QMany Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ohhh, recruiting. Mike Schaeffer of 247Sports.com has the latest on the saga surrounding Orlando, Fla. receiver Dominic Walker. He’s a Nebraska verbal commitment, but he took an Auburn visit last weekend and was reportedly considering the Tigers’ offer. That prompted a chat Monday with Tim Beck and Rich Fisher, which Walker recapped thusly: “I heard from the Husker staff after the visit and they wanted to know if I’m considering Auburn and all of that,” Walker said. “I talked with coach (Rich) Fisher and coach (Tim) Beck. They didn’t understand. They were actually mad.” But by the time Fisher and Bo Pelini arrived in Florida for an in-home visit later that night, heads had apparently cooled? “They were OK tonight but they don’t want me to take anymore visits,” (Walker) said. “I told them I wasn’t going to, before they even asked. I’m done with visits. They weren’t mad. We were just talking.” Walker said he’s still a Nebraska commit but he also confirmed to 247Sports.com that he’ll host Auburn coaches today. This exasperates me, a person who only begrudgingly details this sort of stuff. I can’t imagine what it’s like being a coach. http://hailvarsity.com/2013/01/hot-reads-everybodys-doing-it/ Link to comment
HuskerT Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Have a bad feeling this isn't over yet, don't like the fact that Auburn will get the last in-home visit with him. Link to comment
IllinoisHuskerFan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He should call them up and tell Auburn dont waste your time in coming here, Ive made up my mind. If he dosent, which I doubt he would do; then perhaps this isnt over yet...... regardless what he said to the coaches yesterday! Link to comment
dylan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 If he even hosts the auburn coaches, I would seriously consider pulling the offer. If he just told our coaches again that he is committed, it's dishonest to still be flirting with auburn. Link to comment

If he just told our coaches again that he is committed, it's dishonest to still be flirting with auburn. or he wants to discuss it in person with the Auburn coaches rather than dumping them via a text/phone call? give the kid the benefit of the doubt here.

dylan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't know the details or what he told our coaches, I just know that committed players don't have meetings with other schools and I expect our coaches feel the same. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 We as fans have the freedom to have certain attitudes towards events. I personally am tired of the drama around him. Either he is coming to Nebraska or not. He needs to man up and tell people where he stands. If this were 6 months ago I would be much more understanding. But, it is getting down to signing day and the coaches and other players decisions lay in the balance. It's time to be a grown up. That said, the coaches don't have that luxury. They are forced to keep playing the recruiting game. Our team would be better with him but we will be fine without him if that is what he chooses. Link to comment
dylan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The coaches aren't forced to do anything. They can drop him and walk away of they feel like he's not being up front with them. Honesty and character matter. As I said, I don't know how the conversation with the kid went, but it sure sounds like he indicated to the coaches that he was all in. Hard to reconcile that with continuing to meet with another school. And maybe he is just meeting with auburn to say 'thanks, but no thanks', but there's no reason that couldn't be done over the phone. Link to comment
irieboy8 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 still makes me nervous.... Link to comment
huskergeorge990 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He's either staying or not. Hope he does stay committed, he is a good looking wide receiver and we can always use more of those. Though, if there is one position we can take a loss at it is wide receiver. Link to comment

Amac3309 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Remember he was committed to vandy when he was coming to see us, then de committed for us, would it totally shock anyone to see it again? Seems like the kids that change their minds don't just do it once... Link to comment
QMany Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I got tired of his piddle-paddling around. So I let him have a piece of my mind on Twitter ... @DW_SHOWTIME4 Should stay committed to the #Huskers. O will be lethal. Or play for team that only beat LA-Monroe, New Mexico St. & Bama A&M?

Can't see that helping the situation. Link to comment
