[Husker Hunyock]

Running back from North Hall High, Gainesville Georgia.

Nice big back with some wheels.

Granted, these are highlights, but some good clips.
He's got some nice moves and does a good job of staying upright after getting hit.

He does seem to have power and speed. I'd like to see him against 8A competition though. Is there any allstar game footage of him?

Bad news is that Aaron Curry is out. This might mean that Vincent Valentine is a silent commit.

And I see where Peat added USC to the mix. Does smart money bet on U$$$C?

I'm not sure the smart money bets on USC, but smart money has bought USC players in the past.

He's N.

But likely losing Lambert and Curry to Iowa because we're unwilling to tell scrubs like Pensick or Kreikemeier to hit the road is disappointing.

You realize that Tom never told guys to hit the road, right? Not saying that it's right, but you do hold Tom in higher regard than Bo, so to judge Bo based on him not cutting slack is a little unfair.

Our decision to take a RB in the 12 class makes more sense now that Braylon Heard has switched to DB.

So, you really don't like it when coaches honor their commitment to a kid. Nice.

That was probably the worst thing I hated about Callahan. You promise their parents that you will look out for these kids and if they don't pan out they are forced out. I would be ashamed of winning conference and national titles if we went about it that way.

Last I checked academic and athletic scholarships are year to year. Are you suggesting that when NU yanks an academic scholarship from Billy for getting a 2.0 on his report card that they owe it to Billy's mom and dad to keep him around for four years so ge can continue to blow tree in his dorm room?

Folks, we're in the Big10 now. The conference has the strictest restrictions on oversigning of any conference out there. We could not do the SEC shuffle if we wanted to because of the conference's recruiting rules. We cannot accept LOIs from players which would put us over the 85 scholarship limit without petitioning the conference, and when doing so we have to give a full accounting of why we are over and how that will change. We actually cannot have outstanding offers to players which would put us over the cap either without fully disclosing why we are in this position... And, surprise, but telling the conference that a kid just didn't live up to his rivals star rating isn't going to get any petitions approved. The very clear intention here is to prevent that from happening.

Last fall the NCAA changed some rules on recruiting, schools can now offer 4 year scholarships instead of scholarships which renew yearly. Many schools are evaluating changing how athletic scholarships are offered.

Damn you coop, stop making sense, this is not the place for well thought out posts.

I hate it when someone steps into the fray with facts. Damn you, I say!

NU does have limited permission to oversign, btw,.
