DE Owamagbe Odighizuwa

FYI, I'm a subscriber to the UCLA Rivals site, bruinblitz.com because that's my alma mater (though I'm still a bigger Husker fan). Optimism is overflowing on the UCLA premium message board regarding the Bruins' chances of landing all of their remaining targets (as well as stealing a couple USC commits) - that is, all except for Owa. Even the most optimistic person on the site calls it an "uphill battle" for UCLA getting Owa. I'm not sure what the feel is on the Oregon St. message board, but I would imagine it would be even less optimistic.

Rick kimbrel - the guy who runs BruinBlitz - said he spoke with Owa last night and will post a new article about the interview later today. But I'm guessing there won't be much new info in it, other than him saying he's closer to a decision and is set to announce Wednesday.

About 6 pages back it was stated when we reach 2323 posts we would find out where Owa is going only 149 more chuckleshuffle

That was back when we were all guessing what post # would confirm he was in. I picked 2323 as my guess. It really isn't that magical unless you believe in the suspicions around the number 23.

I am starting to get worried that we might exceed it so everyone chill out. ;)

I don't think we ever discussed the prize. Do I get to pat myself on the back?

Jeremy Crabtree = Nebraska

Mike Farrell = Nebraska

Jamie Newberg = Nebraska

Who is this Gred Ladky guy??

 
The thing about that is, I don't think the insiders mind if they reach a consensus on a big high profile recruit like this, then all get it wrong. Then it's a "Decision Day Stunner" and it's big news and something to be talked about.

It's the random gems that come from left field they probably relish being right on more.

Yeah, you make a great point. They don't mind that at all, because then it's like "no one saw that coming?!"

The expectations are getting too high....we all thought Carnes was N a few days ago and that didn't even pan out. I don't like surprises!

 
the BIGGEST quote of the article from rivals said something along the lines, directly from Owa's mouth...

"LOCATION IS NO LONGER A FACTOR IN MY DECISION..."

IMO, He's N 100%

He also said that IF location was important he would have just picked OSU because they were all tied, and it was the closest. He said that his Mom doesn't care if he leaves out of state either. Just thought I would throw the other tidbits in there.

If it was a distance issue, I think UO would of been a better fit for him. So we are in good shape on the distance issue.

I like the fact the 4 out of 5 Rivals guys picked NU over the two other finalists.

It's never ever ever 100% until the LOI is signed. Even our solid commitments are not 100% at this point. Maybe 99.9%. Is Owa the same 100% that Carnes was when you said he was a silent commit? Nothing is certain, and personally I don't know why Owa would want to announce Nebraska in front of a bunch or Oregon St. and Oregon fans. I have no idea what he will do, but I don't see one bit of hard evidence to suggest he is any more than a Nebraska lean at best.
