I'm not the least bit confident when we're up against an $EC team in recruiting, especially this late in the game. They're crooked as hell and when its late and they're desperate for a player they will stop at nothing to get their guy. Hopefully Johnson can't be bought.

He could be a priority now with McWilson's decommit. Has the speed and athleticism to play almost anywhere.

The important thing is getting him here. Most kids will see an opportunity for early playing time at a different position and jump at it.

I hate to say it, but I agree with you. Let Kentucky pick up the bill for his education. Yes, I'm bitter! I hate losing players to the crooked a$$ SEC, its not a fair fight.

The easy answer is yes.

The $EC strikes again. Lets just be glad there are scholarship limitations, considering the amount of money they throw at players and their families nobody outside of the $EC would even be able to field a team.

I agree, he might be having last minute doubts, but in the end he stays a Husker!

They'll probably have him meet Calipari too, he's a real grease ball, he could sell ice to an eskimo. I don't like it.

Stanton's injury hurt his ranking with the recruiting services, but make no mistake he is a gem and we're damn lucky to get him.

He is the gem of this class IMO. Stanton, Newby, McWilson, and Gregory..... Probably throw Taylor in there as well.... This class is shaping up very nicely, the best of the Pelini era.... If we can hang on to everyone already committed, mainly McWilson and Walker, I'd have to agree with you.

Couldn't agree more! He was as good as it gets, he always made the right decision and rarely made a mistake or took a loss on the play. Jamelle Holieway would probably be the next closest option qb to him.

I still think he might jump at an offer from us. He was just a little butt-hurt about not receiving a scholarship offer. Would be ironic if Walker bolts then we offer Badet and he commits.

My guess is we just look at athletes at this point not necessarily CB's, Drake Martinez comes to mind.

Just messing with you Hedley, its a slow day.

He could be a steal, great get by the staff.

I was told at one point he committed. Now same person told me not so fast. Just passing along what I hear guys. I'm not the only one stating certain things. I appreciate people passing on rumors. Yours just seem to have a propensity lately for following along with what is already posted in a given thread. You suddenly hearing that Arkansas was in it, after it was already posted by someone else (and after you just posted that he was already ours), is hilarious. And when multiple people are hearing the same thing from different people what does that usually mean? That they could just as easily be copying the rumors that have already been posted directly above and pretending they have a great source? Even if you do have some super secret mole inside the athletic department, what's the point of parroting information that's already public and acting like it's breaking news? I've been told that Hedley has no inside source.

With the exception of Vanderbilt, I've never heard a recruit say he chose an $EC school for its academics

Insert your Meyer is a d bag comment here:

WTF????

Social media has created monsters out of these guys. Considering they're 16-18 yrs old and the forums they have today, this is only gona get worse!

I agree, I'm willing to ride the roller coaster till we know for sure.

I think the coaches are in home today, so I wouldn't be surprised He's a lock to commit tonight if he hasn't silently committed already.

That's not bad despite missing most of his senior season.

It's more Connecting the dots, I think you are definately on to something here Speed. With a few new developments, I think this one ends up a Gator. Its more than coincidence that the $EC teams always seem to get what they want.

You don't know he'll be irrelevant there but you are correct in saying it is unlikely to affect us. Why, does he plan on playing basketball while at Kentucky?
