FYI we're down to 6 schollies left to offer!! Damn thats getting tight. Probably why some of these kids are starting to have a change of heart. NU suddenly looks more appealing when everyone else wants to play here. A little different playing field when we have the leverage isnt it.
One of those guys that would jump at the offer is Joe Mortensen (2 star) from Concord (CA) Clayton Valley, Inside linebacker, 6-2 235, 4.55 40, 1st team all State. Was only the second player ever to be selected 3 time 1st Team All League (DJ Williams). He also set a school record with 171 tackles and recorded 13 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and 2 interceptions. He said "NU is my favorite" and "i would be a Husker if they offered". Well he got a phone call for NU last night, and we're close to extending an offer, but Im thinking they want to wait to see how this wknd unfolds, but they want to keep him on the back burner.
Things are shaping up nicely!
