roundegotrip Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Argh... well, he can be the man there instead of competing for playing time, but I hope for his sake he doesn't go the way of Owa and come to regret it. Quote Link to comment
nathanwindu Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Little surprised, considering what we'd heard leading up to this....HOWEVER, good for Quanzell, Schiano really is great at keeping those in-state recruits home, and this is a HUGE get for Rutgers. If there was a school I would've wanted him going to other than NU, it would be them. On a side note, I might've flipped a lid if he picked Iowa over us, but I'm ok with this, considering we already have 4 LB's committed, and if Afalava qualifies, it's not a huge loss. Sucks to lose him, though... Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Good luck to Q! I wanted him tho. Now let's at least be 1 of 2 for our NJ prospects. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Figured with us having 4 good lbs already....good luck to him Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 He's bigger than Rose, but I still feel Rose has better football abilities. Time will tell, best of luck at Rutgers. Quote Link to comment

Sucks to lose him, though... I'm not sure why you were surprised. For that couple of months everything reported had Nebraska 2 at best. And once found out grades weren't likly to be an issue and we got Afalava, we really didn't care he came or not. We had them rated about the same and several people think Afalava has more upside. He progressed greatly in the footage from his Sr. year. The coaches were much more excited about him in the past month than they were Q. Quote Link to comment

I agree, we have a solid LB this class, it's recruiting just gotta move on. Hopefully Fuller doesn't wanna stay close to home. Quote Link to comment

Well, I'll take your word for it, since from what I've read from you, you seem to know what you talk about....and I said I was a little surprised, moreso because I've seen it was basically down to NU and Iowa, and he went with Rutgers, which would've surprised me even more, had I not seen the article with his quotes about making his own history and such...just saying I would've liked to get this guy, as he has a really nice frame, and with proper coaching, could be something special. Just my uninformed opinion, though. Quote Link to comment

illnino Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Well crap....at least he didn't go to Iowa. I really hope Afalava makes the grades to qualify. Quote Link to comment

MLB 51 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Wasted talent for sure. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 You guys are bagging on him because he didn't go to Nebraska? He made made the choice that he thinks is right for him. I'm sorry, but NU is not the right place for everyone. So how about we be happy for him and support his decision instead of ripping on him just because he didn't pick the school we wanted him to. 2 Quote Link to comment
