CB Priest Willis [UCLA Commit]

[NoLongerN]

I give us a 25% chance of landing this guy. I see him giving us some face time and choosing U$C or L$U.

 

[WAHusker]

I think your being generous, Mark! Id give us about 10%, unless we win some huge games this year (which i dont see happening).

 

[NoLongerN]

I agree WAHusker, but that's my percentage at this time. The longer it goes on the less chance we have. In the end the big fish will swallow him up ... and our percentage.

 

[huskersfan7]

I don't get why you think the longer it goes on the worse it is for us. it's the complete opposite. the longer he drags it out, it's more likely USC and LSU will fill up. besides, he hasn't even visited Nebraska yet.

Aside from getting him here to visit first ... I don't see many recruits in the Top 150 who wait till the last minute or NSD who then go on TV and pick up a hat with a :bigredn: on it. That type of player usually goes to U$C, UCLA, L$U or Bama. In this case he grew up a a U$C fan as well. We are more of a "blue collar" type of team where a recruit who has to prove himself comes. We seem to sift for possible gems and make them into better players. We get a few of them, yes, hope he is one of them.

I might be wrong but that's my view.

 

[huskersfan7]

fwiw, he stated he grew up a husker fan. and i know we've never seen someone pick a husker hat on NSD or at an all star game, but that doesn't mean it'll never happen. im not saying he's a :bigredn: lock by any means, im just saying there's more interest than most think and if you get him down here for a visit anything can happen

 

[Brouhaha]

Well, Priest said he is releasing his Top 10 once the opening is done with. So, although we're obviously in the top ten, be awaiting that today. :ahhhhhhhh

 

[SECHusker]

Like many top 100 recruits, Willis has a lot on his mind this time of year. There are dozens of college coaches running up his phone bill and stalking him on social media, there's the pressure to perform in his senior year, there's high school drama and homework and girls and all kinds of things 17-year-olds deal with.http://ucla.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1386044

Priest Willis narrows to top 15. Nebraska will get a visit.

http://insider.espn....ost%3fid%3d6917

he's visiting on a huge game that will most likely determine who will be going to the B1G CCG.

 

[Blackshirts007]

Its pretty crazy he has Marvin Sanders in his ear at USC, Corey Raymond at LSU, and Ron here in NE. All husker connections.

 

[CMT1525]

I think its worth noting he will be attending two Michigan games. Nebraska vs Michigan and Notre Dame vs Michigan for his officials.

 

[ccm420]

this guy is large for a CB.......i think we get him.

 

[HuskerJax]

I think its worth noting he will be attending two Michigan games. Nebraska vs Michigan and Notre Dame vs Michigan for his officials.

But neither game is in the big house. I think they play at ND this year. Hopefully this means we wont lose this one to michigan and that he is visiting the home teams. I live in michigan, we cant lose any more recruits to them, im tired of hearing about it.

 

[HuskerFowler]

USC said they are taking one more DB and they are done with their class. Guess who they want. Means no Mathis thou.
