FYI - I asked Willie Sykes via text if he was considering Arkansas. He texted back "Na." #huskers #whateverbielemahashtagsthesedays

No way...what the heck. This does hurt.

See yah.

The story was Arky had been making a push.

Did he actually flip his commitment?

Yes.

Would have been good to have him but if we had to loose anyone, it would be him, imo. I wasn't that high on him anyway and I really didn't think we had that big of a need for another DB.

Ya. bummer to lose anyone but if he is willing to flip that easily, not sure if I want anyone who flips to a school without visiting it... Doesnt make sense.

Maybe he was upset that he was our backup plan to begin with, but this is the recruiting business and these things tend to happen.

Also, he didn't have a long-term relationship with our staff, so the key for the 2016 season is to create the relationship early, and cultivate them throughout the season. I think it would be harder for a recruit to say no in that situation, though I realize Paulo did that with Cav.

Whatever best of luck blah blah blah

I was wondering today who would be the first kid to uncommit before tomorrow.

Actually the staff had been recruiting him since they were with Oregon st
