Treand3 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Beal will be a bulldog. Johnson said he is still considering nebraska. Kudos to JP and Johnson for working on him Odds are overwhelmingly in UGAs favor. Think he decommitted from ND in part to be closer to home. A visit would be a win in itself. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 A visit is not a win. If you get him to visit and he commits elsewhere you wasted your time and you lost PERIOD. Cutthroat mentality. Only in fairyland is a visit a win. Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Can't win the lottery if you don't ever play. 0% chance anything happens without a visit. Technically he is committed to an SEC school about 50 minutes away from his home, so a visit this late is a win.I get what you're saying but a lot is working against Nebraska here. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 A two-year starter for Nebraska at outside linebacker (1998-99), Johnson these days trains athletes in suburban Atlanta, including four-star defensive end Robert Beal — who in July verbally committed to Georgia but apparently is listening to other schools.  "We have a shot at him," Johnson told me in an interview right outside Nebraska's locker room not long after Friday's Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee. "I don't know if he's going to pull all the way from Georgia. We'll see."  Johnson thinks John Parrella gives Nebraska a chance. The first-year Husker defensive line coach was a teammate of Johnson's on the Oakland Raiders in the early 2000s.  LJS Quote Link to comment

NM11046 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 ^^^ 100%. I'd even say it's not "prospecting", but a step in the sale. Getting face time in home is a win (you know how many he turned away?. It takes many small, consistent victories to close the deal. Â Also, if we don't sign him, he speaks to his buddies from hs and around and has good things to say about JP, the program etc. Never is a face to face wasted time. Never. Quote Link to comment
theknife Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 24/7 shows him visiting the Gamecocks this weekend and it's his 5th official. Does this mean no DE in 2017? Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Correct me if I'm wrong. But, he's kind of the wrong type of DE for us now...isn't he? Quote Link to comment
theknife Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Correct me if I'm wrong. But, he's kind of the wrong type of DE for us now...isn't he? I think he would be like a stand up OLB like Demarcus Ware in a 3-4. I don't know enough about the system though. It will be interesting to see what shakes out at DE this Spring.

Redux Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Smart kid.dump banker and hire a competent DC and maybe we win on some of these much needed game changer recruits like Beal and Holmes Step 1: Check... Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think the other Thomas (Deontre) could play a 3-4 DE. Quote Link to comment
