McBurse's video looks better to me then D. Robinson's video. But again Robinson is much bigger and plays behind a stacked o-line (worried about that). Also you can't discount the HS numbers he's putting up. Add that to the numbers with QB Cody Green and looks to be an potential excellent backfield.
Hopefully the kid likes it here and he wants to play ball at NU. We were really close with Mike Ford from the central Florida area and he's a stud rb at South Florida.
I hope we continue getting guys from the Speed state. NU has always done well with Florida guys. I can't think of many that haven't come and not started for us.
It's still perplexing to me why you wouldn't want to come to NU to play tailback. While it's not the old school tailback of old, Lucky, B. Jackson, C. Ross are all/will be in the NFL. While C. Buchhalter and A. Green are still playing as well. Only 1 starting NU RB, D. Diedrick, didn't go onto the NFL in like forever. He's up in Canada playing ball though.

Looks like he'd be a good RB to have. I wonder if his limited number of receptions is a result of the offense they run or if he needs to work on his catching skills?
On the video he looks like a pretty good receiver. Looks like the offense is run oriented. Leading WR has 9 catches. QB has 76 PA with 32 PC according to this site:

His video does seem a bit odd. His legs don't seem to be moving very fast, yet he is pulling away from everyone in sight.
You don't think he's moving that fast, but he's faster than everyone else on the field. Almost as if he's gliding down the field.

If Al-Terek is worried about fan support, he will never have to worry about that at Nebraska. If he can stand some cold weather, I am sure he will love EVERYTHING else about Nebraska.
I would LOVE for this kid to tell the world Lincoln is the place he will be playing for the next 4-5 years so he can tear up some other B12 defenses. Here is to hoping!

What's great about Al-Terek is that his most intriguing quality is his upside. He has an excellent frame, and once he gets some college S&C, who knows what he could achieve.
I got it now, I know who he reminds me of, Bobby Purify from Colorado. Both have very similar strides and didn't look overwhelmingly fast on film/TV, yet defenders didn't make up too much ground on them. Purify, like McBurse also had that somewhat upright running style and knew when to cut back.
Considering that less than 25% of the NFL RB's have legit 4.42 speed, I doubt it.
He looks plenty fast and looks like a great back --- of that there is no doubt. But if he had legit 4.42 speed he would be among the fastest track athletes in Florida. 4.42 is a number people throw out routinely but that kind of speed is very, very rare. There probably isn't more than a few dozen HS football players in the nation with that kind of electronic speed.
