Things I know, and things I think I know:
Nebraska linebackers coach Trent Bray should be regarded as a rising star in his profession.
Tom Banderas strongly backs that notion.
The father of NU senior linebacker Josh Banderas recently spoke of Bray's value during a "round-table" discussion on various aspects of the Husker program for the "Sharp and Benning" radio show (1620 AM).
The 33-year-old Bray is all about positive energy.
Plus, "He's an excellent X's and O's guy," the elder Banderas said. "He really looks his guys in the face. I'm really jealous, I really am, that we've had some veteran guys like Marcus Newby and (Michael) Rose-Ivey and Josh who have missed out on two years of that coaching.
