Not vilifying him I just think it could've been handled much better on his part. I do think if Reese was here he doesn't even take that visit and is a Husker. Also think if there was a December signing period as proposed that he'd be a Husker. Should show in the future how this would help us.

Unless he made Wyoming cancel other official visitor options and then left after the school had the opportunity to bring in another TE visitor than no You think he gave them any indication that they should be looking to replace a guy who's been committed for 7 months? He never had an option before now. Not really a fair comparison Yeah.... I think the only difference is which side of the coin we're on. Don't get me wrong, he's absolutely screwing Wyoming if he leaves and comes here. Nobody is denying that. But these scenarios aren't as comparable as you're making them out to be. I think this situation compares much more to Simmons' situation than Fitzpatricks. People are upset about Simmons but nobody blames him for taking an offer from Clemson at this point. Dez told our coaches this meant "nothing" and he was taking a free trip which led to us cancelling an OV from someone else, and went to freakin Louisville, after he has had the opportunity to OV there for the past however many months with a commitable offer. This kid got an offer yesterday. They're different situations. So, to you, a kid who isn't committed to us choosing to to somewhere else is closer to a kid committed elsewhere flipping to us that a kid committed to us flipping elsewhere. Interesting logical leap that is. The scenarios of what has played out is definitely closer. Simmons got a LATE offer from Clemson- nobody blames him for looking at it because 1. Clemson is a better program right now and 2. because of the timing of receiving his offer. That's why I'm saying it's closer to Engelhaupt's situation (where he received a late offer from a program clearly better than the one he had been looking at attending) than Fitzpatrick's. Fitz has known he could commit to Louisville at any point in time and yet scheduled his OV as the last weekend before the dead period/signing day and then went back on his commitment. Someone earlier said it perfectly. If you were committed to work for a TV station in Omaha for 4 months and then right before you signed your contract with them ESPN offered you, could they really blame you if you went to ESPN? (Engelhaupt situation) Likewise, is this situation worse? You have an opportunity to work for NBC Sports Network (Louisville) and then ESPN (Nebraska) calls you. You tell ESPN you're going to work for them and not to offer/pursue any other candidates for the position, so they tell their other prospective candidates "thanks but we're going in a different direction" (Lipscomb). But then you back out at the last minute after they've told all their other candidates no and go work for NBC Sports Network instead. (Fitzpatrick) Do those situations sound the same? If so we might just have to agree to disagree on this one.

The good news if he does wind up picking us is he's been quoted (and so has KJ SR.) that he is shutting down his recruiting process once he commits. He wants to peer recruit for wherever he winds up choosing, which is why he was taking all these visits so early. Hopefully he can convince Gebbia and Holmes to come to UNL and do the same, having those 3 as the starting base for the 2017 class would give us a chance to get in on some SERIOUS talent.

RB or LB?

Were people furious with Anchrum? He did the same to us but went to Clemson. I don't remember people being furious, I remember people being upset but again it was understandable. And there was tons of time left in the recruiting cycle.

If you want to be in on big time guys you're going to wait it out longer typically. Just how it is.

Sounds like a Louisville lean to me

This class is really deflating all of a sudden. Looking like Alexander is now gone as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong but we have 3 available scholarships still correct without going over the limit? Is the Engelhaupt offer because of Simmons or Fitzpatrick?

Anyone have a legal summary? Obviously its a pay site so whatever you can say without going over the boundary would be great

Saw. My computer is weird about this, has happened every time I create a profile. Odd.

Player: David Englehaupt Hometown: Norfolk, Nebraska School: Norfolk Catholic Position: Tight End, Defensive End Height: 6-4 Weight: 225 40 time: Offers: Nebraska, New Mexico, Wyoming Visits: Twitter Rivals: 247: #96 WDE; :star Scout: ESPN: Hudl

NSD also is just the first day a kid can sign.. no reason he can't visit here this weekend and commit if he likes it

Got a feeling this one isn't over, especially if the WR coach leaves for Louisville.

now an Oklahoma commit per twitter

Anxiously awaiting the news that he's transferring to IMG Academy

It got bumped to 3 Waiting for UM to pull their offer Nah, he's waiting for ASU to make a late push. Bleacher Report asked him to push it back

CT or ET? Or is that when he's going to the dentist

Texas 100%

WOW YES! Lets go! Absolutely MASSIVE get!

would love to keep tabs on him though and see if he can qualify late. You would think with Barry having had some academic issues this kid would've recognized that and made sure he could qualify. Guess not.
