ScottyIce Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 So, I feel like some of us need some better bearings to help us get over the feeling of the burns in crootin. Perhaps a legit list of reasons why it's okay for Nebraska to not get chosen. Therefore, we have a little checklist to look back at to see if we can have angst or feel burned after a recruit chooses another school. Here is my list. Schools with Academic Prestige: Stanford Northwestern Notre Dame UCLA Current Major Programs or Historically Prestigius Ones: Bama USC Clemson Ohio State Michigan Location (as long as they were up front about it): Legacy Status: Any family member previously playing for the team. Former Teammate/family friend of member on Coaching Staff: Incredibly strong bonds between a coach on staff and a recruits parent can be hard to overcome and it's fair to chalk it up as a legit reason to choose a school. Legitimate Consideration for Early PT. Reasons I Find Invalid to choose a School: Girlfriend. Parents Choice. Finally, in no situation is it ever okay for a commit to choose Oregon State over Nebraska. More to add later... Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Even as a Nebraska fan i would have a hard time telling someone not to go to Stanford Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Agree with all these Matty - would add the Ivy's to the academic column ... not at all in the same league as us w/FB, but certainly an accomplishment to even get in and for someone who is academically motivated they might make that choice. Also - military schools. West Point/Air Force etc - again, prestige and typically some familial or patriotic duty. Quote Link to comment

Husker_luver Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Reason 1: You're dumb Take those feelings and just hold them inside. Until they burst out years from now in a fit of uncontrollable rage. Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 So Matty did you keep the +1 bet with Mav? I believe your last part of the post is a shot at Darnay and it is unwarranted. Just cause you thought he was N for certain, doesn't mean he would commit. If he did you would be annoying the heck out of everybody about it cause you were right-something I would not mind. We got a while until signing day so I will wait for total judgment on this class until that time. Quote Link to comment

His reasons were acceptable in my opinion (if that matters). I will take shots at JC though ICYMI. Quote Link to comment

ScottyIce Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Lol no, because he chose OSU! Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Talking about Darnay. As many said his gf and parents were going to play a large role in his recruitment and it did Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 So, I feel like some of us need some better bearings to help us get over the feeling of the burns in crootin. You better get use to this, it's been this way for quite awhile now. Trick is, don't get so emotionally invested in it. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 But I'm really not talking about him. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Any high school kid is allowed to go anywhere based on whatever reasons they choose. It's none of our business unless A) they're someone we know personally and have a vested relationship with or B) they happen to choose Nebraska, and we're fortunate to be a fan of theirs for a few years. 1 Quote Link to comment
