Phillips and DeLuca

Would have never seen the field on Nebraska’s lights out defenses the last couple years.

I said on FB a few months ago, that it is possible that there will be more native Nebraskans who played at other schools drafted than there will be Husker players.

Sad thing is there were some people defending Pelini for not taking Deluca because he was considered a sub par player.

Who knows if they would have developed here like they did at the schools they went to.

From what seems apparent, they likely may not have.

So true.

I think that is true in a lot of cases. Looking at, years ago, Danny Woodhead. He may have been denied much of an opportunity at NU whereas he played a ton at Chadron State and developed his game and confidence there. In the case of DeLuca and Phillips, I doubt it though as it's been obvious from the start that the NU coaches missed horribly on those two (and several other in-state prospects). I never understood the slow playing of in-state kids approach-- offer late maybe, hope they walk on. If NU were recruiting at a high level, it would make sense, but that was far from the case.

We could have had a lot of really good players and depth.
Thanks Bo, and to a lesser extent riley

That is beside the point! I just came here to drink some beer, and ***** about Pelini. And it looks like we are almost out of beer!
