Bid Red Report:

Assessing the talent: Short in stature but big on heart. Looks like Fabian W., and will come up and stick someone in run support.

"the kid is supposed to have close to nil body fat and is mostly athletic muscle, so ive been told. Also been told he has great hips and can change directions fluidly, this is coming from my buddy in fort worth who says he has seen his team play, FWIW. anybody else with a rivals subscription can fill you in on the rest,

 

edit: im not tryin to say my friend is the ultimate judge in talent, hes just an IT guy for a small business, but at least he's a football fan, and he if he claims he has seen this recruit's hs team, i believe him. " - pigsonthewing

Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 80% Ted Gilmore did a wonderful job with Blue in the recruiting. Now we must hold on to him.

“It’s just the academic support, the graduation rate, and they get all of their players taken care of with school first and then athletics are second. My dad really liked that.”

His 40 has been timed at 4.47 also...so I wouldn't worry about his speed being an issue. It will only get better anyway.

our coaching staff's forays into Texas is finally starting to pay dividends. I think we have oral committments from Texas this year than we have in a long time.

edit: just got off the phone with my friend kevin, he says Blue's team played in 5-A, and that they have several d-1 prospects, with 2 already going to Baylor. He said he will try to give me updates, i told him to join the website so he could give updates himself

I read in the paper that his time in the 200 meters would tie the existing Nebraska state record! Sounds like a burner.

actually Blue would own the state record. Blue=21.4, state record=21.53

Then the world herald was wrong! I bet this kid ends up playing corner. Especially with what you say about his lateral quickness. According to the article, he is going to be matching up each week against the opponents' best receiver. Another great CB in the making.
