Assessing the talent: Home-run threat whenever he touches the ball. Finished his junior year with 1,628 yards rushing and 20 touchdowns on 182 carries.


Odds of becoming a Cornhusker: 35% Seems to be really interested in Nebraska. Narrowed his list to 4 schools listed above. Nebraska gets the last visit against VT.

Its starting to look real good for us.

Yes they are:

Oku cuts OU and others from list

MIDWEST CITY — Carl Albert running back David Oku has cut several teams, including Oklahoma, from the list of schools he is considering. The junior lists USC, Ohio State, Florida State, Illinois, Tennessee and Michigan as his favorites. West Virginia, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and LSU were among the teams cut from the list.

FYI recent rivals article has him dropping USC (lack of playing time) and adding Nebraska.

Really wants to go out of state and grew up an FSU fan.

 
David Oku named his top 5

Illinois, Florida St., Michigan, Tennessee, and Nebraska. Right now Florida St. seems to be his leader since he has said in some interviews that he has followed them since he was a kid.

yeah, but i'd think if beck does a great job coaching the running backs this year we might get a better shot. because honestly i don't see why we are in his top unless the kool aid is amazing.

Judging from why he took USC off his list it appears he doesn't want to get lost in the shuffle. Here he'd certainly be the top back for this class and he'd be in good position to takeover when Castille and Helu are done. Plus we are looking to be a physical team and Watson has a history of pounding the rock. I'd say we have a fair amount to offer a rb.

But we have MAJOR competition for this kid, a lot of very big dogs, it'll be an uphill battle to get him.

 
I agree with the points made above. It should be noted that we are making good connections so far this year in Oklahoma. Several players who have expressed more than just passing interest in us are Okie boys.

 
NU is in David's remaining top five along with Michigan, Tennessee, Illinois, and Flordia St

edit- that seems to be old news, so I will mention he is the number one All Purpose back at Rivals, so I don't look stupid. ;)
