[Husker] Honk If You Want to Play DB

[Dick Karre]

If I understand your position, you are saying that the junior college
players who came in under TO were good guys because they came in under TO.
The implication (from your prior statement that JCs are merely "hired guns")
must be that any JCs recruited by Callahan are less worthy because Callahan
recruited them.
