Was on the sidelines against Minnesota why he didn’t have any snaps is another matter..
I've mentioned this several times. Cam Taylor and Damion Daniels are our best players. Jojo, Honas, and Stille do a lot of good things on defense. On the offensive side, I've called Betts our best receiver. I've said Allen was improved. I think AM and LM would do a lot better with better coaching. If you're not paying attention when I mention those guys, that's your problem.
I don't have any reason to favor one guy over another. I form my opinions based on what I see on the field, and what I've seen from Hickman has been less than impressive.
Really the 247 composite ranking is the way to go. It takes 247, Rivals and ESPN rankings. Rivals on its own is less reliable, two years ago they gave a 3 star ranking to a recruit that didn’t exist. Someone created a Twitter account, claimed a kid (who didn’t exist) had a Bama offer and Rivals gave the imaginary kid 3 stars. They obviously gave a ranking without even watching film because there was none.
Regardless, rankings are all subjective. Huskers sound happy with the class.
I’m excited to see which random walk on shows up and takes their spots for whatever reason
Hickman does play but only on run packages. When I see him that’s a dead giveaway that we’re running. Since we don’t like to run the ball that would explain why he’s not in the game much.
I’m not saying you’re right or wrong, but if anyone is gonna trash players’ abilities, there’s no one more consistent than you. You’ve got a running list and anytime anyone hints that someone on your crap list is any good you make sure to address it. That’s all.
It's the easiest way to evaluate players and the team's performance. I'm not going to pretend like I know the specific play calls each and every play, but I know what good football looks like and I know what bad football looks like. The guy has gotten plenty of chances to play in the red zone and I've seen him whiff on blocks more times than not.
His film is pretty ridiculous. Dude has a high motor and plays with a nasty attitude. Great size and speed. I think he is the gem of this class.
The better coaches in college tend to smile at the rankings. They know the ranking are 98% based on program reputation. Which isn't really a bad thing. Programs get their reputation by knowing how to identify talent.
247 has 7 B1G teams in the top 25. That's half the conference, pretty darn good.

The only problem with that is that ESPN is so bad at this. Their ratings can be real head scratchers.
