Mike Schaefer on radio today was pretty sure he was N. Hoping so. The next blackshirt, heismen, outland legend!

Here's hoping he commits! His motor and play style reminds me a lot of Collins.

In Mike Riley vs. Jim Harbaugh, new Nebraska assistant might win

By Sam McKewon / World-Herald Bureau POSTED: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 2016 12:00 AM

LINCOLN — A Saturday recruiting showdown between Nebraska’s Mike Riley and Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh looms, according to multiple recruiting reports.

The Huskers and Wolverines appear to be the two finalists for defensive tackle Deontre Thomas out of Mustang, Oklahoma.

<snip>

Nebraska has pummeled Thomas with attention, including a boatload of handwritten notes last week to Thomas’ house. (Thomas' hs coach) Dombeck knows a little about Nebraska, having played quarterback at Wyoming. His first start: The 1994 game in Lincoln when Brook Berringer collapsed a lung. Dombeck and the Cowboys put a scare into the Huskers that day in a 42-32 loss. Dombeck threw for 264 yards and a pair of touchdowns. “The fans were special,” Dombeck said. “They cheered us coming off the field because we gave Nebraska such a great game.”

Thomas' coach was the QB for Wyoming in 1994 when they gave us a run for the money in Memorial Stadium. Small world, huh?

I was at that game...I think Marcus Harris went crazy

He's the guy that got essentially ripped in half by two defenders, one going high and one going low. If I remember right his facemask was severely bent after the play - it used to be on youtube but I can't find it.

Yes

The amount of double teams he faced in high school and still beat both guys was fun to watch on hudl. Go Big Red Deontre!

 

[NM11046]

I heard 9am to be announced via radio and then one of his local OK Newspapers says 1pm CST via Twitter. Kid's gonna have us hanging all day!!

 

[BigRedBuster]

Kind of makes the tweet above look odd.

Wondering if that station is perhaps on the west coast? Listed as an ESPN station affiliate. That would make more sense.
