Brouhaha Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Was a commit back in 2011 for Purdue, I believe he didn't qualify. So, when he got to JUCO and restarted his recruitment he committed to Purdue again, back in early May. Believe there's a real chance here. Will visit for Michigan game this weekend. Says that he considers himself committed to Purdue but believes that he should make sure it's the right place for him first. I reaaalllly want this guy, seems like a stud. Really quick guy for his size, with an aggressive manner. Seems like a pretty soft commit from what I've been hearing. Link to comment
Treand3 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Agreed and we need him. DE depth is suspect next season. Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 He broke his leg before the season started. Hopefully it heals good and he doesnt end up like Fisher and be jittery on it. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 He broke his leg before the season started. Hopefully it heals good and he doesnt end up like Fisher and be jittery on it. I'd rather have a DE try to come back from a broken leg than a LB. Barry Turner still did pretty well after his (much better than Fisher IMHO), even though he clearly wasn't the same afterwards. If not for the broken leg, this kid looks like a total beast! Let's not screw up Jason Pierre-Paul part deux. Get him N! Link to comment
EZ-E Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I almost made his profile myself the other night, but this is the body type that I have been waiting for the staff to recruit. Absolutely picture perfect fit for the OLB in a 3-4. Link to comment

This right here...Texas was recruiting him along with a few SEC teams until he got hurt and then they backed off. If he does come here and gets back to 100%, we could have a real difference maker.

HuskerFowler Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Is very excited for his visit. Not sure if this has been mentioned here or not but he got hurt early in the year and is using a Med RS so he will have 3 years to play. As soon as that happened NU immediately offered him. He said his dad was happy NU joined the big ten and hoped we would recruit his son, and he seemed really happy to get the offer. He wants to see if we can compete with Michigan, and wants to see the atmosphere, said he may commit on the spot if he likes it. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yet another reason we need to beat Michigan this weekend. Biggest recruiting weekend yet. The repercussions of losing another primetime game like this would be very far reaching for NU. Link to comment

Yeah I also have heard that he is the most likely of any of the recruits to commit on the spot. Link to comment
irieboy8 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 was really impressed and excited by what he saw at the game yesterday....... Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I think he is ours, and soon Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 He said his visit was even better than he expected and that everything was going real well. Other recruits there said this guy was loving every moment of it. I think he is ours. Link to comment
nuhuskeralum Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 He seems like an upgrade over LaCouture, too bad Christian wouldn't consider moving inside to DT, but not fast enough to play DE IMO. It looks like Gregory has a motor and strength and speed, a good fit for what we need at the postion. Link to comment
