DeathCultArmaggedon Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I think this kid will be amazing, and will most likely have 5 stars by the end of his recruiting period. Picking up Alonzo will help us in many more ways than one. Quote Link to comment
huskernumerouno Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 He certanly has the physical parts to be all everything. This would be a huge steal to get him and his brother. GBR Quote Link to comment

DeathCultArmaggedon Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Committed to Texas. ya gotta wonder if his brother can change that though. While I know it is still very early, I can't help but feel disheartened that Chris would pull the trigger so early. Perhaps him and Alonzo aren't as close as we thought? Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 It sucks, but its so damn early... A lot of scenarios could help or hurt us. If Lucky has a breakout season as well as our team that could get tons of attention or say Texas picks up a couple better backs and makes him mad, etc... Either way we still got a good player in Alonzo Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Still way too early to take this commitments seriously. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan500 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Committed to Texas. whaaaaatt? Alanzo is a liar, jk but man I thought he would give a serious look at NU Quote Link to comment
sessamoid Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Still way too early to take this commitments seriously. Mack Brown doesn't lose in-state early commits. These guys pretty much always stick. OOS commits is a different story, but I can't even remember one that decommitted except those that were avid depth chart watchers, which Whaley isn't.

While I agree that Mack Brown does have a reputation for solidifying in-staters early on, I think that when family becomes involved things are a little different. Our shot at Chris all depends on what he hears about Nebraska from his big bro. Quote Link to comment
huskernumerouno Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Unless he completley shuts down recruiting, I would venture to say we have not heard the last on this. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 If he doesn't mind getting tackled by his brother let him stay with Texas. Quote Link to comment
hack Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 If he doesn't mind getting tackled by his brother let him stay with Texas. way too early, but it may be that the kid *really* likes texas and has always seen himself in burned orange. remember, we lost a kid this year because tA&M overlooked him or just assumed he'd walk-on. as soon as the offer was made, he was an aggie. not everyone wants to be a cornhusker. i know, that just doesn't sound right but sometimes it's true. or it could be he wants to be on his own team and not be know as 'the little brother of alanzo'. who knows? anyhow, it's way too early to call it.

Ryan Perriloux ditched at the last second. Not in-state, but pretty high profile. Also, there was a decommit several years ago that made room for Chris Simms. He does fill up pretty early, and most of those do sign, you never know. We have made some inroads into the Texas talent pool. If NU can be successful, compete in every game and win more than we lose, there is no reason to believe that we can't pull some of these players to NU. Quote Link to comment
