    Don't usually go against nustudent, but heard from someone who knows we have a JUCO DT committed. He won't share the name as the kid wants to make a formal announcement, but he has given his commitment to the staff. Sorry I don't have more.

    Any hints on when this young man plans to make it known?

    Steely keeps using the word Saturday. Lets wait until Sunday and check back in.

    Excited about somethings and very sad on others right now. We need to fill needs. The guys we look strong on are not guys of need. Ill take them though.

    By the end of next week, is what I'm told, but could be sooner. I have thought about it, and I still can't even make an educated guess as to who it is.

    Dang... I can't imagine who it would be, they all seem so far off to me. I doubt it's Hooks (though I would love it to be) or Johnson (again... though I would love it to be). Hard to see Russell pulling that trigger so soon and Peko seems to be Michigan State's to lose. This will be interesting.

    On the bright side Sandland will be announcing in 12 days

    So here are the biggest names we are in on right now. What are our chances at landing these guys:

    Toby JohnsonLavon HooksPriest WillisBeau SandlandTerrell NewbyElijah QuallsDavid KnevelNa'Ty RodgersDomerea StringfellowQuincy RussellDashon HuntKyle Peko

    I would adjust your list just a little, based on TOS tunnel talk and the kids we are really on according to that. Balance that list verus this site and I think this may be more of who we are really on and have the highest chances
    to get. Big Red Phoenix claims we have one of the juco DTs as a silent, hope it is either Hooks or Russel?

    Johnson- sounds like the knee and academics, forget him
    Newby- Chances are excellent
    Hooks- Chances are good, BP needs his best salesmanship
    Russel- Chances are good, he can play next year
    Willis- looking very good
    Knevel- i think he is N & soon
    Walker- Chances are excellent
    Sandland- Chances are excellent, bringing his Mom to Lincoln right before signing day
    Cochran- Looks better
    Collins- Looks really good
    Sayles- He will be N, I think we take him
    Bond- Look really good, he can play right away, pass rusher
    Rodgers- Looks good
    Lacy- 50/50, would be a big win

    We won't get them all of course, we do have some good momentum. Great list of athletes, highly sought out, lots of stars behind a lot of them.

  • If we can put a good ole Husker beating on Georgia our chances are two fold but if we give up another 70 none will be here.

    Just saying

    If you cant say something nice, shut your damn mouth!! GBR

  • Perhaps the silent JUCO DT isn't on our radar. Wouldn't surprise me after the Miles commitment.

    I think there is a good chance that they don't get any of these guys.

    Toby - 50 - 50 between Us and Georgia. Maybe a hint of a chance he looks at KSU because of their track record for JuCos

    Lavon Hooks - Its between Us and Ole Miss. I give us a 25% chance. I can't gauge this guy at all

    Priest - He fits Nebraska so well. That doesn't mean much to me though. Nebraska / LSU / UCLA 30 % and ND at 10% , i think FSU is out of this one.

    Beau - I'd say 60% chance. We've put in the time, and Bo has shown him our desire to have him wearing the N. Miami scares me, being TE U. ASU has a fun offense, so that counts for something but he doesn't seem like a party animal. That helps us too. Also, Johnny Stanton helps here too.

    Newby - I think he's ours. I'm going 90%

    Qualls - Unknown, i like that he is giving us a shot. Show him the depth chart. Show him Suh. Show him he's the missing piece.

    Knevel. I think its 50 - 50 between Us and Bama. Hopefully building the relationship earlier than Bama helps our case here. We need this guy

    NaTy - No idea. We'll see. Love his frame.

    Stingfellow - doubtful, valiant effort by the staff.

    Russell - I think we are losing to OU. I'd say we have 40% chance

    Hunt - He likes us. It depends how he reacts to now being at the top of our board. Will he get insulted by being forced to play the waiting game? We'll see. Cook and Priest will decide this guys future here

    Peko - Have i missed something here. Utah? I thought it was Us and MSU. Someone fill me in please

    Cochran - I think we have a good shot here. I'll put it at 50%. He likes education and respects our academic all american. His dad is a pastor and just met Ron Brown. Thats gotta help.

    We Lost every 50/50 battle except for Knevel.

    We didn't pull any upsets either.

    I think I handicapped I pretty well now, looking back. Just sucks that we can't close.
