OK, guys, enough. Both of you need to chill out. Nobody needs to be called a d!(k or an a-hole. Any more of this kind of comment and we're going to have to give people some time to simmer down. It's not worth getting into an argument over this.

 
Honestly... I want leaders, players that aren't frightened of having to lead. One reason I like Stanton as much as I do, he committed early and immediately began leading. Another player that did the same (though not for us) is Springfellow (spelling) the UW receiver commit.

Priest knows whom he's committing to and for him to drag it out leaves me somewhat concerned. Look at the history of the d-backs that gamed here and are now in the NFL. They all have one thing in common, the "didn't pu&&y foot around" and play the "I'm great" and deserve being pampered and catered to card. This BS that Priest and the rest of the 5 star (over hyped) high school prima donna's keep hanging over universities is frustrating.

Here's some advice to Priest... If you are happy pimping yourself out to FSU, UCLA, OREGON and whomever else... fine, do so but drop us so we aren't wasting our efforts and can focus on another. We all know Priest isn't committing to the sker's and even if he does, he's not all in like say Johnny Stanton and several others. Personally, I prefer someone with heart, leadership, determination, team concepts over someone who has talent but lacks the "team" concept. More often then not these players fail.

Wow just wow. Are you serious with that rant? Do yourself a favor and go do a little research on what players have committed to a school at the Army All American Game and see just many have been successful players. You are out of your mind.

 
A lot of assumptions in that post. This kid is making the most important decision of his life. I think he has the right to take his time without being called a primadonna. It would also be extraordinarily stupid for us to drop any kid that doesn't commit to us early. This is how recruiting works. Get used to it.

How do you know that is how Priest is? If you don't know the kid, that's a big overreaction. Some kids just want to enjoy the process, and if he isn't sure where he wants to go to college, that's fine. We are all different people and would handle this situation in our own way if we were in it. There is nothig wrong with how Priest is going about his business, so your comment is not warranted.

 
Not warrented??? Really???

Go back, check the Dennard, Suh and other recruiting threads.... those players committed.... and their entire time here at DONU was commitment....

If Priest wants to spend his days rubbing noses with the pristine programs... let him go. Bo and company can then focus on players that game... and the sker's can mop up him and his other pima donna buddies like TO and staff did in the '90s. People forget the run in the 90s started with a recruiting class ranked "out" of the top 25.

Holy sh#t man, your rants are totally uncalled for. Nothing that this kid has done screams "prima donna." He is just enjoying the process and trying to make the best choice for himself. You can take whatever view you want, but if we used your recruiting philosophy, this program would be in the cellars of college football.

 
My comment is totally warranted...

Anyone who spends a little time actually researching Nebraska's history will learn that our best players (outside of Frazier) committed. They did so because they walked into the program, noticed the emphasis placed on doing things the "Husker" way and new they wanted to play here. (Search the Peter's Brothers comments) Futhermore, this star rating the so called experts give is also speculative and more often then not, wrong.

For those whom want to actually do a little read here's a link on the recruitment through the "Glory" days. 90's recruitment

As for primadonna comments.... prove me wrong, show me where this kids head isn't filled with "your amazing", "your a superstar", "your unstoppable" etc.... Yes, there is a reason the "experts" rate him 5 star but he's yet to step on a college field and compete and the truth is, he's not coming to DONU because he's not committed enough to compete for playing time. Bo and Company don't make false promises and players that hold out are often looking for a promise. What more can be offered from any other university? Nebraska leads the nation in academic all Americans, the defensive staff has a history of pipe lining players to the NFL and the support/training facilities are second to none.

So... yea... my comments of "primadonna" are most definitely warranted.

Come on man. You don't know him personally. So you can't really make a statement like this. I have seen nothing from him that even warrants such a statement.

Hahaha...

 
He's a primadonna because he's checking out multiple schools? Well then if you ever get two job offers and check both thoroughly to see which one fits best for you for the rest of your life it makes you one as well, doesn't it? This is a ridiculous post with borderline rule breaking. You aren't supposed to name call the players or prospects really, for that matter... Believe me, I would know after getting dinged for it. He's a good guy and he took his baby sister with him to his UCLA trip and she loved it over the summer, but even though they seem like the favorite here, he still came. To make sure he was right there, and you know what happened? He loved it here. So now you have a conflicted teenager who has to make a decision based on something that will affect the rest of his life; Pro potential, where you live, etc.. I'd think long and hard about where I go to. (If I weren't such a Nebraska homer that is) I commend him for doing this and making sure we, or any school for that matter, is the school he wants to call his. Stand-up guy IMO.
