Spring game atmosphere sways DT toward NU

 

The sixth member of Nebraska's 2011 recruiting class might be the first of several high schoolers who left last weekend's spring game with a decision to announce.

 

Defensive tackle Kevin Williams can't exactly detail the feeling he had when he saw 77,963 fans packed in Memorial Stadium for Saturday's Red-White game. Williams knew, though, that Nebraska was where he wanted to be.

 

“It was amazing, an awesome experience,” Williams said Monday. “I wouldn't be able to describe it all to you – just the whole package. Everything was there.”

 

Williams was one of about 70 recruits in Lincoln last weekend - though many of those players either were already signed or didn't have an NU scholarship offer yet.

 

Regardless, Williams is the first post-spring-game commitment for Nebraska and the first 2011 recruit expected to play on the defensive side.

 

The 6-foot-2, 275-pound defensive tackle joins four offensive linemen and a quarterback in the 2011 class.

 

Williams, from Holland, Ohio, plays for coach Vince Marrow at Springfield High School. Marrow is from Youngstown, Ohio, the same hometown of NU coach Bo Pelini.

 

Williams said he was also considering Michigan, Michigan State and Wisconsin.

i think it stood for, "Loser Loser Double Loser Whatever As if Get the Picture? Duh?!"

That's something my niece says.

is your niece niles paul?

Suh is up after the commercial

it's a husker extravaganza!!! espnU is showing last years Mizzou/NU game!!!

ESPNU is also showing the B12 championship game tomorrow at 11:00 pm central, for anybody who whats to see it again, except the last second.

i saw the showed the outback bowl (or some other bowl), i would love if they showed the holiday bowl. i deleted it on my dvr, not knowing how bad the withdrawals would be and i would love to see it again.

I know I was checking the guide to see what other games the were showing hoping that they would show the Holiday Bowl. At least we get to see Suh throw McCoy like a rag doll again.

Anyone know what the stars by some players' names mean? (And what the different numbers of stars mean?)

I believe it's how many letters they've won by starting or getting significant playing time.

Now the Suh is gone, we won't be getting called for tackling the runner too hard anymore.

I know I read that part about Suh and it sounded like he had already committed.

Not trying to start something here but you said it yourself and Zac Lee would never say that Hardrick is the best lineman we have because that would be throwing the lineman under the bus.

 

It's funny, because I don't recall you standing there when I was talking to Lee. Were you? What I wrote there was in direct relation to what Lee was saying.

 

Nice try, though.

Really....maybe next time put quotations around this quote like so

 

"Anyone not penciling Yoshi into the starting lineup come Fall camp had better reconsider. I think he's the best lineman we've got" said Lee

 

But in the mean time I'm going to assume that you were the one that said that....not Lee but it really doesn't matter anymore now does it

It wasn't a quote, it was a paraphrase. You quote exact words. You paraphrase intent. And you can assume all you want, won't change a thing.

Heated conversation. I like it.

The Annexors! (tribute to Elkhorn and Omaha's hostile takeover).

 

The Malcom X's (Or Malcom's Exes?)

 

 

 

The Corn Borers!

 

 

 

 

 

"Annexors" actually has a good ring to it. I like Corn Borers too, but Im afraid most of the country would think we sat around talking to corn.

They already do.

Show them this and it might shut them up also.

 

I was at this game!! Its probably one of my best memories. I was right in front of it like 5 rows up. AWESOME!!!!!!!

That guy flew 13 1/2 feet! At least you remember the game skerman, I don't think #8 does.

I was at this game as well. So much fun!

Yeah, I unfortunately wasn't at the game, but I saw it on TV. When I saw that play, I was like damn Crouch is a beast. The funny part is that Iowa wanted to start a rivalry and when we curb stomped them both times, they were like we had enough of this and they broke it off.

I saw you mentioned Yoshi in there. I know they said he would play with that cast on his left hand, but I saw him today and that left hand/arm was in a sling with that cast still on....anyone here about him possibly injuring something else too?

 

So wait, his hand is broken? I thought it was an April Fool's joke? Damn that sucks. I hope his recovery is swift enough for him to compete in summer and fall camp.

From what I've heard it's not slowing him down any, so no worries.

It sounds like he could be done for the rest of the spring.

new rivals teaser... any new info

I couldn't find a teaser on Rasco. Where did you see it?

 

Edit: THe last HI article was released on March 14th. There is a Notre Dame one talking about how he's getting an offer that came out April 6th.

I see the one he is talking about, it is from Alabama's site.

ESPN article

It would seem Kiehl Frazier (Springdale, Ark./Shiloh Christian) had nothing to prove, with offers from many of the top programs in the country, but that clearly wasn't the case at Saturday's EA Sports Elite 11 Quarterback Camp.

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Frazier continues to show why he is considered one of the top prospects in the country with another eye-catching performance, competing against a field that included talents such as Kendal Thompson (Moore, Okla./Southmoore), J.W. Walsh (Corinth, Texas/Denton Guyer), Michael Brewer (Austin, Texas/Lake Travis), Russell Bellomy (Arlington, Texas/Martin) and up-and-coming sophomore Matt Davis (Houston, Texas/Klein Forest).

"It's fun to come out and compete with all these good quarterbacks out here," Said Frazier, who didn't want it to be known before hand that he has a sports hernia that will require surgery on Tuesday. "There is so much potential and talent out here, just to get to compare myself with them is a chance to get better. The drills were great. Some of the drills like the bungy footwork drill were tough. They gave us some good tips that I can take home and work on."

Competing at the camp was the last part of a big weekend for Frazier, who visited Oklahoma on Friday. Saturday began with an unofficial visit to TCU (where the Elite 11 was held) for the annual purple and white game and a first chance to sit down with members of the Horned Frogs staff.

"It was fun. I met with coach [Justin] Fuente, coach [Gary] Patterson and met with the quarterbacks. I didn't know what to expect, but TCU probably moved up on my list because I had a great experience down here," Said Frazier, who took in the spring game from the sidelines.

TCU is the latest program to get in the mix for the All-American. Among more than 15 offers, four programs are recruiting Frazier the hardest with key relationships being built.

"Probably Arkansas, Miami and Kansas State are recruiting me the hardest and UCLA just got in the mix and are starting to come on. It's probably those four schools. I've built relationships with coach [Gus] Malzahan of Auburn because he is the first one who ever recruited me, coach [Garrick] McGhee because he is close at Arkansas, Coach Kyle Williams at Kansas State because he recruits me and today I got to know coach Fuente and coach Patterson and they impressed me a lot."

Trips to both coasts are being planned for the spring and summer.

"We'll probably go to Miami and Florida, because they are Florida, and UCLA and USC. After those four, I'm really not sure." Frazier said.

Finding the comfort with the chance to compete right away will be the perfect fit for the budding star.

"I really don't have a certain thing [as far as a scheme] I'm looking for. I'm just looking for where I fit, I'm comfortable and can come in and compete is what I'm looking for."

Arkansas, Auburn, UCLA, Kansas State, Miami and Florida are considered the early favorites.

Show them this and it might shut them up also.

Yeah I live in South Sioux, which is right across the river from Iowa, so I have dealt with a few Hawkeye fans. Whenever they start talking about football, I always say, "When was the last time Iowa won a national title? Oh, wait..."

The University of Texas is having budget problems? ....Really?

Yeah you didn't know? They're having real bad budget problems. They can't leave the state to recruit.

Can we just chalk him up as our sixth commit already.

That's good to hear. Great read.

Kind of funny when you go back and Key in on one player and just watch how much he dominated when one on one! He pushed them around like a rag doll unless he was double teamed and then some times it didn't matter if he was double teamed. You just don't see an D-Line man read a play like he could. I know some of it is system based but he just knew where to go all the time and never ever did he take a play off (maybe a fake cramp) cough cough.

 

 

And that fake cramp was one of the smarter plays he made all year. He saved his teammate with that one.

 

Though I did notice one play missing from that tape, where's the play against Texas where McCoy tried to run up the middle and Suh clotheslines him?

They must have accidentally put it on Colt's highlight film instead of Suh's.

Hopefully he doesn't pull what the Northern Colorado punter did. I'm sure he wouldn't do that, but you know how some people are willing to do whatever it takes to get their shot.

Henery actually and Adi split kick off sometimes under Callahan for those who do not know. And this idea has been around for two years and is not new, probably should do it, remember Nebraska always has good kickers(-Congdon) because they have to practice in the wind.

Why is Nebraska so windy?

Because Iowa sucks and Colorado blows.

So did anybody pick Klachko to be the next commit?
