Sounds like a pretty good athlete...and if he's mean enough to be recruited to play safety in the SEC, he would do just fine at Nebraska.

There's an article up some where in which Smith says he spoke with Bo earlier this week. When asked about taking visits he said "probably Nebraska" as well as 'Bama and LSU. Other than that he doesn't know.

IF he has any speed, i sure like his height.

Well if the 4.65 is electronic then he has speed too. If that is hand held, then he needs to add weight and consider a position other than safety.

Article on Arkansas recruiting mentions Smith "has narrowed his list down to Nebraska, LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Florida, and Tulane".

This same article mentions status of recruit Khiry Cooper.

Sounds like a perfect guy to redshirt and get into the strength and conditioning program. If he can add some speed and/or weight he could be a pretty good player.

P.J. Smith is scheduled to visit Nebraska on the 18th. He also has Nebraska and Arkansas as his 2 leaders.

He could be a great SS with that size and room to grow!! Bigtime hitter also.

**Update***

1-17-08 Coach John Papuchis was in PJ's living room last night paying him a in home visit. Without getting into all the details, let's just say the interview went very well.

If it is essentially Nebraska and 4 other SEC schools recruiting him, this kid has to be a stud. Hopefully he pulls the trigger!

On Rivals it says The Clear Leader? Are we the clear leader? :dunno

NU is his #1 and rated the visit as a 10. He visited Baylor last weekend, NU this weekend, and will visit Arkansas next weekend

He is NU's to lose

 

[huskerguy]

It's down to us and Arkansas, who he will be visiting next weekend.

Nebraska is pretty far ahead and unless something really special happens at Arkansas, he will be N. He will make a decision soon after his visit to Arkansas.
