Even if this thing about him not being able to take his OV because he hasn't taken the ACT/SAT, whats the chances he still comes on an UV? Obviously all speculation as we haven't heard any reputable source come out with this news, just wondering.

There are a couple posters on RSS that have said the same as well. One eluded that Darnay hasn't taken his ACT/SAT yet and there may be a restriction on visiting if you haven't. I've never heard that rule but I guess it doesn't sound totally unbelievable. He also said DPJ is coming with his coach and a group of others. Whatever that means

 

Okay, well I would hope so and agree.

 

But, the info I got came at about 9:00 PM. Changes could occur over 8 hours. Hope you're right though! Like I said, the rumor wasn't that he isn't coming, it was that he might not make it.

Are you talking about the one random guy that posted both those things on 247 with no proof and didn't even get a response from anyone?

Saw that too. I do hope he is right 50% of the time in this case though haha

Rumor is Holmes possibly isn't coming and Donavan People's-Jones ( 5 star WR) is.

Simply going off of this I would say Darnay is still coming.

I know we offered a few JUCO TE's but nothing came about...do you think we are good now that we got Leitao?

 

We would have zero playing time at this point going into the 17' season

 

Snyder - RSo

Engelhaupt - RFr

Stoll - RFr

Leitao - Fr

Roster should look like that going into next year. Still think we need another TE.

 

 

You forgot Allen (he's still projecting to TE, right?). But if he's sitting out all of this year then slim chance he contributes next year.

 

I think a ready to play Juco or grad transfer TE will be needed in a bad way.

 

 

Yes, and I agree. A TE ready to go will more than likely be needed, escpecially in blocking situations.

 

Hoppes is a walkon that has gotten good pub lately, apparently a good athlete, will be a Sr. next year and a good candidate for a scholly IMO. Assuming the reports on Hoppes are correct, I am not sure the staff needs to press hard for a 3rd TE at this point unless it is a stud.

 

Im with you on this one. I really don't think we need that 3rd TE in this class. They identified who they wanted from the beginning at TE it seems and after landing them both to go along with the other youth mentioned above and the walk-ons that have worked their way onto the depth chart, I actually think we are sitting pretty well. Focus the resources on some of these big fish coming in and go from there.

 

 

Any bets?

 

I'm betting Nebraska shirts under their uniforms.

 

.0001% chance that Darnay and Bookie commit after their big win.

Commits from both teams, 1 each, after the game. Book it.

I'm not even going to entertain the chance of you knowing something the rest of us don't. But that would be pretty neat

 

 

 

 

Wait.....

 

I thought we needed to drop Adidas ASAP because all the big recruits were demanding they wear Nike when they get to college and all of them hated Adidas.

 

 

Well I don't know where you go that overblown hyperbolic idea, but recruits in general do favor Nike quite a bit more.

Not as of recent. There has been a huge shift especially on the west coast and in some areas of the Midwest. The whole #3stripelife thing is spreading like wild fire.

 

Can you provide actual evidence of this other than anecdotal hype?

I'm not arguing about overall market share, because there is no doubt Nike is leading that category. I was just simply stating that adidas has begun to narrow the gap again, especially with football recruits.

Degine Ozigbo, 27 yard run because Newby is overrated.

You could have just stopped after the word run....

Those look pretty badass.

 

 

 

 

Who put together that supposed list of Pelini's visitors? I did a very quick search and found at least priest willis, a 5-star CB, that visited in 2012. how many other people are missing from that list?

Classic case of person putting out pure misinformation and people latching onto it without a second thought because it confirms their bias.

Going off of Rivals visit lists from 09'-15', only three players finished ranked as 5 stars that visited. Owa, Peat, and Jonathan Bullard were all listed, but I'm quite sure Bullard never ended up making it here (someone correct me if I'm wrong please).

Thanks for the details. Could you post the link to those lists? I'm having trouble finding them via google.

I just went to the Nebraska rivals website and under the recruiting tab they have football visit lists. Then you can select the year and it shows everyone that OVd that year and the dates they were there.

Came in at #96 in Rivals updated top 100.

Because sometimes the profile gets updated before I see these, was it a promotion or demotion in the rankings.

 

Promotion I believe.

#3 overall prospect on Rivals after their latest update, #1 OL.

Came in at #80 in Rivals updated Top 100.

Scout interviewed him and he did say it came down to us and tOSU so we can put that to rest now. Doesn't really make sense as to why he wouldn't put us in the video but maybe that was a B/R decision. Still wonder if he will take visits or not. I haven't read anywhere that he has stated whether he will or not.

Announced using a bleacher report video teaming up with Trevor Grimes. Both committed to tOSU. We weren't even an option within the video. Obviously no surprise, still weird that we weren't even shown.

 

Edit: was beaten to it.

Will be here for the Fresno game for his OV. Only other official visit he is sure of is to Notre Dame on October 15th. Kudos to coach Cav. His persistence has put us in position to land a game changing prospect.

Always found it interesting that he usually puts a hashtag regarding Nebraska in his tweets. I understand that Key and Tristan are in the picture with him but I would rather him be putting that hashtag than anything else

Committed to OU. Said his decision came down to UCLA, A&M, and OU.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coach Dub getting lots of support on Twitter from recruits.

Nice...if you find the, can you post some of the tweets on here?

Uggggg "wearing wristbands from multiple downtown bars". Hadn't heard that.

I can't think of any bars that give out wristbands any more. Maybe a couple but only for certain occasions.

 

 

i hate that so many people voted to get rid of the death penalty in the state.

I don't

Sad

I can only imagine how many people have lost their lives due to wrongful conviction and eventual death penalty sentence. No judicial system will ever be infallible to the point where death is a viable penalty.
