Cornhuskers' Junior Day Attendees

by BoVandy on Feb 6, 2009 8:13 AM CST in Nebraska Husker Recruiting

While the 2009 class is officially signed, sealed, and delivered; the recruiting season is never really over.

This Saturday, Nebraska will host it's first "Junior Day". Some of the better players in the class of 2010 will be visiting Lincoln, so that the coaches can check out the players they'll be recruiting over the next year.

It's also a way for the recruits to see the school without usual an "official visit" so it's a bonus day for everybody.

Here's a list of players that are expected.

James Kohler

Jared Barnett

Of the guys coming in on Saturday....

Keeston Terry is the big get. He’s already ranked as a four star who Kansas and Kansas State want very badly

265 pounds! One big quarterback! Probably a DT prospect?

As a QB his stats are 246 yards rushing and 4 tds and 535 yards passing and 3 tds and 2 ints.

A number of DT recruits,

that’s not surprising. I’ve noticed that some of the DT recruits are around 250-260 lb range. Seems small to me, but I guess they beef them up to 280 or so. That seems kind of small too, but looks like BO prefers ‘lean and mean’ on his defensive lines, except for a guy like Suh who is extremely athletic for a 300 pounder.

I Hope Keeston

doesn’t fall for the MU/KU thing and sees the light and comes to NE. Pinkel, Mangino, or BO: the right choice is obvious.

Stephen Hopkins

Looks like another bruiser type guy, ala Quentin Castille. 220 lbs, could beef up more, 4.6 40, just like Q. Some high profile schools are on his interest list:

COLLEGE CHOICES INTEREST OFFER VISIT RECRUITED BY
Michigan State Medium None
Nebraska Medium None
Notre Dame Medium None
Oklahoma Medium None
Oregon Medium None
Stanford Medium None
Texas Medium None
Texas A&M Medium None
Texas Tech Medium None
SMU Medium None Dennis McKnight
TCU Medium
