Treand3 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Unless another prospect comes out of the woodwork, he's a must imo. Quote Link to comment
nuhuskeralum Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Agree, we need to really be pulling all stops for him. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Named Purdue his leader. Lots of rumblings that he didnt fit in with the team while on his visit here, lots of reports that he was quiet and standoffish and we might have backed off a bit. Hope they have other DT they feel better about then. Quote Link to comment
nuhuskeralum Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Wow, why is it we can't find a DT? Quote Link to comment

Hope they have other DT they feel better about then. As outside observers of recruiting, these are the little tidbits that are sometimes left unsaid. So when you wonder whatever happened to "recruit A" this might be one of the reasons why talks have suddenly ceased. Bo went on record a couple years ago saying something to the effect of: "I take notes from my players that host recruiting prospects. If my own player doesn't feel a sense of connection with a potential recruit while they're here on their visit, then that person will not be putting on a Nebraska jersey. If my players can't trust him, then why should I?" Quote Link to comment

They really want to get the kids with high character on the team, that are hard workers and wont fold under the pressure. Im not saying that Kyle isnt a high character kid. Heard alot of ..he just didnt fit in... He may or may not have tried to commit, i doubt we will ever know for sure. He seemed like a very good talent i really hope they didnt shy away from him becasue hes an introvert, maybe he just likes to keep to himself and wasnt concerned with making friends, on the other hand he did wear a wife beater to the game, so who really knows whats up with this kid.

flatwaterfan Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 These kids are meeting a ton of new people in surroundings that they are not familiar with. Having people try to sell them something. Hosted by people he doesn't know or has known only for 1 or 2 days..... I'd be a bit stand-offish too.. To me this shouldn't be a consideration in the equation. Now if the kid pulled the fire alarm, got into a fight, ran up huge hotel bills and basically was rock band partying out of control. (this was at a different school a few years ago) NOW that's an issue. Quote Link to comment
ccm420 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 id have more issues with a kid acting like he owned the place, being cocky, etc. maybe hes just a quiet kid? Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Was he quiet because he didnt like the place? Sounds like he doesnt want to be here Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 My understanding is that Kyle was not a fit for our program. He had the measurables and talent to be a fit, but when he visited he didn't fit in with the players or culture at Nebraska. There has been a lot of DT talent emerge this year. We have Chase Rome, Kevin Williams, Todd Peat, Aaron Curry, Vincent Valentine. Thus, we have at least 4 VERY good players with 3+ seasons left after this season. There is not a pressing need for DT's this year... we just need 1-2 solid players and we can afford to take our time to find the guy we need for our program. Quote Link to comment
Vince R. Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Remember, a lot of times "studs" or southern kids come to nebraska thinking they can steal spots and start right away because of the "stereotypes". Claiming to be the next Suh doesn't help either. Quote Link to comment
nuhuskeralum Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Did Shortridge claim to be the next Suh? I didn't see that, I know Toby Johnson said that. Either way those are big shoes to fill but if your going to dream you might as well dream big. Quote Link to comment

SECHusker Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 This bum committed to purdue today Oh well. Would definitely prefer 2 juco DTs this cycle. We need an immediate difference maker on the Dline next year. Quote Link to comment
