Still thinking he signs this week? Or what the hold up is?

 

 

Seems like when things are held up for a juco it means permanently. But hopefully that’s not the case here.

This is going to be really frustrating if he doesn't make it to campus.  He is a kid I'm excited to see play here.

Big day here, need him to sign today.

HS signing period ends today, but Jucos can sign all the way through Jan. 15th!

Jan 7th is last to register for classes, so he has a few days to get everything straight, signed & registered.

I hope he comes through. We need that power back like Ozigbo.

Ya, a lot is made of being a wide-open O but you still need a guy that can bang and get the tough yards

Brief update this morning just said Nebraska is still waiting on him to sign. Not exactly sure what the hold up is at this point. 

 

Even though classes start Jan 7 he has up until Jan 15th to sign and then he could enroll in June similar to Woodyard last year. 

 

Article said Nebraska still expects both Mills and Bland to sign.

It was my understanding he was an EE?

That may have been the original plan and he still has time to get here in January but I’m not very optimistic at this point. 

 

Im just hopeful we can get him here by June.

If he doesn't sign I assume Bivens will be given his spot

It would be nice to bring in a complementary back, especially because we could see more 2 back sets in the future.

 

I'll say this though, about backs getting the tough yards: Washington can and will get much better at this. He's still running like he did in high school...around people. The staff wants backs to make a cut, get upfield, and then elude defenders. Washington will learn that by doing that and setting up angles he'll be even more effective at beating defenders. His late start and some nagging injuries set him back some, but he still had a promising season. A full offseason with the coaching and training staffs and he's going to be a monster next year.
