Stats alone don't tell the whole story. This staff might see potential.

 

Could have been a poor system fit, could have had personal things going on/poor school fit.  There are a lot of good football players who never show it on the field for a myriad of reasons. I feel like Frost and co know exactly the type of guy the want for their system.  A lot of schools just chase stars and try to make them fit, aka Mike Riley's Nebraska.

Shaquem Griffin says hello!

That could be. If I recall, Shaquem Griffin's stats were not very good pre-Frost, and Suh's state were not very good pre-Pelini.

Is ND still running Diaco's system  That would explain poor stats.

Here’s an article providing “updates” about Watkins’ recruitment, without actually saying much. Essentially, he is thinking about visiting Nebraska, talks to Daniels and his old HS coach about Nebraska, and is looking at other schools (Alabama was mentioned).

 

Personally, I don’t think there is much to get excited about until he visits; if he visits. Also, heard his visit to West Virginia puts them in the lead; they are also thin at CB.

Sounds like there is about a 95% chance that you will get excited.

Other offers are pouring in, too; Watkins said he is talking to Alabama on Thursday night as well.  LINK

 

If Saban is even talking to him it's unlikely that his stats would be an issue for Nebraska.  Just sayin..

Sounds like Watkins is expected to announce his decision soon and isn't taking any more visits.

 

I assume this means we're not in the running for whatever reason.

VIP update on 247....good or bad news?

Did he visit Lincoln or no?

He's from Dallas, might have just wanted to be closer to home.
