S Noa Pola-Gates [Nebraska - Signed LOI]

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Heard he was a silent commit with Bama for a while, but they would not let him commit publically. You can see their safety class has higher rated players, so I think that is why it shook out the way it did.

My guess is he signed with Nebraska silently and will announce it at the Poly Bowl. If his recruitment is quite from now until then, that would be evidence this is true.

Well, this turned out to be spot on.

USC fans are upset but understand Noa's decision.  The fans absolutely hate Helton and blame him for their recruiting woes.

ASU fans are all sorts of pissed.  They just can't fathom how Noa could pick NU over them.  

Both fan bases do think we will get Pola-Moa now.  USC isn't as pissed about it as ASU is.  





 

I didnt realize that the top 20 recruits in AZ are all leaving the state!  That is crazy

It shows on 247 he signed LOI 

The rumor-mill had it right. Thought it was funny that Callahan was cryptic when asked about it and would just say he was as committed as ever to his prediction of NPG being N.

Herm must not be that good of a recruiter. I wonder why. He seems to have an upbeat personality.

That was one of the complaints on an ASU board.  

I went back the last 5 years and looked to see how many of the top 20 players stayed and played in-state at either ASU or Zona.

2019 - 0

2018 - 3

2017 - 9

2016 - 4

2015 - 6

What is also surprising is that the home school teams have only landed the #1 player in the state twice in the last 10 years.  ASU in 2016 and Zona in 2010.

Callahan must be watching at a nuclear reactor site.

I'm from az and this pretty much happens every year. Asu and u of a are horrible at keeping instate talent to stay home.

saw this ditty on a Sun Devils forum.

Nebraska is a shadow of it's former self, and been on a constant slide for 20 years. Not even competitive in the weak B1G. Imagine if we could play Purdue, Minnesota, Illinois, Maryland, Rutgers and Indiana every year + two warm up games? Ohio State is the only real power in the entire conference. The gap down is huge.

ASU would win 10 games per year in the B1G. ASU at least has upwards momentum the last 5 years + PT.

Did you let them know that the Pac 12 is a worse conference than the AAC?

No

I didn't post. It is fun to see the disappointment of other teams' fans though, so I had to read their Noa Pola-Gates topic.

Hope he comes here.  I can’t wait to see what a good weight training and work our regiment would do to him. He could be a beast in a few years.

Hope he comes here.

:blink:

He's signed...

Well his is awkward.  I thought I was in pola-mao.  I feel dumb
