Huskinator Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 No! We have the "academic issue weak" dt in masery. Remember we made a huge mistake taking the strong instate talent. Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 So now that Watts may not make it to campus, shouldn't we be finding his replacement? How many years do Mick and Peyton have left? Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 It was crazy how high of a percentage of the DTs we were recruiting in the 2017 cycle were academic risks. As in, maybe 75% of them. So it would be plausible that we tried to stay away from another academic risk, especially when we may already have one committed. Quote Link to comment
