Blackshirtsguru Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 DE Jacquies Smith Dallas (TX) South Oak Cliff 6-foot-4 220 lbs Visit Date: 01-17-08 Scholarships offered: Michigan State, Missouri, Nebraska, A&M, Fresno St, Baylor, Colorado, Colorado St Favorites: Michigan State, Missouri, Nebraska, A&M Rankings/Stars: Rivals: Bid Red Report: Assessing the talent: Smith is a DE/OLB combo. His stock started rising over this past summer and is still on it's way up, He is visiting Nebraska on the 17th and then he is traveling to Missouri on the 19th. The only other visit Smith has taken was to Michigan St. Smith stated that he is hoping to end his recuriting search by next week. This one popped up on the radar due to recently hired RB's coach Tim Beck. Beck is in Texas as we speak beating the bushes looking for recruits. He made a personal visit to Smith yesterday and set up the visit to Lincoln. Smith stated that he has been talking to Coach Beck when he was at KU. Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: I would say right now we got about a 40% chance of landing Smith. Reason I have this percentage up so high is due to the fact that Smith and Coach Beck already know each other. After he takes his visits to Nebraska and Missouri I think we all will get a better feel for where Smith is looking to go. Quote Link to comment

I hope he can lock this one up. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 I would be highly impressed if Coach Beck snagged this kid with only 2 weeks of recruiting for Nebraska! Quote Link to comment

Blackshirtsguru Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Smith liked his trip and was really happy with the coaching staff. He also loved how the current players like Bo. He is being recruited as a SAM LB. Smith won't make any decisions until after he takes all of his visits. Quote Link to comment

Street Novelist Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 After watching his highlight reel on Rivals, I would hope they would put him on the defensive line. He sure knows how to take down a QB! Quote Link to comment
MUTigerFan Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Word from PowerMizzou is that we (Mizzou) got this big kid today. More official stuff to follow. Easily one of Mizzou's best recruiting classes ever. I may have to attend my first Husker's game this Oct. As I was writing this, Rivals changed him to 'solid verbal' to Mizzou. Quote Link to comment
