So you're saying there's a chance

I would put this as more of a surprise at this poing as I was now counting on landing JJB

Out of everybody left that hasn't either signed or committed to Nebraska, this is the guy I most want to get.

Looks like OSU has 9/3 players at lb, we have 7/0. Unless OSU has a better selling point on early playing time,  I think we have just as good a shot as OSU....

GBR!!!

Wisconsin really wants another linebacker/rusher.

I see that OSU is getting some prediction to land Chris Oats an OLB who is a similar build as Baptists.  They surely don't have room for 2 do they?

They will force guys out of schollies if need be. Thats just the way its starting to be. I think we may have to start doing at least a little of this if we want to be a title contender again. If you dont contribute you may not get that scholly renewed.

They can’t do that anymore to the same extent. B1G has gone to guaranteed 4 year scholarships.

That's news I hadn't heard. Unfortunate news.

I agree with @C N Red . Nebraska needs to be more cutthroat in this regard. It's a common characteristic in elite programs.

OSU still front runner but we made up ground. Unlikely makes it past this weekend, but we are a strong 2nd.

We are the “family” type of feel.

Anybody know if we have an in-home visit scheduled for next week?  It seems like the way to play this would be to see where he stands next week after his OSU official visit and if he isn't N then we move on.  I still don't know if he is an automatic take for OSU as they seem to have quite a few recruits higher on their board for an extremely limited number of spots.
