I mentioned that Will Henry is listed at 6'6".  Two other WRs are listed on the
recruit list as 6'4": Purify and Holt.  It's always a gamble as to how they
will turn out, but I really like this trend of going after tall receivers. 
With Todd Peterson (6'4") and Chris Brooks (6'2") they have some receivers in
the mix that could strike fear among 5'10" and shorter DBs next season.  A
receiving corps with height and speed and experience, particularly if a couple
newcomers pan out well in their first year, is something that I can't remember
the Huskers ever having.  Granted, they haven't recruited in that direction in
the past, but still...for years you saw Roy Williams and the like tearing apart
college secondaries.  It would be great to see this at NU.

And, I heard that Henry was considering going to a military academy but he saw a
recruiting video in which the voice kept saying, "Fire at will!"  ;)
