WR Desmond Fitzpatrick [Louisville - Signed LOI]

[RedRedJarvisRedwine]

 

 

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?

Between being a silent commit this late in the game, and then to make that douche video....Good day to you sir

 

Bring on Simmons

My question is what kind of father is his dad? Pathetic

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.

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.

Why?

[Minnesota_husker]

Bummer that we lost him. I wish him nothing but the best moving forward.

[SouthLincoln Husker]

Coaches can still make calls to recruits, maybe they have a plan B.

[onlyHskrfaninIL]

Moving on. And who knows, he might change his mind again by Wednesday.

Exactly!

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.

Ummm....

Dez, about that video...

[StPaulHusker]

I wonder if he knew about this before releasing the video.

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.
