These schools are laying in wait and ready to even go after the no-stars that we are rooting out and offering now. Could be wrong, but from reading the rrs article where he states "he probably won't commit to NU if offered" even though he doesn't have any other offers, leads me to believe he could be yet another of those recruits who uses NU to garner national or big 10 interest/offers from other schools and then immediately dumps NU when those offers are forth coming. This when he specifically states he wouldn't commit on an NU visit because he needs to explore other options--well he doesn't have any options... yet. If it looks a skunk, walks like a skunk and smells like a skunk (Kuli, K. Jonson, Domicone,etc) --then it's probably a skunk. Maybe NU needs to wait until the last weekend before signing day to give visits and offers to these types of "unknown players" instead of doing all the legwork to root them out for the Oregons, Ohio States, CUs, etc.

Recruiting definately needs to be changed--some of these "commits" for too long have been USING NU to catch a free ride in order to garner more interest from their preferred school or to scare up more interest ala Zach Domicone or Simi Kuli.

When he started to talk about the possibilities about wanting to stay closer to home, even though he was committed to NU and was 75% IN, I figured he was 99% gone at that point--just another slow play--solong, see ya and have a nice rest of your life.

So long......see ya.......have a nice rest of your life..........BIG RED!!!

rss is mum on this and on other things--therefore IMHO it's a waste of $99/yr to not get inside info and to get the same info on another board the next day. It is what it is.

To petition the NCAA to investigate USC, bring up the NCAA mainpage and go to contacts. Thank you.

I agree. I'm really starting to hate them. These guys are easy to hate. 1. They are located in Glitz-ville. 2. Its easy to recruit when you can run HS kids up to the PB Mansion to meet Hef and his stable. 3. All of ESPN has its nose planted squarely in a trojan's butt. >>>T_O_B And what are the chances of NU or any other team with two losses to 4-8 and 9-4 teams and two victories over two teams in the bottom half of the final top 25 being ranked #2 or #3 in the final polls? So what if they're one of the finest teams ever put together on paper.....I thought it was the results on the field the mattered, not the hype.

At this point in time it looks like the NCAA is a lot less interested in it than Yahoo Sports is. Besides, all of Yahoo Sports findings and documents would probably be considered "inadmissable evidence" by the NCAA.

Wouldn't it be nice.............to see a full blown investigation of the U$C football program by the NCAA. Would they do it or is it a "hands off" policy when it comes to the Trojans since they are one of the linchpins of money flow from a big market area?

IMHO, the koolaid sipping command post has lost credibility (preferred treatment with BC?) but it's still a nice place to go if you like getting pimped by Mr. tophat and the "know-it-alls". The early season BC nonbelievers were castigated and many of the best posters quit. Now negativity abounds and board trolls comb posts daily looking for pimping opportunities. These people were long ago outed but it continues. Sorry, but after 4 years not worth my $99 a yr.

I never did because no one keeps their word anymore. Signing day just needs to get here. I think it's less about keeping their word and more about committing and then the university fires the coach you committed to play for. Nebraska changed the ground rules. Not too many kids de-commit when the coaching staff remains stable. And these de-commits start to have a snowball effect.... Compton was pals with Gabbert and Jonas Gray, and they left. I expect Compton to stay at home in Missouri. If not, Champaign/Urbana isn't too far from his home. (Mizzou also got a committment today from Wes Kemp - WR from St. Louis who had previously committed to Wisconsin and a teammate, Munir Prince - RB/CB who's transferring from Notre Dame to Mizzou and will play the 2009 season. Good day for Mizzou football.) Here's my problem with Gabbert. He commits to us and then calls all of these recruits and gets them interested in NU right. Then he goes and decommits from NU after all these other guys have commited and then proceeds to call them and try and lure them away from NU. That ruined his rep with me. I really do not understand this... you're ok if he recruits for you, but it ruins his character if he does it for someone else? Dude just wants other good players around him. Okay, well let me explain it for you. He commits to Nebraska and is high on us and starts calling all of these big time recruits and convinces them to either visit here or come here. Some of them commit and everything is okay. Callahan gets fired and Gabbert jumps ship right. Then he calls recruits that have already committed to NU and convinces them to decommit. That's dirty!!!!! The recruits he was calling when he committed to us weren't committed anywhere! They were still visiting places when he originally called them. What he did was crossing the line, you don't contact people that have already committed to a school like that and they committed because you told them how great it was. Then he goes and starts to say bad things about NU and gets them to decommit. We all know peer pressure is a bit*h and these kids feed off of one another. If he wanted to go to another school I'm cool with that, but I'm in no way cool with him contacting our recruits and pulling them away from us!!! All I can say about the gabbert shenannaggins is..........f. gabbert .

Looks like it's down to ND and Missouri for Compton, with Illinois the darkhorse. It will be a surprise if he even visits NU--with all the signs pointing to a noshow this weekend.

And now it looks like Compton to ND--I'm wondering if he'll even show for his NU visit this weekend. Once this rush for the exits started, I expected most of the remaining recruits on the fence would go too. This is the downside of the many recruits having formed bonds with each other and buying into the BC hype until it imploded by the sheer weight of its own BS. So let them go elsewhere, it may take longer to rebuild NU football, but it will be done from the ground up the right way and with dedicated individuals.

I'm still expecting NU to lose at least 2 of the 3 soft commits on board. So be it, let the recruits with bc hangover go-- solong, farewell and may they have a nice rest of their life.

Enough of TR--he's not a NU commit (and it's hard for me to even consider him a Nebraskan) but maybe more of a sneaky character.........like a gabbert.
