RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Regardless of need this hurts our class. We wanna compete at a higher level we have to finish out on top with recruits like this. Depth may not be an immediate concern, but make no mistake it hurt. I don't think the coaches did anything wrong here, think he just got swayed at the last minute. To me I think it hurts more in the final rankings of the entire class than hurting at the WR position. If we didn't have any good WR's it would be a major blow, but given who we have now, who we have coming in the 2016 class, and the likely commits for 2017, we will be fine at wideout. We really need to get to work on the defensive line for 2017 though as that is my biggest concern moving forward. I think we have good talent at WR. My worry is that we don't have any "big" receivers working their way up. After next year, we don't have a single guy taller than 6-0. I would have sworn that Morgan was bigger but apparently not. What ever happened to Kevin Gladney? Quote Link to comment

swmohusker Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Between being a silent commit this late in the game, and then to make that docuhe video....Good day to you sir Bring on Simmons I would take Simmons everyday of the week over Fitz, Simmons has a much higher ceiling. The only problem is I don't think we get Simmons. Quote Link to comment
hskrpwr13 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 To me what sucks, is that its Louisville, not Alabama, Ohio St, etc, but a middle of the road ACC program that we're competing with and losing to recruitng-wise. IMO, this is yet another indicator of how our national perception has fallen. I do agree that he's probably not a "major" loss due to our WR depth, but landing him would've improved NU's prospective talent level at WR, increased class ranking, and therefore, helped perception.

SouthLincoln Husker Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Coaches can still make calls to recruits, maybe they have a plan B. Quote Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Let's put a kibosh on the personal attacks on Fitz or his dad. Thinking the kid made a poor choice or hurt our team is one thing. There's no need to start mud-slinging over his or his family's motivations for doing so. Let's have some class, folks. 5 Quote Link to comment

throwing bones Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Good thing we locked up the lowest rated of the package deal of butler, reese, fitzpatrick. Not saying butler isn't a good pick up, but it does make you wonder if he's highly recruited by this staff without the other two. Quote Link to comment
