Was listed as Athlete, Corner, Wide Receiver and Running Back. Obviously a tremendous athlete. I'd guess Corner but possibly WR as well.

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Coaches visiting Heritage today to see Cole.

[HuskerFowler]

Sounds like he's visiting for the Minnesota game.

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Awesome. We could take another WR or CB in this class. Why not a player that can do both?!

[Warrior10]

Wow.

[ScottyIce]

He is still uncommitted?

[Thanks_Tom RR]

He is still uncommitted?

No, he committed to Michigan back in July (and remains a current Michigan commit), but their class is imploding.

[teachercd]

Michigan's class will really start blowing up in the next month.

[Hedley Lamarr]

Sounds like he's visiting for the Minnesota game.

Sweet baby Jesus please

[HuskerJax]

Wow. Is there really a shot? Or is this a free trip sort of thing? To pull this kid out of Michigan would be huge

[HIPP REDWINE ROZIER]

Would be shocked if he left UM and didn't go to MSU

[HuskerFowler]

I guess MSU burnt some bridges with him a while back. Don't think he'll be going there.

 

It depends on what position we are looking at him for. If it's WR we can offer immediate playing time. Could be an awesome nickle but we are stacked there so he wouldn't see the field for a while. We all know Bo covets system knowledge over athleticism, unless your super smart like Kalu and pick it up quick you ain't playing for a couple years.

 

He has a good relationship with coach Kaz. Visit could blow him away, never really know. I'm sure OSU will get him thou.

I don't think this is as big of a deal as it's made out to be. Unless we've recruited a lot of really smart guys recently. I'm sure how much there is to learn varies by position but McMullen, Valentine, Collins, Maurice, Banderas, Rose, Alexander, Gerry, Kalu, Williams and Jones have all played as true or redshirt freshmen the last two years plus Cockrell in his first year here.

Every one of those players is out of necessity thou. Bo's history suggests he plays the guys with system knowledge over athleticism. It's the reason Thad Randall would always play last year, Pelini this year, even thou the replacements are clearly better, they make less mental mistakes so they play. We had no senior dline so Bo was forced to play them, same could be said about the whole defense. His history says he plays guys like Lance Thorell instead of CJ because he knew the system better. This year its Pelini because he's smart and knows the system, even thou he gets knocked on his butt half the snaps.

 

Nickle is loaded. Cockrell will be a senior, CJ a junior and Kalu a Sophomore. Saftey and corner equally as loaded with the 15 class coming in. A guy this talented will want to play early. He's an early enrollee, so a pitch to play WR as a freshman is very plausible as we need some help there. We already have three DBs enrolling early as well.
