It's funny that some Huskers fans seem to think OWH is too critical of the guys in Lincoln. I guess in comparison with the fluff from the LJS, it is.
Solid pick ups by UNL today, though, even if both guys are realistically about the same level of prospect as guys Doc and Barry signed (I'm sure the same fans who used to love Doc would tell you that these two players are better, and Fuller may prove to be a slight step up). Nebrasketball's got a long way to go, but is very likely to move up 2 to 4 spots in the Big 10 with their new facilities. However, I see very little correlation of what they do with what we do, other than that I'd rather play an NIT or better caliber team once a year than the squad we faced last season and will be facing again this fall.
Both these guys ARE solid players. Better than the standard UNL lot. Hawkins has had a great spring / summer with the Dallas Mustangs - he is rated as a Rivals 3 star, and the #13 player in Texas (right behind our guy, Marcus Foster).
We all know Fuller is a good player, as well. Great gets by the skers...

To be fair, recruiting is all about potential. Then you have to actually coach them, and so far nothing suggests Miles is remotely capable.

If this isn't an anal-retentiveness record for digging up old quotes, I don't know what would be. Are any of us safe?

Settle down. It's a joke. I thought it was funny going back and looking at what all of us said in recruiting of players. You don't want to look at the Zierden thread.
