Eric the Red
Team HuskerBoard
Like I've said, we have roughly a half dozen free rides available. If I could have six guys that Nebraska has on their board here it is. Here is a wish list of guys the Huskers need to get. (In order of necessity) I've took into consideration the guys that have already committed.
1. DT James McKinney - The lack of pressure was so obvious and lacking. Although he won't start, depth is required at this position on this type of a man scheme. He would be a great steal from Michigan and FLorida. It's always great to get a guy away from the big dogs of the recruiting world.
2. DB Reggie Smith - We have come so far with this kid. He has visited us, we have visited him. He is such a pure athlete, there are so many positions he could play. This would be our third recruit out of the Sooner state. Nebraska would garner commits from three of the top four players in the state of Oklahoma. Reggie is a smart kid, never leaving a stone unturned. He has played the recruiting process perfectly, unable, through all the articles and interviews, to lead on about what school he favors. Who knows when he'll commit, but the Huskers will for sure leave a 'ship for this player.
3. DE Raymond Henderson - (see player #1, McKinney) We need speed and pressure on the QB. Henderson could supply some of this. Unlike the inside, I can see Hernderson seeing more time on, say, third down because it would be more of a pass rush instead of trying to fend off 300 pounders on an ISO directed in his gap.
3. DE Barry Turner - Still has rated the Huskers visit as the best. Will compare all others to Lincoln. The Huskers have a better than average shot at him. Same mold as Henderson, just not as much a physical specimen.
5. WR Nyan Boateng - All pro - all world like ability. Has been considered a Hukser for some time, but wants to shine in the Army all star game. So let it be. The guy has a flamin' 40 inch vertical. ALthough he missed his entire senior season due to injury, I don't think we need to worry that much. There was another All-American from Purdue that missed his entire senior seaon due to injury , with and ankle injury of all things. Has done okay. His name - Drew Brees.
6.Martellus Bennett TE - This would be the greatest Christmas present of all. He probably have the least chance at getting him out of all the players I have listed here. It's not a must, but he would sure help out. He's 6'7" can jump and has the softest hands. Perfect for the passing game.
