his tape doesnt look to bad.... but it doesnt look like anyone has offered him. I;m assuming that this is a bo offer though

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.

He was gonna play safety, so maybe this will open the door for P.J. Smith to pull the trigger.

 

You Think So?

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!!!

Wow, this was a stunner. I'm not sure what to say....

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.

anyone else think that USC gets their dicks sucked by everyone who votes in the polls!!!!?!?

 

 

#3 and #2??

They lost two games this year and beat a #13 team in the bowl game

And they get ranked higher than MU and KU?!!?!!?!?

 

I HATE USC!

Why the hell couldn't we play them this next year and the following? We chose the wrong two years to challenge them. Someone needs to knock them off their throne for good. I want to see them lost like 5 in a row.

 

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.

do not expect Compton to commit to Nebraska

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.

Since Pelini has got here, we've gotten 4 commits:

 

a C2 Honorable Mention TE

a TE whose father is on the coaching staff

2 guys (QB and OL) who were going to Oklahoma State until Okla. State pulled their scholarship offers.

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.

This past weekend, I went to a Lancer hockey game with my wife and kids, and guess who walked in and sit directly behind me...........the one and only Trevor Robinson.........

 

He is a pretty imposing kid......I have coached bigger kids, and look more impressive, so he isn't the next coming of Hulk Hogan, but Trevor looks like a football player......

 

Now, I have been "down" on the kid, only becuase of what I have watched on NETV when he was a junior in the State finals....and I have relatives in Crete who said that he was a "non-factor" this season when Crete beat them in the play-offs..........

 

BUT........ I sat infront of this guy, along with 5-6 other high school students (boys) and apparently Trevor's girl friend...... I am a HS teacher/coach, so I know exactly how 17-18 year old boys talk and act.......... but I will say that this kid impressed me with how he conducted himself in a "hockey setting with a bunch of teenage/HS/college guys"............... I don't recall any foul language, or immature talk...... they did talk about Notre Dame, and how many tickets he gets for each game, and the AA game coming up......

 

I wanted to turn around and convince him to come to Lincoln.....but thought it would be inappropriate....just sat and minded my own business....... I wasn't evesdropping, he just sat right behind me, and I couldn't help hearing their convesation...

 

After being around him in that setting for 2 hrs., I am no longer "down" on him...... He impressed me as a person........and I wish him well at ND....hopefully he will get a little homesick and ends up back in Nebraska.

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.

great! this kid is a great get for us. good work by Watson!

Right, although it was fun while it lasted (until they were outed) listening to the bc BS and Koolaid Sipping Command Posts

BS (rss), we're getting back to an even keel and I'm not buying into that recruiting hype anymore. It's only an advantage if

you're a Te$as or U$C and you've got every position covered 3 or 4 deep with 4 and 5 stars. This still doesn't quarantee

success as they had 5 losses between them including a loss to lowly Stanford. U$C should be ranked by results not by

their strength on paper--which would clearly rank them outside of the top five this past year. They only beat FOUR

bowl teams and were made to look good by getting Illinois in the Rose Bowl. Contrast that schedule to LSUs (or NUs--

every team played except Iowa St and K St were bowl teams). Teams like U$C can easily become a bunch of hotdogs

and me-first showboats that don't come together as a team and subsequently lose to the Stanfords and Oregons and barely beat the Washingtons and AZs. U$C was once again overhyped by ESPN and the sportswriters, some even predicting the

'07 team to challege for the greatest team ever....what a joke.

I know we could still lose compton and Okafor, but it also looks like we will have more commits as well. I am pleased overall.

Could easily lose one of them but overall I'm also pleased with the ones that stayed and the new recruits. Goodbye

to the namby-pamby bc "commits" .....and Oh, f. gabbert-- I can't wait for Bo's defense to take him down .

Dammit. He looked awesome. Now he's a Missouri Tiger.

So long, farewell, solong turncoat and have a nice rest of your life. We only want football players that want to play for

NU and not bc....so good ridance...and Oh, you CAN be replaced!

And I'll definately 2nd that, F......Gabbert. So long, farewell and have a nice rest of your life.

id say we have less than a 50% chance. zook is an incredible recruiter, and they are going to the rose bowl. I hope I am wrong.....but I dont have a very good feeling about it

Out with the "clunkers" that aren't solid and in with the ones that are. So long, farewell and have a nice life.

That is nonsense. No one has been caught taking tests for football players at CU. Maybe you have a news link where you read this? Or maybe its just wishful thinking on your part? CU players can't get academic credit from playing football, unlike several other Big 12 schools. And CU players can't major in gym, like at other Big 12 schools. And when CU players do wrong, they are disciplined by both the football team and the university, unlike Nebraska, or have you already forgotten Mo Purify missing one lousy game for multiple offenses including domestic violence and drunk driving? Or Lawrence Phillips missing one practice for beating the crap out of girlfriend in front of witnesses, or Christian Peter raping Miss Nebraska, or Johnny Rodgers robbing gas stations, etc. Colorado football doesn't always make me proud but if anyone should be calling the kettle black, they aren't pots from Nebraska, dude.

 

And if you want to know what might make CU appeal to recruits, HuskerTrucker, you might want to read your own posts. I respect most Nebraska fans but making bigoted remarks about hispanics? Not what I'd expect from fans who consider themselves the classiest in college football.

 

Holy mother of... wow. That was SO good!

All BC lovers (recruits) welcomed to leave: "short term pain for long term gain" for NU. Oh, and solong,

farewell and see yah. :clap

not saying it would have made a difference but if they were still huskers it might not have happend, maybe Baker was too much for them to handle

Karma can be a real beotch...so watch out!

KU whips VaTech at it's own game and it's team and coaching that wins. Anyone else observe that lack of coverage

and love for KU on ESPN post game compared to the U$C lovefest post Rose Bowl. Nice to see a team go "old school"

and win instead of watching a team (U$C) composed primarily of overconfident hotdogs. Looking at the teams U$C lost to

compared to the quality teams KU and MU lost to, U$C should not be ranked above either. Sadly, they are often ranked

by their strength on paper rather than on the field.

Why is Hawkins being elevated to the status of a god....his two year record at cu: 8-17......................8 - 17!

I listened to Jeremy Crabtree today on 1620, (he is the rivals guy), and yes, he said all of the losses "sting" a little......hell, they sting a LOT.... but as he put it, everyone just needs to weather the storm....soon, all of the defectors will officially be gone,and he said that this staff is working very hard and will probably bring in guys that we don't even know about yet......

 

I think that LSU will have a great showing in the NC, and then we will have approx. 4 weeks to hit the trail hard, and this staff will land a "few" top notch guys...... they will land enough guys for us to partially salvage this class.........

 

This will not really effect us immediately, but might hurt in a few years.........but, if Bo turns this program around, the recruits will come back in the following years..."if you build it, they will come".......

 

Yes, we are going to lose a few more....hopefully we keep Hoch to put with Baker and Okafor to put with the stable of backs we have.....maybe lure LaMicheal James from Texas and land a few more.....we will be okay....

And it seems that most of the dead weight/Callacruits are gone now and NU can get down to the

business of filling some needs. I'm not saying that the decoms aren't good--it's just hard to get

their heads straight again when they're brainwashed by BC and most likely planned to put the

screws to NU right before the dead period to get even. Well, it's more about their lives and

football future...so, so long and good luck except when you play NU. Karma will come into play,

what goes around comes around.
