HuskerMack Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 He needs to come here so I can buy his Jersey for my Kid since we have the same last name !!!! Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 It is a Clemson/UF battle, with Nebraska fighting uphill (big time). But you never know what can happen at a night game in Memorial Stadium. Uphill - if that hill were the equivalent of Everest, then yes it's an uphill battle. Just a few days ago his final 4 did not include Nebraska, and now he is willing to visit. Makes little sense why he has a sudden interest in visiting. The reason is his pal, Bullard is coming in and both of these long shots decided to take, as has been mentioned before, a free trip to what is a "big time game" Quote Link to comment
GoBigRed66 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 i hope they dont already have their mind made up, but its starting to sound that way! Quote Link to comment
killer cacti Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Bullard & Watkins were in Death Valley for the FSU game earlier today. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 The reason is his pal, Bullard is coming in and both of these long shots decided to take, as has been mentioned before, a free trip to what is a "big time game" Actually, I know that's not it. Bullard has wanted to take a trip to Lincoln for months, and is genuinely interested. He seriously loves the coaching staff, and isn't a longshot. Are we the favorite, no. But we are by no means trailing by alot either. Could end up being a Zack Bowman like situation. Kid who everyone thought was headed elsewhere, but quietly kept Nebraska in it for months and always wanted to take a visit. Took his visit, and fell in love. With Watkins, it's the opposite. His buddy likes the Huskers, but Watkins has never been that interested in Nebraska. Did not even put us in his final 4, then he solidifies his visit plans to come see us. Just weird with him.

teachercd Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 These guys are usually not even die hard CFB fans, so the hassle (yes it is a hassle) of coming to a campus for the weekend to watch a game is not something they plan just to see a game. These are not 40 year old men. These are kids. Quote Link to comment
killer cacti Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Could end up being a Zack Bowman like situation. Funny story. I grew up with Bowman (that's what we knew him as). He moved to Alaska when we were in middle school. I'm going to Chicago in December for work. I've gotten in touch with him and I'm going to meet up with him when I'm up there. Quote Link to comment
killer cacti Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Watkins will announce at his game on October 18. Quote Link to comment
GoBigRed66 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 When you see him or talk to him, tell him to go to Nebraska damn it! GBR! Beat Whisky! Quote Link to comment

HuskerFowler Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Sean Callahan said that Bullard is up in the air for OSU because he hasnt taken the ACT yet. Hes taking it this week and it needs to be sent to the NCAA and clear before he can take an official. He was pretty confident that even if he didnt make it to OSU that he would come later down the road. He praised JP for us being on him as long as we have, and it sounds like Bullard is somewhat interested, unlike Watkins. Which in the long run might be better. Maybe he cant make it to OSU so neither come, and Bullard comes later with a family member, or solo. Also sounds like we will be taking 17 or 18 this year, which sounds much better then 13-14 Quote Link to comment
killer cacti Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I got a strong feeling Watkins is going to be a Tiger. His mama wants him in Clemson, so I think that's where he ends up. Quote Link to comment
