I was listening to ESPN radio at about 12:30 today and they were talking to Mel Kiper (draft expert) about what teams that finished in the lower part of the top 25 this year that could finish much higher next year. Well first he talks about South Carolina for about 30 seconds, then he starts in on the HUSKERS.
He talks about them for a couple of minutes and says with the job of recruiting John Blake is doing and with the players understanding the WCO better, this team could be a legitimate top 10 team next year. The other guy on there brought up the fact that a lot of people were calling for Callahan's head after last year and Kiper said that happens when change is made and fans just need to be patient and that the program is definitely on the right track. He also talked about the infusion of JUCO talent and how with this dramatic of a change that immediate help is needed.
He also said that he really likes Zac Taylor and has him in his top 5 QB's for next year. He also talked about how important ZT is to this offense and how JD just wasn't what Callahan was looking for but instead of changing his offense to suit the QB he hoped that Dailey could grow in it and that way at least the rest of the offense could start to get a grasp.
With all the crap the Big 12 gets from ESPN I just thought it was nice that someone finally gives a little props to the Huskers.
