That was usually the case, but I wouldn't say it was true with Ameer's situation.
Maybe not with guys on the roster, although Rex was there. But in regards to incoming talent he was viewed as the 3rd best out of the three we signed that year.

Don't you mean GREENer? :stickouttongue:
LOL. True. Although, he's done quite well at TCU. Probably ended up being a good move for him.
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.
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.

True, but the comment I was replying to was in regards to great competition breeding great RBs. Green and Heard left too early to meet that criteria. Ameer didn't have it for his last two years, but he was still great. He's just an exception to the general rule.
