lionsfan93 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 He recently named a suprising top four made up of Nebraska, North Carolina St, Syracuse, and West Virginia. He has been in contact with JP and scheduled his first official for Nebraska on Oct. 8th...go figure. Quote Link to comment

Lava Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Very strange top 4 given the offer list. Interesting. Quote Link to comment
bournehusker Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It's not that surprising of a final four. All the other schools mentioned are under investigation for paying players so they have probably cut their payroll. Now since there is no obvious monetary advantage in institutions he can choose based on quality of dollars. Quote Link to comment
bournehusker Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Quality....not dollars. Sorry about the typo. Quote Link to comment
lionsfan93 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Very strange top 4 given the offer list. Interesting. I agree, very interesting. The offer list is legit though, I guess a lot of these schools that have offered him are filling up and do not have as much of a need for LBs. My big question is if he wants do we take Nance or Lambert if one them wants too? Quote Link to comment

caveman99 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I suppose it is possible that the staff wants to take 4 lb's, though I would've thought that if they did that one would be a JUCO. Quote Link to comment

Nance is the most liekly out of the two, Lambert is a long shot ta this point. Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I think we absolutely take 4 in that situation. We lose David and May this year and then we lose Compton, Fisher, Stoddard, and Whaley next year. We only brought in 2 guys this year and 0 the year before. We do have some young walk ons who look promising in Trevor Roach and Derek Slaughter... but outside of these 2 scholarship and 2 walkons we are going to have no one in 2 years. We desperately need to bring in some guys in 2012... we need 4 guys in this class. My prediction: Michael Rose, Deion Jones, Tyrone Neal, Brian Nance. Combine those 4 guys with David Santos, Max Pirman, Derek Slaughter, Trevor Roach and maybe a juco kid... and we will be alright there. Quote Link to comment

If so what happened? Quote Link to comment
lionsfan93 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Was anyone else just not all that impressed with what they saw here? Very average IMO. Quote Link to comment
SECHusker Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Was anyone else just not all that impressed with what they saw here? Very average IMO. He is most likely being recruited on athletic ability and will probably play OLB instead of MLB. You can tell TJ is fast enough to compensate for mistakes, but definitely needs to work on his overall physicality. Edit: Regardless, I think he is a better overall LB candidate than Lambert. Lambert is just big, and if you are not running at him he is less effective IMO. Quote Link to comment
