I'm curious to see where exactly you've read that we're "favorite" for KJ JR, because I certainly haven't found it. Just because a guy visits doesn't mean he's coming here. He's been to many schools... you really think someone of his stature is coming here? LOL. As far as Colbert everything I've "read and heard" is that he wants to play in the SEC. I base my beliefs on past history; after all, if we don't learn from the past, we are prone to make the same mistakes. Also don't forget that one of the top recruits in the country is one of my ex-students and interacts with many of these guys and lets me know what they're saying. Let's wait until NSD and then we'll revisit this thread. I'm sure there will be plenty of excuses by then, and of of your little puppydog-like followers will be here to support you and lick your wounds. So go ahead, "show everyone what I'm doing." While you're at it, why don't you also show them your claims against me (such as my supposed predictions of doom and gloom following the BYU loss) and your lack of evidence to support it.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Just a couple things. First, there is no history with Mike Riley at Nebraska, so there is no precedent set for what caliber of kids he can and will bring to Lincoln. From everything I have seen and read/heard from all four recruiting services, Riley is doing a better job or recruiting than Pelini did. There
is a precedent set with Nebraska having actually recruited elite guys to Lincoln in the past. Marlon Lucky, Aaron Green, Rex Burkhead, Terrell Newby, Adam Taylor were five and four star recruits that were considered the best RB's in California and Texas and chose Nebraska. That's just a quick handful, I mean, Nebraska signs several four-star kids every class dating back to every coach who has been here since Osborne.
As for Keyshawn Johnson Jr., you're right, he has visited a lot of places but he has visited Nebraska the most and has stated his affinity for the program. Dating back to when Keyshawn Sr.'s Team 19 visited last March, along with Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, etc. they (not just KJ jr) named Nebraska has their favorite visit. It's no sure thing that he will choose Nebraska, no doubt, but there is better than a .1% chance like you say. He plans to visit at least twice this season after already coming to Lincoln two or three times during the spring and summer. I think USC, Alabama and Ohio State are going to be the biggest competition, but looking at 247Sports' crystal ball predictions, RR and I aren't the only ones who think Nebraska has a legit chance at his commitment.
And lastly, as an outsider looking in, you seem very angry and cynical about the Nebraska program, for a fan. Is your doubt and trepidation about Mike Riley as coach? Just asking because I haven't really interacted much with you to know. Honestly not trying to agitate you, just wondering why you spit such venom towards Riley and your favorite team. Were you a Bo fan, didn't like the Riley hire, both, neither? Just wondering. "you really think someone of his stature is coming here? LOL", Really? Is it because of Riley? If not, what are your reasons for rooting for Nebraska, because the way you come off, Nebraska can't recruit top players so why even bother rooting for a team that won't ever be competitive?
