We need a RB or two in this class Bad!
- Thread starter 4-3 D
- Start date
Jones is very possible. Even if we don’t land one today there are going to be lots of RBs available later this cycle. So far it sounds like our top 3 RBs seem like they’re staying
It will be interesting to see what happens with Allen when Applewhite gets hired in January.
Grant
Allen
Irvin
E. Johnson
R. Johnson
Ives
That’s six. At one time I came up with seven. I think that was after Barnes committed, so it probably included Yant.
Yeah forgot Emmett Johnson. 5 is probably a good number. We’ve got a couple of walk ons who are pretty darned good backs who should probably be shopping for an FCS offer. Would be nice if one or two of them could build themselves in to a fullback

Jones would be 7, but I think he’s Georgia bound.
Ives could play multiple positions. I kind of wonder if he won’t start out in the slot.
Ives isn't very good. He'll be another guy who simply takes up a scholarship - no different than Emmitt Johnson from Minnesota
GTFO. You haven’t watched a second of this kid playing football.
Sharp just said Nebraska’s getting a WR name is Josh Fleeks out of the portal from Baylor..

Yep, saw him play in Oct. Not overly impressed. Should be at Temple or a MAC school
Josh Fleeks. Not sure why. He's played 5 years at Baylor and only has 29 carries for 88 yards in 5 years. Hopefully a walk-on?
I have a feeling Brody Belt is going to get more featured time in Rhule's offense. He seems like exactly the kind of kid that Rhule goes after. To be honest, I think the kid should be playing a lot more too. He's always productive.
Very fast guy moving back to WR. His best year was when Rhule was his coach.

I remember him as a recruit. One of the fastest guys in the country. Frost wanted him bad, but Rhule pulled out all the stops to keep him.
I’m a little shocked he hasn’t had a better career. It does look like he was a bigger part of the plan under Rhule, with a couple hundred yards receiving and a couple hundred returning kicks his first two years.
Sean Callahan mentions Fleeks as a RB. So he must have switched to WR. But the guy is athletic and very fast. 10.46 100'.
For some reason (need?) Baylor moved him to RB after Rhule left. He’s going to be a WR for NU. Playmaker
Several options. Not sure if Turner is big enough yet but these kids are going to change physically over the next 2 years.
A playmaker would have better stats regardless of position. Past production is the best indicator of future production. I think you might be onto something with the kick returner, but this kid should not be using a scholarship IMO.
His numbers as a true freshman under Rhule suggest he’s worth a scholarship. He’s not a long term solution. We need several WRs ready to play.
dingle, enough of that talk. LOL
NU is about to get it going, really hope he stays and can operate at some point behind a real OL.
IF CT is our starting QB there isn’t going to be 10 QB run plays called.I know Casey hasn't been durable during his career, but I think he could handle 15 carries a game
But we did get the transfer qb who's supposed to have legit speed. Could be TMart 2.0.
I hope he stays too but his connection to Applewhite is the elephant in the room. IF Applewhite lands at a P5 team it might get interesting.
To be honest, I watched his film and wasn't impressed. But, I'd be glad to see him wind up in Lincoln.
Of all the fast dudes NU signed, this is the fastest of the fast. By quite a bit.
