Some recruiting news for those who give a shit

That I can't argue with, simply because Lucky was never healthy mentally or physically while with the team. I loved both players though.

as it should be. Every Husker is deserving of fan affection no matter their role.

Lucky was a great back for short little dump passes out of the backfield. In fact he was one of the best we had in years at making that little dump pass work. But he wasn't an overall great running back. He had decent vision, but showed little explosiveness, and was willing to go down if a defender was willing to touch him.

I think his vision is what allowed him to make those little passes work because by the time he caught the ball he was in the open field and he just had to make people miss. Straight out of the backfield he wasn't much of a power running back.

its true Lucky would have gone in the 40's if he had gone after his jr year

he is simply a scheme back, he was very good in one scheme, he had over 1000 yards rushing and over 700 receiving

thats impressive

I hope your not serious...I never understood why people dog him so much, he was a lock down guy minus a few games. Played great considering he was a 5'9" number 2 kind of corner, forced to cover number one receivers.

I think my deal with him was the way he was used, yes I am aware that he was a phenomenal athlete, but the coaching and play calling set him up to fail... I'm going to blame it on Cosgrove

grixby according to prince is the best athlete he has ever played with

Mendoza was supposed to be a tremendous athlete at RB....

Lots of players were supposed to be tremendous athletes and never proved any good.
