"Rose is also friends with young Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah, so the signs all seem to look very good for Nebraska"

I'd say he's as good as N.

That seems to be the consensus...

If this happens it would be a nice haul for NU out of the blue.

Now you jinxed it...

Is he the one "silent commit" that we have heard of for so long??

[Red Reign]

No

Nope.

What I am hearing is its a done deal...just waiting on the paperwork clearance at Nebraska..could be announced tomorrow....

..this kid can flat out play...a really BIG pickup for Nebraska.......was ranked the #7 Safety in the country by Rivals in the 2011 class....and the #112 player on the Rivals 250 that season...Charles Jackson was the #100 player on the 250....

Have read on some other boards folks saying he Red Shirted last year...that is incorrect....he played as a true-Frosh.....thus come to the Huskers as a 4-3 guy however, will sit this coming season call it a RS or a transfer year....which ever.....and will have 3 years elgibility left or a 3-3 guy....

Rose played sparingly for Auburn last season, recording two tackles. But Etheredge said Chizik told him Rose's play improved in the spring when he led the team in interceptions during scrimmages.

Thanks so much for the info as always. And with Smith and Stafford playing as seniors I am more than excited for Corey Cooper and Rose to step in next year! Great pickup if it holds true!
