not much of one. Most interesting little tidbit I've come across is that Joe Robinson still has Nebraska at number one, but said he'd wait to commit till signing day.

I don't know if the coaches cooled off on him to hold out for quanzell lambert or what, but we only have room for one more LB.

I heard he moved AZ up to his #1, unless they denied him like Oregon did. I can see us with 3 or 4 LB's in this class

I think 3 is garanteed. Four is a maybe but I think 3 is a very legitimate number.

I fear our DB's may not be on the showcase as well in the B1G

Hosely @ 5-10 170 must be a baller at that weight to be AA and a JR

We can agree on 3, if Carl can get a good 4th I think he will put him in the bag. If not, next year will be a heavy LB class as well, probably will be regardless

Everything I read indicates they only take 2 LB's in this class..

They are limited obviously with this class. After this year and next year we will have lost 9 LB's, all the rest are Frosh this year, 1 of those is Red Shirt

leaving us with 2 LB's on ship, not including what we ink this year

I'm a little disappointed the coaches haven't mentioned Whaley much. They went to him first when fisher/compton went down early last year and I thought he looked good out there.

He def looks the part.

Was just readin that Brione has locked up the backup job but Bo says he is inconsistent.

Hope he keeps his head in the play book. Prob gonna need him to step up at some point this season.

Carl, a few days ago mentions Alonzo

One name you should get to know: Trevor Roach. The walk-on redshirt freshman from Elkhorn has been making an impression since he arrived on campus. I've heard his name dropped by coaches in conversations more than a few times over the last year.

He's among those trying to make a push at linebacker to provide some depth.

"Roach had a great camp," Pelini said. "He's a little banged up right now, playing through an injury. (Mathew) May was really coming, really made huge strides during the spring and summer and then the hamstring slowed him a little bit. So we need to keep developing those two guys. And (Graham) Stoddard, (Alonzo) Whaley have been playing really well the last couple days, playing more physical, starting to get more comfortable on the defense. So the depth is coming there. Coach (Ross) Els is doing a great job."

Agree with Brasky here. He is definitely going to see the field this year so he better get his shit together, there is no way Tito can take every snap all year. Brion is going to have to step in at some point as a reliever if anything, maybe the real thing will make it sink in for him instead of just practice

Definately agree, I think that our offense may be surprised by the number of physical D s in the B1G. Could be bruised up pretty good by seasons end.

Agreed and IMO a Tito/Carnes dual threat would be a hell of a one two punch if they were both playing at a high level.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE cARNES RUN SOME TRIPLE OPTION AFTER T-Mart runs a defenses ass off.

In Brions defense he in still just RsFr, and we can throw last years knowledge of the offensive scheme out the window

Ya and I dont want to see him thrown to the wolves like we ve done in the past. He has plenty of time to hone his skills as long as the o line does its thing.
