He's a nice kid, too.  I ran into him over at Hendricks this summer.  He was walking around in Husker shorts and tank but, SHOCKINGLY, he was wearing Air Jordans shoes.  Dammit, this is an adidas school!  I thought kids were required to throw away all of their Nike gear before they could enroll.

 

I worry a little bit that he might become homesick ala Nate Hawkins though...judging by his tweets this summer.

 

 

UNL/Lincoln can be a very lonely place during the summer.    Once all the students move back in the fall I think he'll be fine.

2015-16 will be interesting with Smith, Webster, Watson, and Parker all battling for playing time.

 

 

That's a GREAT problem to have.  Keeps everybody working hard.  I remember early in Doc's tenure the biggest thing he said hurt them was that the practices weren't as competitive as they needed to be and players got complacent.

Can anyone give a run down? Not working on my phone.  Thanks

 

He basically said that Miles said he has been impressed with Smith and how he handles pressure and makes the right decisions.  Mentioned recruiting him in New Jersey showing that NU is putting its blue print all over.  Didn't say Smith would start, but will have a good shot at it.

-Tarin Smith has impressed coach Miles early on, he'll likely be talked about at the Press Conference

-Looking at Smith to be the team's "quarterback" with comparisons to Peyton Manning and Donavan McNabb

-From New Jersey, demonstrates Nebraska's ability to recruit nationally

-Shows good ability to control the offense and get the ball where it needs to go, also handles perimeter pressure well

-Too early to tell if he'll be a starter, but he's in contention

 

Then a bunch of boring crap about Memphis and Steve Fischer

Thank you.  I couldn't get audio on the vid this morning.

I would venture Smith/Parker, Webster, Petteway, Shields, Pitchford. This is the best lineup.

I would agree with this. It was the best lineup we had last year. Off bench will be Moses, Benny, fuller, rivers. They are going to do everything they can to still red shirt Hammond.

 

Hammond expects to play this year.
