BIG ERN Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Sounds like interest is picking up. Would like to land this guy. Another recruit I feel is vastly underrated at this time and would be nice to get in early Quote Link to comment

Another recruit I feel is vastly underrated at this time and would be nice to get in early I hear ya. But here we go again- if this kid commits we will have all the guys coming out of the wood work. "We will never compete with ohio state if we take low 3 star guys". Then later in the cycle when they get boosted to a .91 kid everyone will say what a great job by Frost spotting this kid.

Has no other visits planned. Is waiting to see what other offers come. All had to say about Neb is basically we have a good fan base. Didn't mention talking to any of the coaches or anything like that. Spoke much more about Illi and what their coaching are telling him. Doesn't sound like we are really in contact or pushing at all. Likely down our board a ways, as he should be. 1 Quote Link to comment

I was told we reached out. Not saying he is anywhere to being on commit watch, but we have interest Quote Link to comment

His article/quotes today sure don't seem like there is anything building. Still much better prospects with serious interest in Neb. Quote Link to comment

Who cares what Frost and Co. think. Quote Link to comment

Who cares what Frost and Co. think. The staff is actively visiting other DE prospects at their schools and bringing them to Lincoln on visits. Attempt to convince yourself whatever you want, but those are facts and what I posted earlier was a summary of direct quotes from Hawthorne. Newsome, Robinson and Townsend are a heckuva group we are seriously in the mix for. Quote Link to comment

I like the athleticism of Townsend and Hawthorne as they are more rush ends at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment

This kid is listed at 220 so I imagine he'd have to put on about 50-60 pounds to play DE in a 3-4. Quote Link to comment
