Reminds me of last season's preseason rankings being lauded, I'd much rather have the team being lauded AFTER the year has been completed with success in the NCAA's. Being 'underrated' has been a specialty of the Shields family. Dad's now in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Son could be following a path to greatness, too; can't wait to find out how high of a level Shavon leads Nebrasketball. Was Will Shields ever truly underrated? He was an all america and several time Pro-bowler (where a large percentage of the votes were from peer players and opposing coaches). I don't think Will was really underrated at all, especially not in his pro career where he was considered one of the best players at his position throughout his entire career. Yes, Will was fairly unknown and, thus, underrated out of H.S. from tiny Lawton, OK. He worked his way up through the ranks to finally gain notoriety at NU & was only a third round pick in the NFL. In K.C. Will came in as an injury replacement in the Chiefs lineup in their 1st game of the season. Definitely underrated at points along the path of each step of his career, but Will clearly worked his tail off to get better & better. That seems fairly familiar with some of the things that Shavon has done (albeit not to the same level of success, to this point). Being "underrated" does not equate to being untalented.

At least his leg doesn't bend backwards.

Several posters on here diagnosed Jorge Brian with pussitis. Not sure if that's a medical term ...
