Ratt Mhule Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 UCLA should've been a night-game and huge recruiting opportunity. With our other big games being in November we're boned. I have a feeling it will only get worse next year, thank you B1G. I thought protocol was to blame Obama for everything...? Quote Link to comment

We do that and it don't matter what time we play recruits will start falling into place. Quote Link to comment

Recruits will follow succesful BCS programs more so than primetime games. I guess what Im trying to say is if we keep winning and go to Michigan undefeated that will impress recruits more than ESPN/ABC/FOX game of the week.... by the way I believe kickoff is at 9AM UCLA time Quote Link to comment
dylan Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Winning matters most, but getting kids on campus for games is key for our recruiting and most kids can't make it for early kick offs. This kid, being a few hours away, should be an exception. Get him up here for UCLA. Quote Link to comment
gohogs14 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Has taken OVs to Florida and South Carolina. Is set to go to Arkansas July 19 and wants to use another OV here. Thinks that might be all he has time for this summer. He said Florida was the nicest campus he's been to by far but South Carolina felt more like home. He has the best relationships built over time with Arkansas and seemed pretty excited to get up there soon. He is also very excited about Nebraska. He knows about all the guys that have come from Fort Scott and gone there. He says he plans on visiting us 3-4 weeks from now if he can find a ride. This is just my two cents... but here's my take... he didn't think South Carolina's facilities were very nice after seeing Florida. I think he's going to see ours and think they're just as nice as Florida. He is about to go to Arkansas and visit them, and I've been there... it's nothing impressive. They won't win a lot this year. They can't fill the stadium and when they do play the big teams and fill it, their fans leave by half time if they're down. I really think that we have a shot here if we can get him on campus. He's not going to be taking OV's during the season because at the JUCO level all their games are on Saturdays and he doesn't seem to have transportation to drive by himself. So I really think We will be in the final 3 and it will be a close race. He said himself there's a good chance he doesn't get out to see Georgia or some of the others that have offered him from the SEC. And he is from North Carolina and has already lived way away from home for a couple years. Call me crazy but I think IF we get him on campus... we have a good shot. We had 51,000 for our spring game this year I really have no idea where Lamin will end up. It seems like he has a different leader every week...whoever gets him will get a really good player though. My guess would be south carolina unless we really impress this weekend. Quote Link to comment

We don't even know if we will get a visit. Even if we do. I still put our chances at 20% or less. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I think he ends up visiting this weekend. He's already been to Auburn and our coaches are pushing hard. If we get a visit I think we're in his top 3. He also said he's going to decided before his season which is Aug 24th. Maybe well get lucky and get 2 DT that week. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 "I am learning towards visiting Nebraska next weekend...." Lamin told the recruiting website. "I will know what I am going to do by Monday or Tuesday. Definitely by Tuesday." http://journalstar.com/sports/huskers/life-in-the-red/a-visit-coming-from-juco-dt/article_69ef29a4-f2e3-11e2-b45e-0019bb2963f4.html Quote Link to comment
Huskball Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I know Nebraska is in his Top 6, but it almost seems like he is toying with us. Visit or no visit, I'm not convinced of a true interest. I think it hurts a bit that it wouldn't be during a gameday, but we'll take it. Quote Link to comment
Savage Husker Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 More telling sign is we just offered another DT...IMO Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 More telling sign is we just offered another DT...IMOP If the new offer was a JUCO then I think it would be telling about Amin, but either way I don't like our chances here. Need to get Pelon in and close. Quote Link to comment

Need to get Pelon in and close. It would be foolish to disagree. To me, it seems a little more than a coincidence we offer a new kid the same time there is an update on him. It sounds like the "nice guy" lip service of a kid who has a hard time saying no. Especially how hard we're trying, plus maybe even his coach, if he still has strong ties with Bo/NEB.
