Ohio Pete Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 If distance is THE factor, why are UCLA and USC on the list? I could see Cal or Wash, but LA is pretty far from Portland. No, not as far as Lincoln, but far enough (15 hours?) that taking a plane makes more sense. Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thats it! lets get a convo, drive to Oregon and show some husker love and sell this kid. If you come to NU on game day, and can turn down memorial stadium and all the red clad fans, you are insane(tunnel walk still gives me goosebumps) Quote Link to comment

No, not as far as Lincoln, but far enough (15 hours?) that taking a plane makes more sense. That's what I was wondering. If distance is so much of a factor, why are UCLA and USC still on the list? It's slightly less than a 3 hour flight from Portland, Oregon to Omaha and it's a 1 hour 45 minute flight from Portland to LA. Nebraska is just an extra hour from USC and UCLA, and this kid seems pretty bright. I guess it just confuses me as to why he wouldn't already have considered this. Quote Link to comment

I am going to take a wild guess and say that they are still there because they play Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, Stanford and Cal every year and those are much closer to home then Nebraska. I hope he comes but he has a single mother and is the oldest of 4 so I would understand how being able to see his family more often would be at the top of his list. But I think if Bo and Carl meet his mother and they are able to show her what Nebraska is all about then I believe we will have a great shot at landing him. Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I think if TO goes with, it will be a done deal. Father figure for sure!! Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I hope when Bo meets with Owa's mother that they let her know about the Oregonians for Nebraska club. It's been known that Suh's family attended quite a few of their gatherings on game day whenever they couldn't attend the actual games. It'd be a great way for her to assimilate with the Nebraska crowd and network with people. Here's their website: Oregonians For Nebraska Quote Link to comment

Nexus Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 According to HI, today after practice, Owa told a reporter: "The best fans in college football are probably Nebraska fans." Quote Link to comment
