Officially ND

 

Damn Catholics!  :-)

Unfortunate but at least there is another in state wide out in this class who just happens to be the better of the two and we have him locked down. You always want to land these guys, but I think WR is the least important position to get an in state kid at with this staff/offense. We will find other playmakers.

Notre Dame is one of the few schools where I don’t feel as bad about an in state player leaving. The others are the ones that are elite as far as education like Stanford or Harvard. If a Nebraska kid chooses Harvard I’m never gonna wonder why.

 

And with Notre Dame we just need to make Rudy and Catholicism illegal in the state so kids don’t grow up wanting to play there 

At least he is not going to a Big 10 school, also good thing we have multiple good other options in this class.

Frost has been getting wins in-state in many situations where Nebraska was far behind. The early success of this staff lessens the sting of this loss. Good luck to the guy. Time to move on.

Good luck to him.

Now to find 3-4 solid receivers that want to be here.

Agree with this.  We have offers to some other good WR's.  Would have liked to have him but let's find the kids that want to be .  

[The Dude]

Gross.

[runningblind]

Ahhhh, we didn't want him anyway,  he won't be that good, Mr 2 star over here will be waaaaay better at NU.  That cover it?

 

Seriously  -> he will be a good one.  Oh well. Here's hoping we get em in the playoff/a bowl before he's done there.  Onward and upward.

I would prefer Ajou Ajou over one of the JUCO guys. And can we really count Betts?

I was reading the thread quickly, but I don't think anyone was saying those things.

 

It would have been nice for him to be in, but he obviously didn't like Nebraska. The staff tried and lost out. I'm sure they have plans, and those plans may or may not still include going after this kid.

[Huskers93-97]

I am actually kind of indifferent with him. If he committed I would have been glad to have him but at the same time committing somewhere else I don’t feel like it’s a big loss. I think plenty of receivers out there as good or better.

Never said anyone was,  that is always what comes up on other teams boards when we get a commit.  I was just being sarcastic with the first half of that post,  hence the seriously tag.  

 

It's hard to be sarcastic on the interwebs, and that's all I speak haha.

[swmohusker]

We will be fine.  Just stings to lose an instate skill kid when he could be a part of a special offense.  

 

Wish we could schedule a game at south bend so he could experience a busker home game.
