Emmitt Smith
Gayle Sayers
When Burrow was coming out of high school he wanted to come here. Who was our coach at the time and who was the QB that the coach wanted instead? I'm thinking Pelini and the QB was Kevin Dillman?? Anyone remember?
Marshall Faulk was another one. Could have had him, but wanted him to play DB because we had Calvin Jones coming in. Whoops.
That is correct. Tim Beck was OC at the time.
Michah Parsons was another fairly recent miss who strongly considered us. Total difference maker. Can't recall if that was latter stage of Riley or early Frost.
I thought it was because of Terry Rogers
Nope. Rodgers' first year at Nebraska was 1986. Faulk's first year at SDSU was 1991.

I thought that was Barry Sanders because HCTO didn't want two smaller rb's in one class.
That may have been it.
Correct that Sanders was in the same class as Rodgers. As great as Osborne was, Sanders and Faulk were 2 pretty big misses. Obviously all the other bigtime programs then missed as well; Sanders' offer sheet was very small, and Faulk went to SDSU.
