Oh, well. Would of been a nice get (obviously), but I think this supposed "need" for a big bodied WR is exaggerated. Nebraska's going to be fine at the position.

 
Saying we need a big bodied WR turned out worse than calling an offensive lineman a project. But if the staff offered and spent resources recruiting him I’d assume they would like a big bodied WR on the roster

I didn't say they wouldn't like to have a guy like that, just that I think some of the local recruiting guys are over-blowing that need (particularly McKewon). Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Frost thinks the offense will be in trouble without one.

 
Reminds me of when we lost Owa (Owamagbe Odighizuwa) to UCLA back in 2010 when he picked the Bruins over us.  Oregon St. was in the mix also.  Similar yet different circumstances in that Owa was definitely more sought after. 

Best of luck to him honestly but continued luck to us to also...  :thumbs     :bigredn:

Owa and Devin fuller broke my heart by picking UCLA, this one doesn’t move the needle the same way. Would have been a good pick up, but just as happy with Houston. Speed kills and we are loading up with it!

With all due respect.... this is nowhere near Owa levels. lolol That thread was f#&%ing insane. You'd have thought we just lost a natty. I think we hit 50 pages for a recruit who didn't come here?

Yeah I alluded to that.  "Similar yet different circumstances in that Owa was definitely more sought after."  The whole UCLA vs Nebraska battle for a much wanted recruit in general however is what really minded me of that time.  Trust me I remember the board when that was all happening.  Major let down on here when we didn't land him as you remembered as well.

Certainly bummed to miss out on him.  Was a piece that added another dimension.

More than anything, for me, bummed to lose out in the battle to UCLA and Chip.  

Thus far, not impressed with what Chip has constructed.  Curious if anything special will take root at UCLA.  I know it us happening at :bigredn: , regardless of any one player.

Owa never materialized to anything in any level, very similar to UCLA as a whole.  No worries.

Let's build a great defense with these last few recruits.
