Deondre Jackson not N

If he's ending up at a good program like Poke State, frost has all kinds of egg on his face, imo
I don't know. Once Grant was N was when we pulled back on this kid. I would rather have Grant than this kid.

I don't see any evidence suggesting he was going to be better than your 5th string RB. I don't see any evidence suggesting he is better than any of our top 4 and I know they are very excited about Allen.

I have no clue what Ok State situation is. Maybe they are really desperate for a depth RB?

Also look at our RB room....
  1. Johnson
  2. Yant
  3. Grant
  4. Ervin
  5. Stepp
  6. Allen
  7. E. Johnson
He is at best in that 5th back range. If we lost Stepp I still don't see how you take him. You have a lot of RBs.

Hard to have egg on your face when essentially every Husker fan was screaming that this was a stupid offer to begin with and he wasn't any better than Yant.
 
I'm surprised a ranked program like Oklahoma St went after him. He was a player I did not think looked like he was a Power5 level RB. Maybe if we used a FB you could slide him in there but he didn't look like he had the speed or moves to get through a hole quickly. Even big backs are small when a 325 lb linemen is hitting them. Need to be able to get that size downhill and beating on the LB's and D Backs. Hopefully he has a good career and proves us wrong. Signing Grant makes much more sense to me when it comes to skills needed for our offense.
