Too much smoke to not be a fire. Fitzpatrick is (in my eyes, at least) clearly committed to playing here (though not publicly) and is doing everything he can to get his friends to come with him.

To suddenly jump in on a prospect like this because of talks they have had together, and then for Tony to mention playing with Fitzpatrick and Reese - means that Fitzpatrick has talked with him at length about that possibility.

I agree. It seems like Fitzpatrick is basically committed without actually being committed.

It will be interesting to see which player commits first and when. Then, how the rest of the commits will fall.

Nebraska lean. May visit Arizona State but hasn't set up a date yet. If he doesn't visit, it'll be us.

We may start him off at Nickel while learning Safety for down the road.

 

[Huskinator]

Not Arizona state. Noooooooooo

Yes

The trio is pretty set on playing together now, whether it be Nebraska or else where. Nebraska is the leader for Bulter/Dez. We are right there with Reese and Dez is pushing hard.

That would be an awesome trifecta for sure.

DECEMBER 16 2015. ALL TEAMS MESSAGE BOARDS TONY BUTLER, 6-2, 200, SAF, LAKEWOOD (ST. EDWARD), OHIO

Butler visited Nebraska over the weekend and sounds like that's the place for him.

"It went well. I liked the campus really interesting place as well. The coaching staff is awesome. It's definitely a good system - I feel."

Living in Ohio, grew up in the Big Ten surrounds, is a big plus for Nebraska.

"I'm from Ohio, so the Big Ten is pretty good. Personally I'm in the Big Ten. It doesn't matter what conference for me there is going to be tradition at every school and Nebraska is definitely big. So, I would bring back championships and bring back the culture." Butler said

NU defensive back coach sees Butler as a top player.

"I know Brian (Stewart) pretty well. He's definitely a great guy, the coaching staff and everything. I definitely can grow as a player at Nebraska." Butler said

"I can play both (safety) positions. That was the big thing he (Stewart) was looking for. He said I could cover, he said I was one of those top priorities right now. So that was pretty neat. He said I have chance to play in the NFL." Butler said

Butler said he had a chance to talk to Head Coach Mike Riley. Thought he was a good coach. They had a good talk and he liked him a lot.

Education.

"No matter where I go I'm going to get my degree. That's definitely a plus. Definitely the higher the academics standards on my resume after football the better. Most schools have great tradition. A school like Nebraska is definitely good. After school I definitely have something to fall back on." Baker said

"They (Nebraska) are high in my list." He said.

Are they top on your list?

"Yes!"

 

[Husker-Joe]

We need to close the deal on this one. He has to be near the top of our want/need list.

Looks like his main recruiter at ASU is headed to Memphis.
