Redout Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Well I'm not quite sure, but I will tell you he is nowhere on the recruiting board on any of the services although I understand that stuff may not matter, but right now we have a commitment from the #4 linebacker in the nation, Dillard from Oklahoma and also on tied with USC for the Number 1 backer in the country Rey Maulauga. He is from SO Cal, so it might be tough, but he knows he'll get playing time. Quote Link to comment

deliveryman35 Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 We lost to a mediocre Ark. team, at best, imo. I'm afraid you're right, we've got more work to do. We play Southern Miss in couple of weeks. Don't feel bad losing to them, they have come to our house and beaten us before. Quote Link to comment

gamecocks Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 With Dillard and Covey already giving us a solid verbal plus still having a chance to get that kid from So Cal. I don't know if getting another linebacker commitment would be wise. We need to make sure that Dillard and if we get that kid for So Cal, that they believe that they can come in here and get solid playing time right away. We don't want to give them a reason to think other wise. Quote Link to comment

Maulagua is tough as nails. I don't think this kid from Lincoln would ever see the field, but on the other hand never underestimate the power and toughness of a hometown Nebraska kid.

Benard Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Were not going after him because we have a new coach named Bill callahan and he runs a west coast offense so he goes after out of state players. We will only be getting about 2 players per year from the state. Just how it's going to be. Quote Link to comment
RedCountry Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I agree with Benard. Im afraid this may be nothing more than lip service from Cally to appease NU fans and HS coaches ... . Quote Link to comment
Oklahoma Husker Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Or maybe it has nothing to do w/ Callahan. Seeing as Kevin Cosgrove is the defensive coordinator, he probably decides who he wants to play his defense. He could feel that the kid isn't right for his D. Quote Link to comment

PRobably is more of Downing the recruiting cordinator but mainly Callahan who makes the final decisions. Cosgrove and other coaches can give their input but Callahan is final decision.

gamecocks Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I believe that you are right Bernard. Downing has the most to do with who we go after but Callahan has the final decision. Quote Link to comment
SteveRyan Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 There's no politics in not offering Gritton. While Brent is one helluva heady player ande he has superb instincts for the game and you will not find anyone that tries harder than he does, he still doesn't have the explosiveness that NU is looking for. His side-to-side speed just isn't that good. If he was two-tenths faster, the kid would be an All-American, but he's not and speed kills and not having it kills you. That's the only downside to Gritton, but it's a pretty significant downside. Quote Link to comment
