mitch7 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I want to wish Owa a genuine "good luck" with his career. I am very impressed with how he handled everything (seriously) and if he decides that football is not for him after we beat down UCLA in a couple of years I am sure he will be able to find another satisfying career. Here is to a long and successful collegiate/NFL career 1 Quote Link to comment
illnino Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I really thought that out of the "Big Three," Owa was the safest bet to become a Husker. While it sucks that we didn't get him, we shouldn't bash the kid for what he thinks is best for him and his family. Good Luck Owa, and to HuskerBruin, no hate from me buddy. Congrats on a great player Quote Link to comment
HuskerNMO Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 What a day for UCLA Owa- 5* #8 National Josh Shirley- 4* #137 National Anthony Jefferson- 4* #170 National Jordan Zumwalt- 4* #205 National Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Question to ponder: Who will be at UCLA longer, Owa Odighizuwa or Rick Neuheisel? Neuheisel has never coached at a school longer than four years, and he's been at UCLA for two already. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskerBruin Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 A lot of fUCLA talk going on here. I better retire from this thread before the natives turn on me. Peace. Come on now Bruin...we wouldn't do that to you. Just say you love the Huskers more then the Bruins and do the wild cob for us and you are golden. But seriously no hate needs to go to UCLA whatsoever. I really hope Owa is great, makes it to the NFL, and provides for his family...he deserves it IMO. If I was Owa...let me tell you it would be tough to turn down going to UCLA. They have some good lookin ladies there. No doubt about that. My UCLA friends (and my wife, who was a UCLA athlete!) hate it when I say it, but I root for Nebraska if/when they ever play each other. GBR! Quote Link to comment
mmmtodd Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 What a day for UCLA Owa- 5* #8 National Josh Shirley- 4* #137 National Anthony Jefferson- 4* #170 National Jordan Zumwalt- 4* #205 National they just grabbed Deitrich Riley as well, some big safety recruit. Quote Link to comment
BlackshirtDomination Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 At least we weren't recruiting Calvin Smith who chose New Mexico over Alabama, Tennessee, Florida St., or Illinois! Quote Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 It will take a long time for me to get over what Owa would have done here. O well, life goes on. Heres to a top 10 class next year. 1 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Simi, Jason, Owa. Next year! is the year we finally land the 5* DE with late interest. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jason Sitoke Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 90% of the responses to the Owa thing here are very reasonable. To the other 10%, I know you're going to hate so I won't talk you out of it. At least wait until 2012 to see if this guy's even a player. This isn't NFL free agency. It's not like we just lost out on a known quantity. NU competed against the top schools for some pretty prime athletes in a recruiting year that looked very modest most of the season, and won more than their fair share of battles. Recruiting is like professional gambling. You do your homework and better your odds. They did a ton of work to target the athletes that they did, and used the momentum from our late season push to close on some guys with some great upside. A better discussion at this point would be what 4* guys will be contributing in 3 years, and which ones will we have to rack our brains to even remember? You know there will be a couple of each.

I don't want to see you at the hotels, I don't want you near my house. When you see our coaches, I want to know a day in advance, so I won't be there. You understand?" 1 Quote Link to comment
