WR Allen Lazard [Iowa State Commit]

I think we have a VERY good shot at this kid for several reasons.

#1 He wants to play close to home.

He wants to stay close to home. I'd think our biggest potential threats within 6 hrs of his home would be Iowa, Mizzouri and Wisconsin. If he is willing to travel a little further then we worry about Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State, Notre Dame.

I don't think we lose this kid to a USC, Texas, or SEC school. He has stated that distance is a big factor for him.

Nebraska is about 3 hrs from his home.

#2 He is VERY impressed with us.

He unoficially visited us this summer and was "blown away" by everything he saw and heard. He even tweeted a "Nebraska... wow"

He returned for a second unofficial visit for the Wisconsin game and had a "fantastic" time.

He plans on traveling to OSU to watch them play us this week.

He is planning on coming on his third unofficial visit to watch us play Penn State.

The only other schools he has visited so far are Iowa and Iowa State... both which have already gotten worse ratings than us.

#3 He's use to the Midwest culture

We don't have to fight the hick stereotype or cornfield boring stereotype with him. He's from a culture and climate very similar to Nebraska's. He feels at home.

 
LSU got beaten by Florida soundly, does that mean all of their recruits are giving up and going elsewhere? It's hard to undefeated in college football, kids know that the teams they are looking at will not win all the games they play in for the 4 to 5 years they are going to be there.

 
It appears this kid is the top WR target in Rivals Top 100 ... commits a year in advance to Iowa St. and rated us higher. Hope we can still wiggle in there some how.
