This kid just named his top 5 tonight... We are in it. It is rumored his top 3 are Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa. He visited our campus during January for Junior day. He gave his visit here a 10 at that time.
There are 3 top talent OT's within 500 miles of NU that we have offered and are after and very much in it with:
(1) Braden Smith (offers: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Kansas St, Michigan, Mizzou, Notre Dame, Ohio St, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Stanford, TCU, Texas, Texas a&m, Virginia)
(2) Dontavius Blair (JUCO, offers: Arizona St, Arkansas, Florida St, Georgia, Kansas, Kansas St, La Lafayette, Mississippi, Ohio St, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, South Florida, Tennessee, USC, West Virginia)
(3) Brian Wallace (offers: Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio St, Missouri, etc)
Not to mention we also are going hard after and still very much in it with:
Frank Ragnow (MN) (offers: Arkansas, Cal, Florida St, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Pitt, South Florida, Vanderbilt)
Nick Gates (NV) (offers: Alabama, Arizona, Arizona St, Baylor, Cal, Colorado, Colorado St, Duke, New Mexico St, Oregon St, San Diego St, UNLV, Washington, Washington St)
We just need 2 of these 5 guys and could take as many as three if 3 wanted to come on. We have a very good shot at landing Wallace and Ragnow. Gates is on campus for BRW so we have a good shot at him after this weekend. Blair I think we lose to the SEC. Smith will be a tough tough battle with the competition for him.
