Update is needed and correction to my post above. Nebraska cut Schwartz loose after he suggested he'd like to make more trips:Yes, so it begins. When 3 star players de-commit - you got a problem. I Perhaps we need to go after 2 star players to keep them in the fold?

Cutting a recruit loose is nothing new
There are a number of folks up in arms about Hayden Schwartz
decommitting and what some of my and Sean's thoughts have been about Schwartz. What I understand now is Schwartz told Nebraska that he may have wanted to take another trip or two and based on that news Nebraska let him out of the class.
So, while Nebraska wasn't looking for a reason to necessarily get Schwartz out of the class, they didn't turn the chance away when it presented itself. As Sean and I said on the board earlier this week, Schwartz hardly looked the part of a Big Ten defensive lineman. The pictures don't lie.
Jake Appleget towered over Schwartz.
This is not the first time Nebraska has cut loose a player and it will hardly be the last. Heck, this staff cut a player loose just a year ago and, while there are no official records around this data, I have compiled a list to take all of you down memory lane.
