Agreed. Good that we have the final visit. Just the fact that he's been to Nebraska like 8 or 9 times now is a little concerning.
Wonder if he was there at a time when they were processing the latest Lawrence Phillips news?

You could also say it is telling that he has been to Nebraska like 8 or 9 times and HASN'T pulled the trigger yet. I mean that would concern me as an Iowa fan if a kid had been here 8 or 9 times and was still hadn't committed to us.
I agree in a way. But why would you go somewhere 9 times if you weren't interested? Especially when you're paying your own way on the visit for most of them. Also, from interviews I've watched of him, his interest is pretty real. Neb is clear favorites. Our job to change that on his visit. FWIW, Farniok has been planning to drag the process out to NSD for awhile now. He is taking all of his visits.
Actually he is only taking 3 of his visits I believe. Nebraska, MSU and Iowa.
I'm not too worried about him, if he comes great, if he doesn't I'm sure the staff has a plan B & C.
His Mom is reported to be in the NE camp but beyond that it is highly up in the air. He has visits at his home by all three programs (MSU, NE, IA) this week. Dantonio stopped by his home immediately after his vist to MSU this weekend. It's a dogfight for him with these three programs. NE a clear favorite....no. He's not taking a 5-6 hr trip to IC in Jan. just for some fun on the beach.
Being reported by NE media that the Huskers have already scheduled another in-home after the Iowa official this weekend. They stated they believe the entire offensive staff may visit him. All three programs still fighting for Alaric Jackson as well. MSU offered another OL this weekend and NE is reportedly looking for 2 OL recruit openings. Will be interesting to see where the scholarship/s go for IA if we get neither.
Did not want anyway.....isn't that what we are supposed to say now?
If people say that, they're delusional as hell
It was a joke man. It is better that he turn us down now, I'm sure the staff has contingency plans.
Well that sucks. I guess 5-7 > 12-0.
Most recruits don't commit to a school solely based on their last year's record (in which they didn't even play) That's not how I would choose where I spend the next 4 or 5 years. A lot more goes into a recruit's decision than that.
