Sorry, it was Terrel. 17 tackles, 11 are solo.
Team has some young players with quality potential.
Trouble is that over the past few years a lot of good players have gone and most of the guys who have stayed have significantly failed to improve and develop.
Outside of Solder and the CBs, name five other players on this team who are Srs or Jrs who are significantly better football players than they were as Frosh.
Much easier question. Name five guys who actually seem to have declined on the field in the past year or two.
I can't complain (well actually I can but it isn't close to the main one) about the guys who have been brought in over the past 3-4 years. My biggest issue is that under the Hawkins regime nobody ever seemed to get better.
Nebraska has recruited well but they also had a lot of guys on the field today who weren't highly touted coming out of HS who have just plain gotten better and are put into positions to take advantage of the skills they have. Same can be said for most of the quality teams in the country.
Four and five star recruits are important, I'll take all the PRich's, Kasa's, Miller's etc. we can get. Just as important are guys who play like they should have been four and five stars and that is what we don't have enough of.

The hope is that a new coach can come in, get the most out of the talent we have without having to "reinvent" the system too much to confuse the players.
However, Size/Strength in the trenches and Speed on the outside can't be coached, and we don't seem to have enough of either on either side of the ball to have too high of hopes next season.

Same thing that started happening under coach Gnu. You'd see guys coming in as frosh and saying, wow they're really going to be beasts 4-5 yrs from now after they put on 30-40 lbs of muscle. Just never happened under him or hawk. A few guys here and there, but mostly not. Either a motivation problem, or the staff doesn't know how to develop bodies for the OL/DL.
Recruiting was patchy. Hawk's recruiting was outstanding in some areas, but just as bad in other spots. Mainly not enough speed on the field. So glad we're moving on.
