---Knevel, Love and Singleton are enrolled and in class.....started yesterday....will be in winter conditioning and spring ball....Singelton may figure in the safety mix in the fall....could even be a starter...at the worst in the mix....staff is going to throw him in the fire and get him to speed as much as possible....that way he can hit the ground running in the fall....very athletic kid.....
---Spoke about the five USC Decommits and the decommit today of DE Fitts and his interest in Nebraska....whole thing is strange....not sure if will enroll early now or wait it out until the fall....Nate spoke to him last spring and he had an interest in Nebraska....looking for a school where he could grow as an athlete and spritual....you have to wonder if Coach K and Coach Brown may not be on the phone with him.....
---Newby will announce tomorrow at 3:30 PM CST (1:30 here in CA) and all signs point to Nebraska.....would be surprised if he does not pick Nebraska....Staff has done a tremendous job recruiting him....one day away from committing to Cal and Coach Fisher got him to come to Big Red Weekend....which totally blew him away....came back for an OV and the staff has recrutied him harder than anyother school.....UCLA has come in hard the last month....but Nebraska has been in from the begining....if the Huskers get him tomorrow it will be a HUGE commitment for Nebraska (#1 RB in the state of CA).....and two very, very good RBs in this class....
---If Nebraska lands Newby they will jump big-time in the team recruiting rankings....a HUGE jump....Newby is #67 on the Rivals 100.....sixth best RB in the entire country....one notch below a five-star prospect on Rivals....Could end up Top 15 in Rivals (who does not recognize Singelton as a 2013 recruit thus, pulling the class down).....
---HUGE fan of Malik Collins....explosive, athletic kid....very raw, but has all of the tools....just a baby in development.....as a wrestler understands leverage....and he is very quick....wrestling really comes into play....
HIS UPSIDE IS UNREAL......oh and he is getting attention now Nebraska has commitments....Arkansas is snooping around....reached out to him....he is solid to Nebraska...not intrested in anyother school.....best of all....his Mom is sold on Nebraska....
He and his Mom fell in love with Nebraska....the Husker coaches sealed the deal on him.....his high school coaches loved the Huskers coaches...said they were honest with him...not the normal dog and pony show that most college coaches put on....they told his coach the way it was not what he wanted to hear....Malik and his parents loved what they heard....
---Big OV visit weekend this coming weekend.....6 visitors.....Ernest Suttles (soft verbal to Iowa State) is an under the radar guy....has only played football for two years....very athletic....the Huskers stand a good chance at getting him....
---JUCO TE Brandon Vandenburg will visit too....probably the most important visitor this weekend....6'6" and 250lb TE....very similar to Beau Sandland....Huskers have a good shot at him....going head to head with Tennessee and Vanderbilt.....
---Husker have 'mo' going on in recruiting and Newby committing will only help the finish....
