Decked Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 This is why you don't let your recruits go on "free trips". ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is that something the coaching staff can control? You can convince them to not go. Bo usually lets them go. Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 This is why you don't let your recruits go on "free trips". ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is that something the coaching staff can control? Not sure about control but lots of staffs tell you once you commit you are done taking visits...obviously not Bo's style Actually i think that is Bo style. I know it has been in the past. Maybe hes becoming more lienent, im not sure. I know they told Samuelson if he visited Michigan they would consider him a decommit, so it might depend on the recruits reasoning. I never liked how Dom put FSU in his top 2 when it was known that he really didnt have a commitable offer from them. When you put out a tweet like he did a few days ago saying your solid just wanting to have a little fun and then come back a few days later and say theres a 75% chance your going to Auburn to play with your friend, i have to question your character. 1 Link to comment

You can convince them to not go. Bo usually lets them go. Pretty sure that is exact opposite Bo ussually takes with commits taking other visits. If you take other visits you're no longer considered a commit. Probably why NU is actively recruiting 3 other kids with another on the back burner. Damn you Fowler!! =) Link to comment
Amac3309 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Seen some talk that he would be a much better safety and would be a prime candidate for us to move him Link to comment

HuskerFowler Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I almost bet he doesnt have a commitable offer from Auburn or he would have flipped on his visit. Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I almost bet he doesnt have a commitable offer from Auburn or he would have flipped on his visit. Didn't have an offer going into this weekend. Now, some sites have Auburn offering. Link to comment

girlknowsfootball Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 The truth is... ppl are out there looking to sell stories to increase hype and drams... some ppl get a kick out of that. This kid was solid to NU when he committed and had thought about us for months before he did. There is possibility he could have been so impressed with Auburn that it made him think... but I mean, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if this has turned into the game of telephone and what he originally said is completely off base now. 2 Link to comment
kchusker_chris Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 These last few weeks of recruiting are going to be heavy on drama. we've been on the positive end of most of it this year though. looking good so far. dan was a kick in the nuts - but nothing like losing out on Peat or Owa. we've got some momentum going right now. last year a full 1/3 of the class was taken within 2 weeks of signing day. We've signed 8 since around the 1st. I wish we could figure out how to close on this many kids in June/July/August. Link to comment

We had more early commits this year than last. The staff understands that Ohio St, Michigan, and Penn St as well as other SEC and PAC 12 schools are going after it hard and they will need to do the same to keep pace. With that said, it has paid off for them in some regards to be a little patient. Taylor was committed elsewhere and Newby was under the radar so sometimes that pans out. Link to comment
