From Husker Journal: FEBRUARY 17, 2008. PREP STAR CHRIS FREEMAN, OL, 6-9, 325, 5.2, TROTWOOD, OHIO Chris has offers from Penn State, Florida, Kentucky, Nebraska, Miami, LSU and North Carolina State. “Right now I don’t have any favorites.” said Freeman, “I’m going to Penn State (3/1) and Ohio State (3/9) junior days with my dad.” “I plan on making some unofficial visits this summer, I have it all planned out. I will probably make it to Miami, LSU, Florida and possibly Nebraska.” he said. “Nebraska was the first one to offer me, Bo Pelini is recruiting me. He is a cool guy and funny. With all the rules it’s hard to talk to them (Nebraska coaches). I get a lot of letters from Nebraska with information about the school.” “I’m a offensive player but defensive players really know about Bo and what he did at LSU.” said Freeman. “I called the Florida Offensive line Coach (John Hevesy) a couple of times.” he said, “He’s a real nice guy, my parents have talked to him on the phone and really like him. We first met Coach Hevesy last year at my high school. He told me to give him a call some day.” “I like Penn State they have a great staff and tradition is very good.” said Freeman, “Penn State coaches said they like my size, I’m quick off the ball and have good feet for my size.” “Ohio State is my home state I grew up a Buckeye fan. Ohio State has been on me since my Freshman or Sophomore year. Coach Tressel is a very good coach. They are like Penn State, lots of tradition and history.” “I don’t know much about Miami until I get there,” he said, “I know Miami has a nice environment. Coach Shannon seems like a good guy.”

PREP STAR GABE LYNN, DB, 6-1, 180, 4.4, TULSA (JENKS), OKLAHOMA Gabe has offers from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Missouri, North Carolina and Kansas State. “I’m going to North Carolina Junior Day’s this weekend.” said Lynn, “Coach John Blake is recruiting me, he’s a cool guy.” “Coach Blake told me that I could play early there, just show up and I will have a spot. Coach Butch Davis and John are both from the Tulsa area.” “Phillip Dillard (Nebraska) is my brother.” he said, “He just tells me do what is best for me. I do like Nebraska game day atmosphere. The program is pretty cool; it’s all about football there.” “Nebraska coaches can’t call recruits, I haven’t called them yet.” “Coach Pelini has been successful every place he has been, Nebraska, Oklahoma and LSU. His defenses are always ranked high.” “I like Oklahoma, its close to home.” said Lynn, “I grew up hearing about the Sooners, it’s been a part of my life.” “I call the coaches (Oklahoma) all the time and they are reaching out to me. They tell me things I need to know.” “I like Oklahoma State, its only a one hour 45 minute drive. I like the staff their too.” said Lynn, “OSU program is coming up, they are getting closer every year.” “Oklahoma State is spending lots of money on their facilities, stadium and new weight room.” “I don’t have any favorites right now, I’m wide open.” he said, “I would like to decide before the season starts, but I don’t want to force anything.” Gabe added that he will attend Nike camp in Texas next month and will camp at Oklahoma and Nebraska this summer.

Welcome, Alfonzo! I like this kid's speed. Looks like he has qualified. Here is news from Husker Journal: JANUARY 31, 2008. PREP STAR ALFONZO DENNARD, CB, 5-10, 185, 4.4, ROCHELLE (WILCOX COUNTY), GEORGIA “I committed to Nebraska couple hours ago (5:30 PM Central) to Coach Bo Pelini.” said Alfonzo, “He was excited. Bo told me that they needed corners. He didn’t say I could play early, but I would have to make it happen.” “I will not make an official visit this week-end, most likely after basketball season is over, maybe mid February. I will sign with Nebraska next Wednesday.” “I originally committed to North Carolina, but they didn’t think I would make it grade wise. I am qualified now.” he said. “Nebraska (Marvin Sanders) coaches have been recruiting me for two weeks now.”
