You guys!!!!!!! Newby committed!!!!

 

[Snick]

Next 3 on my wish list are

1) Willis
2) Clark
3) Cochran


Probably take up to 7 more.....

Reggie was the number 2 player in the country and the number 1 RB out of HS.

No one has looked as good as Reggie out of HS IMO. Not even AP.

im aware of that...im talking about style though. elite RB outside of the tackles and great receiver out of the backfield

I can think of more fair comparisons though.

Like maybe Jahvid Best.

I like Heard a lot. Hopefully he'll get a fair shake next season.

If there's anyone who looks a lot like a current NFL player it's him.

Reminds me of DeMarco Murray.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Heard is going to be a beast I cant wait to let him off the chain

 

[iruletheskool]

Couldnt think of who he reminded me of.. all yer guise's comparisons were off.. ima say Steve Slaton is a goodn i stoled from elsewheres

 

[Brasky]

all yer guise's comparisons were off..

Track speed, shifty, same build, eerily similar stride.

 

[Brasky]

Slaton is prob the best comparison though. They have close to identical running styles.

 

[Brasky]

I would say Newby's game is actually more complete coming out of HS than a lot of these ridiculous backs we are talking about

 

[iruletheskool]

yea i can see Best.. didn't see ye post that at first..



Newby has all the potential.. and certainly looks better on vids than Aaron Green did cause that's where this conversation has to go next

I was thinkin the same thing

Green was a glorified slot reciever who shied away from contact whenever possible.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

When did Green ever really look like a Running Back in his High School videos? I remember arguing with folks that Abdullah looked like way more of a RB than Green.......but the stars got in thee way and everyone was fooled.

You don't have to tell me. I was a huge fan before we even offered him.

Dat Marlon Lucky hype.

 

[HuskerPower52]

I was stoked to get green. But once I saw Ameer I was hooked. In ameer HS film I have never seen a more fluid running back. He can cut without losing speed. Ameer will be great here

 

[Brasky]

I am ashamed to admit I was one of the people who completely bought into the hype.

A few years ago we would all be shitting our pants over Newby, but now he is just another good addition to the backfield.

It's funny because Braylon is actually the most highly touted of all of them.

 

[Brasky]

DB watches practices. He still thinks Braylon is the most gifted RB they've got and he doesn't understand why he hasn't gotten more playing time.

 

[iruletheskool]

Ameer drops the ball every 3rd touch.
