C N Red Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Around Thursday everything kind of switched from Nebraska to Oregon State, Calvin said. Everything just kind of hit me at the time and feels like the better decision and best place for me. Ranked by 247Sports as the nations No. 31 receiver and No. 223 recruit overall, the 5-foot-9, 150-pound Calvin becomes commit No. 19 in the Beavers class. It was just an overall thing, Calvin said of the decision. Just everything put together, environment, coaches, getting to play with my best friend (teammate and Oregon State commit Arex Flemings), everything kind of came together. Calvin took his official visit to Corvallis in October. His other finalists also received an official. Oregon States tradition of what they use with smaller receivers, and Coach (Gary) Andersen is a great coach and hes building up the program, so the rise Oregon State is on also. 247 This is funny b/c the tradition they have with smaller WRs was when Riley was there. 2 Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Is there a chance that Gary Anderson is just a better recruiter and can sell OSU better than Riley ever could? Oh that's definitely possible, but that's not why he chose OSU over Nebraska today. Quote Link to comment

Atbone95 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Okay so like Marquel Dismuke and Lamar Jackson? Grim, Alston, Stanton. Nebraska focused heavily on California this year and ignored the 500 radius which Riley said he wanted to own. Evidence? Uhhh yeah a list of our commits How is that evidence we ignored the 500 mile radius? How about a list of offers? How about the number of trips we took to those potential recruits' houses? How about the number of good players there are in the 500 mile radius this year? I don't have this information, but I know people like to exaggerate. The lack of commits may be simply that those players chose different schools. Okay, so then I'll flip your argument on it's head - where's the evidence we're only focusing on California?

ScottyIce Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 OSU has a hell of a WRs coach, remember. He was top priority for many Husker fans among Beavers assistants when Riley was hired, and chose to stay. Tough miss, regardless. Yeah. He left though. Quote Link to comment

Nebraska focused heavily on California this year and ignored the 500 radius which Riley said he wanted to own.This isn't what you originally posted about. You said California kids use Nebraska as a placeholder. my original point was the 500 miles radius was being ignored as shown by my agreement in the prior post. and you haven't provided evidence of that. I agree, just opinion and no proof! Bradley, NE Allen, NE Mcquitty, MO Only commits in 500 miles. Zero Colorado, zero iowa, zero Minnesota etc for this recruiting cycle. It all seems to trend to CA. Therefore I guess I generalized the 500 being ignored. Not many of the 500 choosing between us and another school this year. Quote Link to comment

Just because we only have 3 does not mean we ignored the area. Quote Link to comment
