It's nice to see that kind of recognition for the program again. Last time you heard of stuff like this it was for Epply. Hard work is the cornerstone for the program and you need to be working in the right direction.

Now THIS is how a strength coach is supposed to look. Like he's seen the inside of a weight room. Recently.

I really hope to see us again take a noticeable and convincing lead in the battle of strength and conditioning for sure. To get that type of national recognition has got to mean something. Coupled with the unveiling of the new strength technolgies we should have a leg up in some recruiting battles.

He's a good size guy...funny thing is, it looks like he use to be BIGGER. I find hilarity in the fact that people complain that we don't have the best athletes out there because they aren't being developed. Here are some counter-claims to that argument: 1.) Take a look at Suh, Amukamara, Fonzie, Helu, and Kinnie just to name a few. People should take a look at their highschool senior pictures and compare the physical development that has occurred. 2.) It is not necessarily a lack of physical development of why some of the players are being out-performed in games, it's straight up lack of talent. Nebraska needs to improve on the recruiting front and I believe the program is headed in the right direction. If Neb lands more talented players with physical potential, I believe NEB has the tools to bring out some of the best physical aspects in these players, hence the evidence already stated. I've heard from time to time that NEB players who perform in the NFL combine end up displaying great physical attributes such as strength, agility, and overall conditioning. Now, Marcel Jones is definitely an exception. I believe that has to do more with personal accountability. These coaches can't babysit every single player and make sure they are bustin their butts in the gym. Marcel Jones bench press reps at the combine were pathetic. Period. However, this doesn't necessarily measure overall physical performance on the field.
