np_husker Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Younger Cotton also coming to Nebraska It's two-for-one time. Ben Cotton just told the Journal Star that he's pulling out of a commitment to Louisville and will attend Nebraska next season. Cotton is a stud tight end from Ames, Iowa. His dad, Barney, is a former Husker player and coach, who is expected to join Bo Pelini's staff. Brian Christopherson will have more soon. Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Always good to have a quality TE! Link to comment
REDSTEEL Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 That's great, Nebraska always needs a great TE. He'll learn to be tough as hell since Ron Brown will be coaching TE. Link to comment

np_husker Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Assuming it's true, it will be nice to be on the receiving end of a recruit changing his mind! Link to comment

Dan_F_30 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I hope it wasn't deal of if I hire you will your kid come? Not saying it was just thinking out loud. ya, it could be percieved that way, but I think Cotton was going to be hired regardless... Link to comment
COHUSKER Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I just found this on the LJS website. Ben Cotton to Nebraska Rivals has the Ben at #25 linebacker in the nation and #2 in Iowa. Link to comment
dbetz23 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I think he commited to Louisville, then de-commited once Barney joined the staff. Link to comment
huskerswrkhavoc Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 yes.. that was the case.. and there is already something about this in rumorville.. it was only a matter of time before Ben came back.. and linebacker? Pretty sure he is a tight end.. known the kid awhile.. and followed all this, and pretty sure he's playin tight end :| Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 That is good for him and his dad, but who knows how good the kid is. I am sure that he will be evaluated fairly. Link to comment
