DE Darius Slade [Ohio State - Signed LOI]

[blarson3]

It's just become funny anymore. Weak class and Slade was one of the few really good commits.

No clue what you're talking about. At all. So I'll do you a favor and tell you to shut up before you embarrass yourself.

You think this a strong class? We've got some decent players but it's a long way from being a big time class. Barely ranks in the top 40. Slade was one of the best commits we had. Nebraska should be doing much better.

You factor in that Harrison (MLB), Clinkscales (grades), and Darlington (brain injury) are all iffy and it looks weak.

Clink has scoffed at the rumors about him not getting to campus because of academics and if Darlington was in trouble of not playing again we would have another QB in this class.

Clink definitely has a chance but he's still iffy. Sounds like the folks at Dodge are working with him which is fortunate for us. I've heard many Jucos say everything is OK academically only for them to not show up when camp starts.

Darlington suffered 3 concussions in the 3 month span. One gave him a stutter and another required him to be airlifted from the field. That's serious stuff and nobody is quite sure how he'll react to the next hit. Nebraska tried to get Gerhart as that 2nd QB fwiw.

Regardless of if they were/are trying to get Gerhart, if there was the possibility that Darlington could not play again I absolutely GUARENTEE we would see a lot more offers going out to QBs right now as we only have two scholarship QBs. I am aware of the seriousness of Darlington's head trauma but the fact that Bo and company aren't going all out for another QB makes me more than comfortable that they expect Darlington to be capable of play after he redshirts next year.

Wow. Defensive End was the place that we could afford to lose a recruit since we are still on the lists of other solid DEs. Clink has scoffed at the rumors about him not getting to campus because of academics and if Darlington was in trouble of not playing again we would have another QB in this class. I am excited about this class and I am excited to see how it fills out. What is with all of the downer Huskers fans these days. Not saying Slade wasn't an exciting recruit, because he is, but I would have ranked him 4th out of our D-line commits (most scouting sites would agree).

Slade had the most upside in this class. A lot of experts said he had Gregory like talent. This is a huge loss and saying he was our 4th best D-line commit is absurd IMO. Hope we can close strong because we need it!!

I can consider 3rd best with clink, keels, slade, then newell only because we have not really been able to see Newell on the line (I just love his build). I do not think you can call it absurd since the scouting sites even have him ranked 4th in comparison to our line. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. On Slade not on hoping we close the class strong!

We just need to get to a point where we can walk up to whoever & give them an offer & they reconsider their current situation. This year it seems like we are doing the leg work for other programs finding these guys who are off the radar & getting them to commit & then Urban Fkng Meyer strolls in & says I want you now. & buh bye. Thanks for the hard work Bo, he's mine now. Same with Texass & Baylor & ASU & OU. It's almost starting to feel like we are the Chicago Cubs of college football in recruiting. We find good players & then the marquee programs roll in & take them. With that being said, I think we have a pretty darn good class. Who really knows? Wont know for a couple years. Good luck Slade. Ps, I will never watch "I'm Gonna Git you Sucka" again!

Hmmm, kind of an odd interview

Doesnt sound like he ever wanted to be here so thats fine. Gonna be tough to pull in 2 d ends at this point. I wonder if they can convince freedom to move over to DE. He seems to have the size and athleticism to do it. Might be able to play right away.

 

[Ratt Mhule]

He already committed to OSU?

No. But seems likely he will end up there.

"Pressured in to the situation?"

Dude, has a problem with trying to be a people pleaser.. decommits multiple times... He has a hard time saying no it sounds like and also easy to change his mind.. Urban put on his best used cars salesman face and all of a sudden now he hates nebraska?

Good luck to the kid, but he needs to make better choices or he will end up at 7 schools.

There goes the theory that Bo can't hard sell...and close

This class still has plenty enough pieces to win 8 games in each of the next Forever years.

This one stings, but at least it's now and not on or closer to signing day. Got to hit these late DE visits hard.
