girlknowsfootball Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 No HI insiders can give us the what we know synopsis? This is me pathetically groveling for info right now. My guess is that Santos is not our #1 choice at LB. He's probably a backup option to some of the other guys. There's no guarantee that any of the other guys will come on board, thus we want to keep Santos around in case... which is a delicate see-saw effect... you don't want the kid to feel like you don't want him, but then you don't want to take him unless the others shy away or commit elsewhere... so you have to keep him interested and wanting to play for us without committing or knowing he's being slow played as a "second best option". Some sites say he's 6' 193 lb 4.6 speed Some say he's 6' 205 lb 4.5 speed Either way... he is on the smaller side for a DI lb... Phillip Dillard was 240lbs (which was a little heavy, but was a big difference in size). Does that mean he's too small for us? No, because Bo likes the smaller, faster lb for his Defensive system. He can run more disguised schemes with smaller backs who disguise themselves as LB or S, or CB, and who blitz at any time. We know Santos wants N... we know the coaches "haven't been there" when he's called, we know historically speaking, that when the coaches REALLY want someone bad they do a good job of contacting that person often... so it makes me think that the coaches must think they are close to landing some of the others like maybe a Dexter Moody, or a Keith Lewis, or a Rahim Cassell, or a Denzel Perryman, or even an Anthony Wallace...

Dexter Moody and Malcolm Moulton will be visiting soon and Dexter is rumored to be more open to coming to Lincoln. As for Cassell, he is waiting for his Florida offer to commitable. He kind of jumped the gun when they contacted him with the chance that he could earn an offer. All i have read on Perryman is that he Jonathan Vilma reincarnated, and Miami might be tough to beat. But he does like us, likes our tradition so you never know. As for Anthony Wallace, who knows? One day its Oklahoma with their skyline pipeline, the next day it Texas, or UCLA. His recruitment will be a whirlwind until signing day. Link to comment
zoogs Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Haven't the insiders on this board already told us that Santos is N, and that we might take another LB in this class as well? So what effect would Santos being committed have on that? Maybe he just doesn't care about the immediate online attention and is waiting to break it to Rivals. Link to comment
Apathy Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Santos called Pelini Wednesday night and left a message and Pelini can't call him back because of some rule that the coaches are not allowed to call the recruiter. Santos also called the previous day only to talk to a different coach. EDIT: I'm not sure if he called twice or just once but for sure he did call and talk to an assistant coach and left a message for Bo. Link to comment
