Yes I will confirm, Bobby is headed to BC. Bobby loved Nebraska and was seriously considering them up until he made his decision. IMO, one of the big things that swayed him to BC was the fact his best friend and older brother Clay, who plays football for Holy Cross, is now just right down the road. Thank you to all who have spoken so well of Bobby on this board. Nebraska is truly a one of a kind place and I for one would have been very happy for him to go there. Take care, Bass PS. Lost wages - I will stop by from time it time and check in.

I can tell you Nebraska will take 3 WR in this class. Bobby is getting close to deciding & I honestly do not know what school he will choose. As said before he really can't make a bad decision. Based on my shirt, I think it is clear where I would like him to go. Lost Wages, I will stick around regardless.

Thanks for asking & the kind words. Bobby is doing great & itching to get back on the field. Obviously at first he was not happy about not being able to play.... but he has embraced his leadership role and is coaching his younger replacement & his teammates in reading coverages & knowing what to expect & what to do on both sides of the ball. When the Doctor gives him the OK, he will be ready to go. The team is still rated # 1 in the State of Ohio in Div II with an 8-0 record. Bobby expects to be able to return for the playoffs and do what he was born to do... WIN.

Football is his focus, but yes he is planning to give it a try and play both sports. He plays SS. Now for some sad news: As some of you may have read or (notice the boot at the game), Bobby injured his foot a few weeks back. It was not getting better so when we got back from Nebraska he went to a Ortho specialist. It was not required, but the best course of action for this injury was surgery. He had it done Thurs AM & the Doctor said it went fine and he will be back to 100% very soon. Bobby was hoping to return to the field in time for the playoffs, but his health will / must be the first priority & whatever the Dr says will be the course he takes. We are currently the #1 rated team in Div II in the state & Bobby is very disappointed that he may not get a change to compete for a championship. We have spoken with the coaches of his top College choices (including Nebraska) and the injury does NOT effect his scholarship offers. I know there will be many who wish him well and a speedy recovery so in advance. Thanks for the kind works & thoughts.

Initially as a WR.

Alex, Be happy to.... They have a complete schedule set for the recruit when you get here. You meet with and discuss with various leaders involved with the program. We met with and had detailed discussion with multiple people on this trip. Each one about 1/2 hour or so. In our case our Itinerary included meetings with: Mike Anderson and Eric Newman - Baseball Coaches Ted Gilmore - WR Coach James Dobson - Strength & Conditioning coach Dr Tom Osbourne - Athletic Director Bo Pelini - Head Coach Dennis Leblanc - Academics Keith Zimmer - Life Skills We enjoyed the trip and learned so much about what it means to be a HUSKER.

Here is a picture of Bobby & one of his best friends & teammates Jordan Mcquilkin who traveled with us.

Anyone want an autograph? Anyway, what can I say... WOW!!!! The infamous gameday atmosphere in Lincoln is ever better than advertised. The place blew us away. As has been confirmed and noted already Bobby did not commit. His plan all along is to visit all of his top schools and then decide. Nov time frame probably. I can say everything he saw and everyone he talked with, ALL made a very positive impression on him and his family. Nebraska in the clubhouse with a course record 10 under par.

Also is there any unique Nebraska pre-game fan activities or tailgating customs?

Bobby's team is rank currently ranked # 1 in the State in Ohio Div II with a 4-0 record. Last week he was 27-of-47 for 252 yards & a TD all on a sprained right wheel. http://fridaynightohio.com/news/late-field...st-canton-south

Very happy to say we have just finalized the official visit date. Bobby will be at the 300th straight sell out on the 26th.

Yes I believe he will visit. The 300th sellout on the 26th, looks promising. IMHO, Bobby fits Nebraska like a glove.

^^^^ I thought it was funny...

Bobby had a very nice game last night. He was 17 -24 for 240 yds and 5 TD and no INT. On Defense, he made a couple of tackles and blocked a XP. For the second straight game the opposing team never threw a pass in his direction. Ohio.com - Leopards' Swigert shows stuff as QB

Thank you for the kind words & yes we are very proud of him.

^^^ It's just ratings. They got to start with someone. I can share that the # 1 rated WR in Ohio (Jerald Robinson) plays is the same league (NBC) as Bobby.... so they have played head to head. I will not share my opinion as it is strongly biased... but you can take a look at a forum where the local Ohio fans discuss and compare the 2 kids. They appear to favor Bobby..... http://www.yappi.com/forums/showthread.php...ghlight=swigert Also to see a little of what kind of kid Bobby is, take a look at this post on a ND board from a local Louisville resident. http://www.goldhelmet.com/showpost.php?p=1...mp;postcount=76 Mods, If this is not OK to post links to other forums, sorry just delete this.

irieboy8, Coach Carl Pelini was original contact & now he & Coach Ted Gilmore are primary Husker contacts. man eating mastodon, Not sure yet... Looking at Sept 26th the 300th straight sell out or perhaps Nov 7th vs Oklahoma.

Sorry, I noticed I said this is a 4 team race and did not even mentioned the 4 horses. They are in no particular order, Stanford, Michigan, Nebraska & Boston College. If you have a Scout.com account you can read it in his words at this link. http://recruiting.scout.com/2/888597.html I know it is a no-no to paste anything from the article, so for those of you who do not have an account, I will interpret in my own words what he said about Nebraska. He mentioned: 1. The facilities & compared them to a NFL facility. 2. The people & how friendly everyone is. 3. how important football is & how it reminds him of his high school where they they live and breathe football. Mods, I assume the above is OK.

Hi Guys, The Scout.com interview mentioned Stanford. Don't read too much into it thou. Not sure what the reporter asked or what Bobby said, but I can tell you he has never told me or his parents what his favorite is & we ask him that question 10 times a day. He is just a 17 year old kid with a hugh decison to make. I believe he is going to let the recruiting process run it's course, take a few official visits & then decide later in the year. The official visits will have a big impact on his decision. This is a now a 4 horse race & Nebraska is still very much a front runner. Bass

Allow me to share something about Nebraska. In a recent interview Bobby was quoted as saying: "I definitely need a lot of people in the stands… a place like Nebraska where people care for their football team like it's life or death if they win or lose. That's the way my high school is, and that's what I want in a college too." While walking around Lincoln during our recent visit, we came across a kid with a unique shirt. on the front it said. Nebraska Football "It is not life or death" on the back it said. "It's more important than that"

The Nebraska visit went outstanding. Bobby & his father were both very impressed. They took in the Shriner HS all star game on Sat evening & met with the staff and toured the facilities on Sunday. They are planning to make an official visit in the fall to see a game.

Thanks for the info on the Offense everyone. Just booked flights for Bobby & his dad to visit Nebraska late July.

Not a parent or guardian, he lives with his parents Dave & Kerry. However I do share a last name. I am his Uncle.

Hack, Call of Duty I presume? Anyway, Bobby is extremely excited about the Huskers offer. He will be visiting this summer late July. we view Nebraska as... A program with a outstanding history. A program on the unswing with an unlimited upside. A program with a fan base that is un-matched in College sports. A prgram with an exceptional coaching staff who know how to prepare young men for life. A program with a vast number of outstanding educational options. Kind of hard to beat in my book. Can anyone share the offense the Huskers will be running? I assume a move to the spread is in the works?
