SIGNED: OT Brandon Thompson

[chuckd]

I think we would take both. I would not be a bit surprised to see Baker moved to DT, or at least given a shot at it. He is a physical freak and DT is one of our biggest needs. We have good young players on the OL already on campus (Smith, Jones, Williams, Burkes, M. Jones, Hickman, etc) as well as a couple very good ones this year (Givens, Hoch) it wouldn't completely surprise me if we took both Thompson and Robinson.

You simply don't pass up on a talent like Trevor.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Trevor needs to make up his mind or we need to start looking for others. Brandon is definately a start.

 

[husker rob]

If this guy commits, will NU still accept a commit from Trevor Robinson, cuz i really want TR

all of the "Experts" have said that if Brandon commits and then TR wants to come to NU later on, they will make room for him.

I think that the might even move Baker over to the defensive side of the ball, because he is so dominant there also

 

[BigWillie]

Brandon also projects at DT himself.

Just like it is good to have those skill position players who project everywhere, it is good to have lineman who project on both sides as well. It gives you so many options.

 

[BigRedfxtoy]

Personally... I don't really care where TR is from. He either wants to be N or not. I hope he makes his mind up and sticks to it. At this point (unless he commits to Neb) I don't really care where he goes. All I want to hear is he commited to Neb or see ya bye.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

FYI, Brandon loved the visit. Rated it at least a 9 if not a 10. Said that he is going to take an unofficial to Purdue this weekend and then make his decision.

I think that the decision is already made and he just wants to take a look at Purdue to say that he checked out another school. He will commit to NU by wednesday of next week (IMO)

Sounds like he already made his decison IMO. I hope he is N so we can add him to the championship drive. :thumbs

 

[HuskerKing130]

He's taking his visit with Purdue today. I bet he'll be N before the OSU game.

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Let's hope so. I think we will know something on Monday or so.......... :woo

 

[BigWillie]

Committed.

#24 is N!

Surprised this isn't up yet.

Welcome, Brandon!

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Had a feeling it was either going to be yesterday or today. Welcome Brandon! :woo :woo :woo

 

[melscott62]

awesome!! we needed some good news

 

[Washusker]

Meh. If this means we miss out on Trevor Robinson, I'm not excited.

Meh. If this means we miss out on Trevor Robinson, I'm not excited.

I would much rather have a player that wants to play at Nebraska period. Who knows what TR wants, hell does he? If he wants to come to Nebraska I'm sure there is room for him. Again I think we need kids that want to play here.

I don't get this reasoning. Is TR really going to go to Nebraska if he doesn't want to go? Just because he, or any other recruit, even considers other schools doesn't mean that they won't be thrilled to be Huskers should they choose to come here. Nor does it mean he's not going to play hard when he's a Husker or be any less of a player because he considered other schools.

I don't buy it. I'll take TR over any senior in high school who has dreamed his whole life of becoming a Husker (except for Baker Steinkuhler, of course).
