Street Novelist Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 will be interesting to see if Cal is still one of his favorites given the back-to-back beatings they received from Oregon and USC Quote Link to comment
GlobalHusker Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 SCOUT says that Notre Dame and Indiana dropped their offers....we're the only offer he has. Hmm...makes me wonder why. But, if we're still recruiting him he must be the real deal. I guess this improves our odds of him being N! Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 It sounds like there's some kind of problem with this kid. When schools start pulling offers (Notre Dame, Indiana, Wisconsin), it makes you stop and wonder. Quote Link to comment

Ohio Pete Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 He says it might be because he's hasn't shown any interest in them. Quote Link to comment
Husker_x Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yeah, seems awful fishy with this guy. We'll see how it plays out. Quote Link to comment
BigBL87 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Wouldn't surprise me if it was academic issues, considering they were Big 10 schools and Notre Dame that dropped their offers. The entrance requirements for those schools are higher than most in the Big 12, if I remember correctly. It is very possible he could not qualify at those schools and qualify here.

zoogs Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 To the point where they're not even willing to take a chance on him? Sounds more like an indictment of talent. If he's that good, you take the shot, slim odds or not. Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Notre Dame has 3 commitments from defensive ends and were interested in Carter only if he would play tackle. espnchicago.com: "We sat at a table, and [Notre Dame football coach] Charlie Weis wanted to know if he could play at another position," Weinstein (his former high school basketball coach) said. "They should have told him that before. They prodded him for five hours trying to figure out if he could be a defensive tackle. In my 16 years of being in recruiting, if you sign someone else, the scholarship is gone. That's fine. As long as you tell it how it is, my guys have no problem. It didn't come out the right way. "It was very disappointing. It's unfortunate. Chance was offered by Notre Dame as a sophomore. He's been down there so much. It was a school he really liked and he wanted to go to. He told Stanford no because he was going to Notre Dame. Now, that's gone. Chance is back at square one, which is unfortunate." Carter prefers not to discuss what happened at Notre Dame. He did mention Nebraska and Northwestern as two schools who were recruiting him. Weinstein also included Boston College, California and Minnesota in that mix." Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I think the message is to not worry about what Notre Dame does or does not do. No matter how many games they win, no matter how many 5 players they get, Charlie Weiss is big fat jerk and always will be. Quote Link to comment

Street Novelist Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Scout: "With the addition of Rock Bridge High defensive end, Chase Rome, to the 2010 recruiting class, the question is, who's next? 6-foot-4 250 lb Chance Carter, from Loyola Academy, Wilmette, Ill. says it's not him."

Ohio Pete Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hasn't really been focusing on recruiting and hasn't setup visits, but would love to visit Nebraska for the OU game. Says he liked the look of Nebraska's D-line last Thursday. Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Well the guy better start making some decisions some time soon. He already got his offer taken away from ND, we already have 2 DE's and are after some other very good ones and I'm sure the other teams are well on their way to having their DE's locked up. If he doesn't get on the ball he could end up playing for Illinois. Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 From what i'm reading here, the kid is his own worst enemy. He can't seem to make up his mind about what he wants to do, then after he's disappointed he apparently doesn't feel that he should have to do anything else. If he wants something out of this, he also has to make a commitment to do his part, not sit around and hope others like Northwestern offer. He is given the chance and has an offer from NU, accept it or keep doing nothing and lose it. Seems like the kid will blame everyone else and wont do anything for himself. Not so sure he's even the kind of guy Pelini would like on the team, seems lazy and selfish. Quote Link to comment
