huskerhead59 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Darnay's girlfriend just posted a tweet of pic's of Darnay. In one picture, he's catching a pass with a Cane's billboard in the background. It's over. And then she posted a happy message - so he's staying in LA. No way that she's happy if he's leaving.This. He's staying home Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I'd like to remind anyone watching this thread that just a week ago we thought there was zero chance we'd even be on a short list for Darnay. The surge in possibility at the end of the week was exciting, but let's not crash and get all negative if/when we hear that he's not coming here. There are very good players that have committed to Nebraska, and we'll hopefully see Calvin do so today. Let's celebrate that and the recruiting wins - not go down a rabbit hole of negativity. 1 Quote Link to comment

There are very good players that have committed to Nebraska, and we'll hopefully see Calvin do so today. Let's celebrate that and the recruiting wins - not go down a rabbit hole of negativity. I agree, but this was the class that was going to change that narrative. This is a typical nebraska recruiting class that is hovering the the 20's or 30's in rank. We have a few fresh that will come in and contribute, a lot that need a redshirt year and some weight and speed to get ready for the next level. I am not going to be disappointed if we don't get holmes, but if we miss out on Lewis, Johnson, Lenoir, and the rest of California connection it will be disappointing and hard not to be a little on the negative side. The probable finish for this class is right around a 25 ranking, which seems to be the status quo. We saw on the field this year that the talent needs to change for us to get out of the 4 loss rut. Here's to hoping we land some big guys to finish this class. 1 Quote Link to comment
gorp512 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Sounds like USC sold mom on playing close-to-home and sold Darnay on being the next Adoree Jackson.We're selling him on being the first Darnay Holmes at Nebraska.Which is great and all.. I get it.. He could become his own brand at NU but you don't get the exposure if you can't win big games. Now do I see him getting the exposure next year at USC that he would at Nebraska? No way. He has a plan of playing 3 years and being a 1st round draft pick. No matter what Nebraska says we don't do that as well as Ohio State or USC. I am sure it's the hope of all these top prospects-the NFL- but this isn't basketball. With each level, the game becomes less and less translatable to the next level. Even Sarrell isn't a lock to be good in the NFL. Just hard to imagine an 17 year old kid already aiming to be a first round pick in three years. Jabril Peppers isn't even a lock Quote Link to comment

One of these years we need some of these star powered guys take the leap and jump on board because it would of make a difference. these coaches are doing a great job getting them on campus which is a great start. It's a matter of time in my opinion Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Member that time MattyIce rallied us all into believing we had a shot with Darnay? Member when he picked USC and broke all our hearts and made MattyIce cry anf eat a gallon of Ben & Jerry's? Quote Link to comment
SODAKSKERSFAN20 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Bleacher Report video leaked of Darnay committing to USC. Yes I know there are probably different endings. Also why have a video if you're committing at the game? Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Well better USC than Ohio state. Best of luck Darnay we could've really used you here Quote Link to comment
