teachercd Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Jeremy Crabtree "we have nothing public that has been said but privately it is said that Oregon is a MONSTER leader for him right now, he was down there for the Civil War and they are a MONSTER leader right now" I would love to get this kid, but he seems soooooo family oriented and helps his mom raise the rest of his family and has such a great respect and love for his mom and family that I think he stays closer to home.

HANC Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Not good news on this front......... Jeremy Crabtree from rivals just said on1620 the zone that Oregon has a MONSTER lead on Owa. Said that Owa was at the civil war and loved Oregon. This sux. I still hate Oregon for stealing Ngata about 5-6 years ago. Quote Link to comment
HuskerBruin Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Crabtree on USC 1620 the zone just said he has heard that Oregon is a huge favorite for Owa now. Quote Link to comment
roundegotrip Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Losing out on OO would suck, but we've got enough quality D linemen coming in already that I'm much more worried about who we're going to pick up at QB and WR at this point. Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 longshot to start with, but if his priority is to stay close to family who can blame him? IF his priority is becoming an unstoppable defensive force in college for 4 years, then Nebraska is probably his better pick. Either way, good luck to him. Quote Link to comment

Well he has been wrong many times before so here is to hoping he is wrong again Quote Link to comment
caveman99 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I hope Jeremy is wrong also, but I can see OO being really impressed at the Oregon vs. OSU game. Looked exciting on TV. Quote Link to comment
MadcatNU Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 The family connection makes a lot of sense. I would love to have him come here, but I can see why Oregon would be a very good fit too. Quote Link to comment
HuskerBruin Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I hope Jeremy is wrong also, but I can see OO being really impressed at the Oregon vs. OSU game. Looked exciting on TV. I agree that the atmosphere looked electric in Eugene (as it always is), but I'm a little surprised he would be leaning toward OU or OSU considering there was absolutely no defense in that game. Both offenses are above average, but they looked like pro offenses going against high school defenses. Either OO sees immediate playing time at OU or he simply wants to stay close to home, because I don't see how he comes away from that game thinking that he'll receive better defensive instruction at OU than at Nebraska.

MadcatNU Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 That could go two different ways. On one hand the defenses are bad, on the other there is a lot of opportunity. Those coaches could be selling it as their teams are good enough to fight for a Rose Bowl right now, imagine what they could do with defensive players like him added in. Quote Link to comment

Either OO sees immediate playing time at OU or he simply wants to stay close to home, because I don't see how he comes away from that game thinking that he'll receive better defensive instruction at OU than at Nebraska. Owa has said that he is not very interested in immediate playing time. He has stated that he wants to go to a place where he can be just another guy so he can work his way up to the top and not start at the top. He is looking for a challenge. I do believe to get this kid we are going to have to beat out Oregon. They are the main competition. This isnt the last of the ups and downs in this kid's recruitment. You have to be stupid if you dont think that we arent going to send the house on his in home visit. Suh also winning (not just being nominated for but winning) every defensive award under the sun helps us out tremendously. Suh will help us out for this one as well being from Portland. Bo's track record of putting DL in the NFL wont be ignored by anyone in this instance. 3 top 5 picks in the last 3 years (if you count Suh) is impressive. NEVER underestimate Papuchis either. NEVER.

irieboy8 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 it "helped nebraska's chances a little bit" what the heck does that mean?? that statement whomever made it doesnt sound too encouraging..... Quote Link to comment
epocSoN Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Owa said it. He is VERY tight lipped about his pick so I would say that this is not good nor is it bad. He's just keeping quiet. Quote Link to comment
