favors us, okie state, and aTm.

[husker rob]

i think that he is going to be the back up plan if TR goes to ND

[Hunter94]

i think he should come on board, regardless what Trevor decides.

[Overland Park Husker]

i think he should come on board, regardless what Trevor decides.

No one should have to be a backup plan, but I'd like to have this kid cause I don't think Henry is going to make it

[MadcatNU]

I thought we running out of scholarships. Can we aford to take both without under-recruiting another position?

[husker rob]

FYI

 

Brandon will be visiting NU this weekend on an official visit, and has NU as one of his favorites.

 

anyone want to bet that if he likes his visit, NU gets a commitment this weekend from either him or TR

[no_name_needed_2001]

Aren't we running out of schollys?

[BigRedfxtoy]

If TR is going to sit on the fence like this then maybe this kid is a better option anyway. I would love to have TR be N but, I think the staff has enough to worry about. If TR commits just because another recruit wants to, then, who's to say we really have a commitment at all. TR needs to convicingly commit or we need to move on. If we need another linemen lets fill the spot with the best "commitment" and try to move on. I know its never a done deal until sighning day. If TR feels that he has to commit because of something like this then I for one believe his commitment isn't worth the phone call made. JMO

[Hunter94]

agree, time for the games to be over.

[BIGREDIOWAN]

I agree if TR isn't going to commit or commit before he's ready let's get someone else then.

[gamecocks]

I don't think anything TR says or does is going to make me believe that he is 100% N until he signs the dotted line. However, I don't want to let TR go because someone else is ready to commit unless he is of equal value to TR. If that makes sense.

[husker rob]

FYI, Brandon loved the visit. Rated it at least a 9 if not a 10. Said that he is going to take an unofficial to Purdue this weekend and then make his decision.

 

I think that the decision is already made and he just wants to take a look at Purdue to say that he checked out another school. He will commit to NU by wednesday of next week (IMO)

[HuskerKing130]

If this guy commits, will NU still accept a commit from Trevor Robinson, cuz i really want TR

[HuskerMan]

I don't know but I think it would be stupid to pass on someone in your own state as good as TR even if Brandon committed.
