Only to differentiate between tOSU, Okie light, & Oregon State.
If everyone who has been checking this thread was holding their breath for a decision, we probably would have solved global warming by now.
I am sure I will take a little heat, again, but IF he commits to Nebraska, and yes obviously he has talent, but let the kid get acclimated to the college game before we anoint him the next great back. It may happen right away, it could take 4 games it may never happen.
Uhhh, yes some have. It's the nature of fans to want the next great freshman to show up and save the team. RB May be the one position that's possible, but I'll say again I've seen nothing to suggest he's obviously better than Cross, Newby, Taylor, or Wilbon, all VHR recruits in their own rights.
I was actually trying to be funny, but adding Emoticons probably would make that more clear. Sorry.
Have you even watched his highlights? If you actually have I don't think you would be asking these questions.
No one said, that I am aware of, that he is going to come in and be the starter. I full expect him to compete for playing time though.

I'm not going to get into the conversation about Stevenson's talent or how Jordan compares to the gentleman currently on the roster. It's purely conjecture at this point and I'm the last person you'd want judging talent and if someone should or shouldn't start. That's why we have a professional coaching staff. The thing that's exciting for me is that this raises the level of intensity in the competition in the running back room. We don't have a clear cut starter and everyone is going to be giving maximum effort in fall camp.
If you look at all of the great running backs in the history of Nebraska, one defining characteristic was the level of competition on the depth chart. The running back room was stacked with any number of backs that could start on any other team.

That was usually the case, but I wouldn't say it was true with Ameer's situation.
Ameer was the exception to the rule.
I think the best example of this was Rozier/ Craig and Phillips/Green. One of my proudest moments to be a Husker was when ROger Craig was named probowl starter for the NFC and Rozier was named the starter for the AFC. I also loved shooting down the theory that TO let LP come back just so he could win a National Championship. I usually retort, "You do realize that while he was out that Ahman Green filled in for him correct?" Their response was usually "Oh I did not know that." Argument over.
Or you could make the case the other two more high profile running back left for what they perceived greener pastures.
Don't you mean GREENer? :stickouttongue:
