Nebfanatic Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 This kid is a star and he is in our region. These are the type of players we have to secure to go from contenders in the west to contenders for a playoff spot. Quote Link to comment
Chadhusker Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 The reason nebraska loses kids in our area is becuz of on the field performances .Hope frost does well next year. It will help a lot . Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Illinois just hired his head coach from Trinity Catholic to coach TE's for him. Bold move by Lovie, but should definitely help in the recruitment of this loaded private school that recruits the top players in St. Louis. Also should in general help Illinois get into St. Louis for kids. Quote Link to comment

Throw Dem Bones Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 So Illinois has had quite a few CB's come in for this kid, including Wilt.. Could be over reaction to him unofficially visiting there and attending Jr day last month but timing seems like there might be something to this. I know most people, myself included, think Beason's commitment won't stick but with Williams strongly considering Illinois do we need to start worrying about Lovie Smith? Quote Link to comment

Hire a HS coach that came from a school with a TON of talent. Not good for us IMO. Maybe they'll go 4-8 and all those talented 4 and 5* players will decommit.. sound familiar? Quote Link to comment

Smart move, but I dont think the guy is a very good coach. Team underachieves for the amount of talent they have had. I guess it is worth a shot by Lovie, but they are going to have to show progress and be somewhat competitive on the field for any of this to stick. Quote Link to comment

Kansas tried something similar when they Tony Hull who was a big time coach in Louisiana to help them build a pipeline. It appears that thus far it's paid ok dividends as they were able to snag Mike Lee who is a really solid DB. I do remember that they had a rush of guys commit from LA but it appears that most of them backed off. As a couple of other folks have mentioned, on the field production still matters quite a bit.

Stumpy1 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Williams and Beason are really good friends also. Calvin Avery was pretty much the lead recruiter for Beason and is also helping with Williams. Lovie said he will let Williams play QB, which is what he wants to do in college. We are the only other team that said he could play QB also. Other schools are recruiting him as a WR or DB. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Former Nebraska QB commit AJ Bush has transferred to Illinois. He is counted toward their 2019 recruiting class - possibly could see PT or start vs Nebraska when they play in Lincoln in November 1 Quote Link to comment
