He's got no leader, says its too early and is open to new offers. Looking at depth charts, the coaching staffs, contact with coaches, and early playtime.

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Rivals is mentioning a potential visit. He's got a lot of interest by in-state and regional colleges. However, no offer from UVa yet (where his brother, Rijo, is a CB).

Can someone elaborate?

On his Rivals profile it says he's visiting for the UCLA game. That's probably what it says.

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Walker was on the BCRS. Not much to glean out of the interview, other than he is looking forward to the visit. But, DT is always an important/difficult position to recruit well. We'll see how the Nebraska stock fares with Walker after his visit.

#Huskers are set to host two Rivals250 4-star players this weekend in DT Ricky Walker & RB Brandon Powell.

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Walker will be in Lincoln this weekend for the UCLA game, so I thought I would post some of his highlights for everyone.

Ricky Lake! @RickGoGetEmWalk 5h

Nebraska was dumb live ! Enjoyed my self. Kicked it with Boaz an Brandon

 

Walker said Bo told him he would be playing as soon as he comes to Nebraska (a different tone from Bo I would say), and Walker is looking forward to hosting Bo for an in-home. Virginia Tech has to be the hands down favorite, but two upsides are (1) he is hearing early playing time and (2) he has not made any other official visits yet. I would say this at least has Nebraska in the conversation behind VTech (just not sure where).

I miss Nebraska already lol just give me another week up there in Lincoln.

 

I would say he meant he had a good time.

He is not as impressive to me as Collins was last year on film,

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Walker said Virginia Tech, Nebraska, and Penn St are his top three, and he is not a Virginia Tech lean. Good stuff!

Collins tape was awesome but it was against 3 and 4A competition. They didn't play the big KC schools.
