then they'd just be around longer and the longer guys are around in this D, the better the understand it. Once things finally click, these guys can finally reach their potential.

Safety breakdown next year:

SR- Cassidy

JR- Smith, Osbourne

RsFr- Jackson, Cooper (hopefully)

Edit: Cassidy is a white guy? Took me by surprise when I saw his profile on Huskers.com

Yeah that^^^

Although losing Gomes, West, and Rickey after this year he might be a big time factor next year, so it wouldn't hurt to get him some PT if they think he'll contribute a lot next year.

 
I forgot totally forgot about Rickey. Hopefully, Osborne or Cassidy will step up next year and clearly claim the spot opposite PJ, if he does indeed lock one down. If not, let the younger guys go at it.

I think he is the son of former NU Assistant AD Tim Cassidy

 
I hope he redshirts, but judging by some photos I've seen, he really looks the part. He's not skinny like some of the other freshmen; he looks college ready. I'm hoping the safeties will be P.J. Smith and DJ Gomes, but :dunno

As far as Cooper, it's a tough call. On one hand, you'd like to save a year, on the other hand, you'd like him to get some game experience so he has an easier transition next year.
