GOOD NEWS IS THAT THEIR SEEMS TO BE SOME TALENT BY THE NUMBERS. THERE'S ONLY 2 HOME GROWN ON THE LIST
What did the 71 and 95 rosters look like AJ with regards to the # of home grown Huskers? This can't be going over really well with the high school coaches in Neb though. I wonder where they are pointing their kids for college football? Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, the Dakotas? Terry

Here's a link to the last NC's team of 1997. Quite a few homegrowns here to include a lot were starters. 1997 HUSKERS
8) I saw Lawrence Phillips play for Baldwin Park in high school. He did not live in West Covina and Baldwin Park isn't in West Covina anyway. Its in Baldwin Park...
I believe ya JOCO. To my knowledge, he was raised in a foster home, so they probably just listed his home town?
8) You're right Husker. Phillips was raised all over the place with various family members and in foster homes. As his football reputation grew, he became a hot commodity and it was arranged for him to play at Baldwin Park...
