Gotta be quick to catch a gazelleI said official time at a camp was 4.49 you auto corrected to 4.42 to try and make your eye argument more sound...interesting.

If his health holds, what the doctor orderedI’m really excited about this guy. I definitely like a bigger power back. Obviously like most of you I prefer power running and option football. So excited for a kid his size on short yardage.
Yep because your eyes are much better than the actual stop watches on the electronic timing devices he was timed on. :Rolleyes: He was electronically timed at 4.49. That is the same process the NFL uses in the combine.
Just go look at the video of him, maybe at one time he was 4.49, when he was younger and a whole lot lighter, his original recruit weight was 205, well he is 235-240 now. The video will show his speed, he wasnt leaving anyone behind, not DE or LB. Now if he were to trim back to 215-220 he can still be a hammer, but maybe just a step faster, which he needs.
Yep I pointed out in another thread that Wan’Dale was listed at 4.2 coming out of high school. As other posters pointed out he isn’t 4.2Well, he is listed at either 4.42 or 4.49 on the internet, and we all know the internet is never wrong...or that these athletes never pad their stats. It doesn't matter what our eyes tell us.
Although if this past season is a reference, Nebraska running backs carried the ball fewer times per game than USC running backs.
USC had 26.7 rushes by RBs per game in 2020.
Nebraska had 21.0 rushes by RBs per game in 2020 -- if you count Wan'Dale as a RB. If not, 15.3 per game. Either way, significantly fewer than USC.
Maybe the Nebraska staff convinced him things would change in that regard in 2021.
I'm kind of over watching short yardage runs. You know, ones with poor blocking and no hole for the RB to get thru.I’m really excited about this guy. I definitely like a bigger power back.

Wandale is quik, prob 4.5 speed, but his sudden quikness improves that 4.5 quite a bit

I'm ready for someone to break out on long yardage runs!
That could be Markese Stepp, the 6-foot, 235-pound running back who arrived this week from USC. Stepp, who is not a grad transfer, must get an NCAA waiver to be eligible. But in this year of COVID-19, it could happen.
In Covid year almost a sure thing.I thought transfers no longer have to sit out a year? Yet the quote below was in the Shatel OWH article I just read? So all these players moving around via the portal have to sit out a year unless they are grad students or get a waiver from the NCAA? What's the correct answer?
Shatel: Blackshirts could provide needed stability as Scott Frost's offense finds footing
Just another boring week for Nebraska football. Tom Shatel touched on the bad news earlier this week. Now, let’s look at the good news for Scott Frost and the Huskers.omaha.com
My guess is that to help with his speed a bit they might have him trim 10lbs or so from that 235.Me too. Even though I question Stepp's stated time of 4.42, (I think it is closer to 4.6) I think a big back who runs a 4.6 can help this offense. Heck, Scott Frost ran a 4.6 when he was in college and he was a pretty good runner.
I think what would help this offense even more is someone like Ameer Abdullah. Abdullah was great at finding small creases and making yards when it didn't look like there was any space to run. We need a back like that given our issues with the offensive line.
