we will find out tomorrow. CU told him exactly what he wanted to hear, playing WR.

yeah but ricky said he thinks he has a better shot to make the NFL on the def. side of the ball.

and ricky also has said that if we would have told him we would play him at WR he would have committed to us months ago. FWIW. kids are kids and dont always make the logical choice.

 
Rt makes his choice tomorrow. I think that there are a couple things to remember.

If his choice is CU or Fresno st. it will not be the end of the world. It would be good to have him. If it is not in his heart to be a Husker, then we are better off without him and him without us.

I hope he makes us his choice. From where he comes from I think Lincoln would be exactly the place for him. My thoughts don't count though. Its his choice , and weather it is us or someone else we will still have a great future as Husker fans.

Our team is on the right track. If RT is on that train with us or not is his choice.

:yeah

i dont know about everyone else but I want players on the team that want to be Huskers. If they dont want to be there then the chemistry of the team will be hurt. I will take a team of athletes that have chemistry over a team of great athletes with no chemistry any day.

 
But guys, why would he pick NU if he didn't want to be a Husker?

If he wants to be a Husker, he'll pick us. If not, he'll pick someone else.

Right?

 
how many athletes have come to NU, only to transfer later? did those players want to be Huskers and were willing to put the team first before themselves?

What about Scott Frost he wanted to be a Husker but went to Stanford to play for Bill Walsh, then decided where he needed to be.

 
I think Jf showed us that until Feb. 1 nothing is etched in stone. RT might have had us as his first choice and changed his mind. I just hope that this doesn't turn out to be another JF scenario.( which was like getting kicked you know where with a golf shoe.) There is no text message. No Ron Freeman. Its just Rt and his choice.

Good luck to him no matter where he goes us or someone else. BTW I dont have a clue where he goes. Just trying to be prepared for whatever.

If Ricky is thick enough to fall for CU's BS then they can have him. If he's smart enough to see through it, then welcome to Nebraska/Fresno/wherever.

or this kid, who committed to bsu:

not to defend CU but this ONE player is probably understandable considering Hawkins was probably a big reason he committed to BSU in the first place. Not defending it, just saying its not on the same level of the other commited players they're going after.

to rehash back to that "color" issue. Its beneath the Husker coaches to bring anything like this up but maybe the CU coaches should let RT in on another kind of "color" issue at CU/Boulder.

-CU=lowest % of Af.American students in the Big 12. (which somehow still surprises me)

--I believe one of the football players used this as an excuse to transfer last year..?

-there was a story a while back about an Af.American student who hurt in a racially motivated beating in Boulder.

-recently of course one of the football players sent racial emails to a hispanic athlete.

-Af.American CU student government leaders have also received threatening racial emails.

-did i miss anything? as if that's not enough.

All this is probably childs play compared to RT's neighborhood but it'd be interesting if this would have any affect on Ricky's view of CU if he knew of it.

BTW, not really shocked if Hagen brought out the gang-color issue. I recall an Outside the Lines several years ago that said something about Hagen partly choosing CU for that same reason. so i guess that might make him some kind of expert on it.

I was going to add a remark about him not growing up in the best of neighborhoods. Well, Boulder isn't the best of nieghborhoods for an African American to be. Those examples you cited are the proof to that.

 
People are freaking out over nothing. Let things run their course ;)

I agree. If it's not meant to be, so be it. I think that this class is solid with or without him. I hope he picks the Huskers because he wants to be here, but this kid still needs to qualify before he can go anywhere!

 
hello, do not sweat over this one too much, because he will be officially N tonight...I believe that this was all just a little stunt to garner some pub for himself, & honor his original statement that he would not announce until late in jan - therefore, the real sweating should only occur by him when & while he tries to qualify academically to NU - so, stop screwing around & do your homework, thenarse!

 
If hes still not sure he really wants to be a Husker its better to find out now before he commits and then figures he made a mistake. If he comes great if he doesn't we still have a good class coming in and we will just go on without him. We are a lot closer to being back at the top of the Big 12 and will get a lot more prime time exposer than he will get playing at Col. If he wants to make a name for himself he knows Neb is the right choice. Do we need him yes, can we do without him yes. Some one else will step up, they always do.

GBR!!!
