It would be a nice problem if more prospects want to commit than they have spots that are available. Then the coaches can pick and chose. Of course you run the risk of one signing with another school, but that is how recruiting happens sometimes.

Yes I did follow recruiting those years. If you disagree with me, fine. Go ahead and state the facts I am missing if you think I am wrong. I remember, especially in the ‘80s and the ‘90s, missing on some of those big recruits that went down to the wire and when it was between us and one other college — near misses. But Dr Tom still has some excellent classes regardless. In the ‘70s, I do remember the talent level with Osborne’s teams wasn’t quite as good, as that especially showed against Oklahoma. We started recruiting better in the ‘80s, and we won five out of 10 against OU. And then Dr Tom turned it up a notch on recruiting in the 90s, which produced Osborne’s most dominant teams on both sides of the ball.

Whoever is confused with my reply, I get that. Sorry. I am just pointing out there are no guarantees which way it will go — there are four ways this could go. I just feel like two out of three is the most likely — my opinion of course. Heck, Mao might surprise everyone and go to USC, and we go zero out of three. But Mao seems likely N and we get one of the other two. Yes, of course I want all three.

Isn’t that what Al Bundy did for a living?

If we get two out of those first three — Mao highly likely — that would be a great success. So far with Frost, verses Osborne, Scott seems to finish stronger, where as Dr Tom seemed to come up a little short at the end, even with some of his better classes. But it’s possible we go one and three this time around, but I feel like two out of three, with the possibly we get all of them. Stay tune.

Parker and Njoku are their main targets. This kid, not sure in what order, especially if Parker commits.

Everyone has different tastes, like in food, movies, college football choice, etc.

We also have Katerian Legrone. He is not quite as tall as Njoku, but I seen his highlight video and he runs pretty fast for a large guy. Perhaps Frost would also consider putting him at LB? He hits pretty hard.

Herm must not be that good of a recruiter. I wonder why. He seems to have an upbeat personality.

That could be. I was just trying to ease the pain in case we didn’t get him. We also have Katerian Legrone. Not quite as tall but also could be used for that role. Edit: Saw his game video. Legrone looks fast enough to be a deep threat and has some elusiveness. Also has the size and hard-hitting ability to be a LB.

Frost must be a thorn to Herm and ASU fans. Hey, I love it!

Frost and company will not wait around for him to decide. They will take the best that is available. If Houston would commit, Njoku may be out. Plus Chris Hickman could play the big-bodied receiver role as a hybrid WR/TE.

OL I assume. If he played the DL, a 5 9 RB would run under him.

I wonder if he and Houston have made it to Lincoln with the icy conditions outside.

My thought is if we get Houston instead of Njoku, Chris Hickman could fill the big-body role as a hybrid WR/TE. That perhaps would give him playing time next year with the TE position already well stacked.

We are still in this, according to an article written by Greg Smith. Parker said his visit to Nebraska went real well. He said the vibes he gets from the coaches will determine where he will go.

Did he play DB, too? I was thinking we didn’t have the need for another RB.

OSU may had been a threat if they offered earlier. He had expressed interest in them, but perhaps also Urban retiring cooled him on them.

I could possibly see Washington, Mills, Johnson, and some with Robinson and Jones if he is healthy. MJ looks real good in his HC highlight videos and showed his speed in his one catch in space.

Mark Magino (sp?) put together a really good team in 2007. The point is Miles could do good for Kansas. FYI: Anyone saw the OWH article that the Corn may get a graduate transfer, big-bodied WR — Lawrence Cager — from Miami? Cager said Husker fans stand out from other schools.

I said “especially” 1995. Yes I know 1968 was a totally different era, but I was mainly pointing to 1995. Again, it’s possible a very good coach can win at an otherwise bad program. It won’t be easy, but Miles possibly could produce winning records there.

My point is it’s possible Miles could put together a good team or two at Kansas. True, they almost always had bad teams, but it has happened before as you saw in 1968 and especially 1995. Miles is as good of a coach Kansas has ever hired, and that is what I am factoring in. Even crappy Oregon State had a great team when Dennis Erixon (sp?) was there.

True, and Kansas has had a good team here and there. It’s not like they had been bad every year.

A tight relationship can be extremely tough to compete against. So, yes, Kansas most likely signs him unless he has an unexpected bad visit, which would be unlikely. Oh well, we can’t get them all.

Fonau loved his visit. Thus he appears to be the most likely signee. Hopefully he turns out to be good.
