"It's basically a soft commitment," Brown said.

 

 

Even if he were to commit, can we trust him to stay firm on it until signing day??

 

You know once a cheater, always a cheater.

Assessing the talent: He had a dozen sacks and close to 100 tackles. He’ll need to work at the weights and improve his grades a little bit. He’s best as a stand up Defensive end where he can rush hard and fast against an OT.

 

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 50%

[NamelessHusker]

He is going to be a Husker. If he commits, James Poe will commit that same day and vice versa

[NamelessHusker]

He has decommitted from Illinois and has the Huskers on top as a leader, followed by Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Michigan St.

 

Has setup his remaining visits

 

Mich St 11/18

Oklahoma 11/25

Illinois 12/3

Missouri 12/10

Vashon's Brown tires of the process

Kirkwood's Jeremy Maclin missed connections on a chance at an interception in the Thanksgiving Day game, but he's hoping to connect with a major college soon. He has given Oklahoma an oral commitment.

A week ago, Vashon's Jerry Brown said he would probably wait until national signing day in February before announcing his college destination.

 

Now, with the senior defensive end growing weary of the process, Brown might cancel his three remaining official visits and make a commitment in the next few days.

 

"I might still go on to do it (on signing day), I'm undecided," Brown said. "It's to the point now where I'm getting tired of it. I'm going to weigh my options. I might still take my visits."

 

Brown, the two-time Public High League defensive player of the year, committed to the University of Illinois in June, but then backed off that pledge. He took his first official visit to Nebraska in late October, which he enjoyed, and then took an official visit to Oklahoma last weekend.

 

"Things went great up at Oklahoma," Brown said. "It was kind of the same as Nebraska, but I felt more welcome there. After this last visit I'm starting to get tired of recruiting. Very tired."

 

Brown has an official visit to Illinois scheduled this weekend, and is set to make official visits to Missouri (Dec. 9) and Tennessee (Jan. 13) over the next two months. The Vashon senior said he would wait until Friday to decide whether or not he would make any more visits.

[NamelessHusker]

I wouldn't expect him to take all 5 visits.

waitaminute. is the kids saying that he felt more at home in Nebraska or Oklahoma?

 

cause, i just don't see Oklahoma fans being as cool as Nebraska fans. not that saying that sooner fans are bad or anything, i'm just saying that can't be as cool as us.

 

am i baised?

 

... maybe... but that don't mean i ain't right.

Decision looks likely before the month is out.

Likely OU bound but then again..OU is as deep as NU at DE, so if he's willing to play DT..that might swing some lead in our favor

[NamelessHusker]

90% sure he is headed to OU according to someone close to him but he isn't sure when he will make the announcement. Could be he's struggling with another school and that's probably why he hasn't come out and said who it is. Still put my money on OU

hello, I heard that he was going to commit today, & I was hoping that it was going to be NU, because of a wk ago, I was listening to crabtree who said that brown was NU's to lose, but brown was all along il to lose - since, he committed there early, then wavered & wanted to visit others schools, & tempted a few of them in the process (NU & ou), & then w/ a complete 360 he chose il, again

 

- the last couple of wks have shown to me that the recruiting gurus really should not be taken to seriously, since they only know (or pretend to know) only slightly more than the average fan of football recruiting knows (or pretends to known):

 

crabtree - brown is NU's to lose, wallace's top 2 are NU & pa st (w/ no mention of oh st), & deas is NU's to lose (by the end of the wk deas sets 4 visits to 4 different schools, which shows that there are plenty of schools in the running for his services)

 

oh well, merry x-mas
