Red Five Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Samuel McKewon @swmckewonOWH 20s20 seconds ago FYI - I asked Willie Sykes via text if he was considering Arkansas. He texted back "Na." #huskers #whateverbielemahashtagsthesedays This was just last night Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The story was Arky had been making a push. Did he actually flip his commitment? Yes. Would have been good to have him but if we had to loose anyone, it would be him, imo. I wasn't that high on him anyway and I really didn't think we had that big of a need for another DB.

Ya. bummer to lose anyone but if he is willing to flip that easily, not sure if I want anyone who flips to a school without visiting it... Doesnt make sense. Quote Link to comment

Maybe he was upset that he was our backup plan to begin with, but this is the recruiting business and these things tend to happen. Also, he didn't have a long-term relationship with our staff, so the key for the 2016 season is to create the relationship early, and cultivate them throughout the season. I think it would be harder for a recruit to say no in that situation, though I realize Paulo did that with Cav. Quote Link to comment

TonyStalloni Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I was wondering today who would be the first kid to uncommit before tomorrow. Quote Link to comment

Actually the staff had been recruiting him since they were with Oregon st 1 Quote Link to comment
presidentjlh Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 We have plenty of safeties, it's not as big of a loss as, say, LB. Quote Link to comment
