RockyMountainOySker Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The "maclin" thing lasts for about one year, maybe two. It would be like saying, "How come sweet DEs dont come to NU, Wistrom was the man" Its true, he was, but you can only feed off that for so long, you have to KEEP producing those kind of guys because kids attention spans for the history of a program is very short. Yes, but the coaches are different now than they were then too... That'd be like Utah going after someone pitching what Urban Meyer did. While I agree they have to continue to produce someone like that, Pinkel has done it, so the affect may be felt a few years. I'm sure MU doesn't try to sell recruits by telling them their great O-Coordinator made Maclin and then tell them he's gone. It's all about sales. Anyway, it sounds like Carter is ours....and I sure hope so. This kid is a pimp! Quote Link to comment

mitch7 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I still have a question about this kid. Why does scout give him a 1 start, rivals a 4 star, and espn hasn't graded him. Are they overlooking his potential or is he not as good as rivals thinks he is. I would say by his overall attributes that he could be a beast....do you guys know why this is? Quote Link to comment

kansas husker Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Says he no longer has a favorite and will probably wait until after his December visit to Missouri to decide. He wants to have another visit to compare his weeekend at Nebraska to before he decides. Looks like it's down to just us and Missouri. Rivals still has us listed as high and eveyone else as medium don't know if its updated or not Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Told Scout he will talk to his family and thinks he will make decision in less than a week or 2. Gabbert was working him to come to Nebraska; they set next to each other at the game. Quote Link to comment
kansas husker Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Just watched the video this kid is a stud GBR Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 They haven't evaluated him yet, or don't have enough to evaluate him by. He is tucked away in Louisiana and was flying under the radar. Word was before this summer that he wasn't going to make it academically, but he stuck his nose in the books and made up ground. He tore it up at some of the camps he went to, posting crazy 40 times and great verts. This guy is a draw due to pure potential. He hasn't spent much time as a receiver. For the most part he has been at QB (where the best athlete on the team is often times placed) Quote Link to comment
HSKRNOKC Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Rumor on rss is that he is ours but NOTHING official. Quote Link to comment
Spooky Tooth Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Rumor on rss is that he is ours but NOTHING official. There was a headline on Rivals that said "How NU Landed Carter". Two minutes later it was gone. Hope this one has legs. To ensure good news, here's the lucky dancing banana cob.... EDIT: That headline is currently on the RIVALS ticker....... Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 NO WHAMMY'S NO WHAMMY'S STOP! Hope he is ours. No whammy's please. And here's the dancing banana cob riding a green runny thingy. Quote Link to comment
SODAKSKERSFAN20 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Actually bad news.. Rivals Ticker is talking about Chance Carter committing to Northwestern. Rivals made it sound like a big surprise thinking that Carter was deciding between Nebraska and Notre Dame Quote Link to comment

Rivals made it sound like a big surprise thinking that Carter was deciding between Nebraska and Notre Dame In a round-about way, good news...... Curtis' dad says good news is on the way for Nebraska...... (per Rivals open board). Quote Link to comment
