DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa

LJS Owa visit

Visiting with Owa
Posted by: Brian Christopherson on January 22, 2010 at 1:01AM CST

As those who follow Husker recruiting know, Nebraska coaches traveled to Portland on Thursday night to visit with ballyhooed defensive end recruit Owamagbe Odighizuwa.

Bo Pelini, Carl Pelini and John Papuchis made the trip, visiting with Owa and his mother. UCLA and Oregon are the other schools he's considering, and some have wondered if the distance to Nebraska might give the competitors an advantage.

What's mom think about that distance?

"After this (visit), she said she doesn't really mind at all," Owa told Scout.com after the meeting Thursday night. "She does not care at all. There are so many other good things about the school, she can look past the distance."

Owa said he'd like to talk it over with his coach and mom this weekend and didn't have a set time frame for a decision in mind.

"Just when it feels right," he told Scout.

Quote from HI

Owa- great! Cooper- great! Fulton- great! Carnes- nice. Simek- good.
Making room by disposing of dead wieght- great!

tim_may: you're right, Rivals rankings ahve always been strange. A five star REALLY enhances them, though- just wait and see. Also, no matter how good a class you'd have with "stars" per player, sheer humbers will do that in every time. Take OU- they haul in about 30 players each year by seriously sifting through the non-porducers. That fact alone will always ensure a well-rated class, by Rivals' points system.

I assume you may already know this EZ, but tim_may is the most reliable insider rivals free board. If he says somethings going to happen, it always does. That being said, I can't tell if he is joking around or giving some inside info here. Still good to see though.

I think I recall reading that; it was another poster responding to tim_may.

 
By the way, check the woodshed if you want an interesting story of what happened to me today... and why I won't be sleeping tonight.

 
It really sounds like Neb's emphasis on academics helped sell mom and that she'd be fairly cool with Owa moving to Lincoln, it has seemed for some time that Owa wants to be a blackshirt. I think we have a pretty solid shot on closing here.

 
Sounds like things went about as well as they could have minus a commitment. Here's to hoping we see Owa in Scarlet and Cream in the near future. :cheers
