I'm pulling for HH to come in and light up the TE room. Great athlete and consummate team player.

HH starting at TE would mean a lot of bad things have happened to our TE room. He's an athlete but lots of very talented TE's in the room
Not so dire if you consider he may be the best straight-line runner/blocker in the room.
It's not like we're gonna play 1 TE. They might name a starter, or there might be 3 "or" guys named. It's so package dependent. And I'm completely overlooking Markway in saying that, which is crazy. I finally trust the OC to put the best guy in the best situation.
And one must not forget that schools like Notre Dame and Georgia saw that kid and wanted him in their program very badly. I'm excited about the tight ends. Should be one of our strongest positions this year.
Rhule - we don’t have a lot of time to coach effort. I’d say the top line/key rotational guys are known, but the competition to be a 2 or 3 on the depth chart will be fierce. It doesn’t seem like they’re gonna wait around to see who is ready to play and knows the playbook.
Nebraska Football Recruiting: Alabama comes calling for Ainsworth Husker prospect
Nebraska football recruiting efforts ran into one heck of an adversary in its pursuits for Ainsworth's Carter Nelson now that Alabama has offered him.

I didn't hear that, but it's quite possible. Seems like everyone viewed him as a kid who was well worth the effort to go see. That kind of universal approval makes me think this kid will really come on this year.
I love how our local beat writers report stuff without knowing what they are actually saying. 21 mph is Saquon Barkley territory. So one of our backup TEs is actually that fast? LOL.
I think Barkley has been clocked over that during an actual game. Assume he would be quicker with track style equipment and surface - I’m wondering if that was the example they referred to.
Maybe. Because for a couple years now, NU has released mph numbers that do not sound realistic.
It does seem either totally unrealistic or so taken out of context that it's meaningless when facts like this exist:
Super pumped for this season. Sounds like we are off to a great start in Fall camp. I really hope Kwinten Ives and Demetrius Bell can stay healthy.
Notice how (almost) all the receivers carry the ball high on their sternums after they catch the ball. It is the little details that will hopefully win games.
The staff has talked about the cameras being able to get the qb view as well as the audio hearing leadership and communication in the huddle.
I'm know this has been covered but if I want to read the Inside Nebraska crew's coverage and get access to their paid board, but I don't care about the On3 crew's coverage or their board, how do I subscribe to the Inside Nebraska stuff? When I click on Steve and Zack's articles it gives me an option to subscribe to On3... this whole merger thing is so convoluted haha
He only took an unofficial visit to Alabama. I don’t think Alabama was a serious contender. It was ND and Georgia.
Also Ty Robinson ran 20.6 mph at the combine. Its totally different without pads
I did see some of the fast dudes were running like 24mph. That's Forrest Gumpian.
I will be very pleasantly surprised if Teddy can earn significant PT.
Same.
I think everything says on3 now. I’m assuming the link from the Inside forum will be for these guys.
TBH, I’m holding out in hopes of a special price during August.
At this point of the season, the links @HBK4life_rivals100467 is posting probably provide as much info as any of the actual staff are reporting.
Thank you HBK!
Maybe best straight line runner but Nelson will give him a run for his money in that category. DEFINITELY not the best blocker in the room.
Great athlete for sure though.
Holla
The difference is how long it takes them to hit 21 mph. Barkley’s change of direction and acceleration are other worldly. Top end speed is one thing. Getting there in as few steps as possible is another.
Yeah, but I'm also not going to think that our 2nd team inline tight end less than a year off an ACL is just a blink of an eye slower than Saquan or any of the other fastest guys in the NFL.
That was what made Taylor Martinez so special. His top end speed may not have been elite, but his ability to get there in two steps definitely was.
It’s still impressive to get that much mass going that fast.
