Lol yes Williams. I'm still hung up on Guy Thomas!
I agree with Avenger....If he comes here, breaks all kinds of records, wins the Heisman, helps us win a championship or three, etc, etc, there will be a grand total of zero fans who will care what he said on twitter before he committed. Every single one of us will be impatiently waiting for the University to retire his jersey and get his name and number up in Memorial Stadium.
Agreed, I was thinking strictly as an outside observer. I hesitate to think what I'd have done with my recruitment on twitter were it available back then. And I was a D2 & NAIA track recruit! I'd have milked that for whatever it was worth and double that on Sunday. That said, if one of my kids is getting attention, I'm throwing their phone in the lake.
Please pass me what you two are drinking.
I'm not saying he'll do that at all. I hope he will, but it's highly unlikely. However, my point was that outside of him not signing with us or transferring later, no matter what happens no one will remember his pre-commitment tweets even a few months down the road.
If he comes, cool. If not, well.... best of luck I suppose.
Don't put a lot into his tweets but what Brandon Reilly had to say about JC this morning has me more concerned about whether or not this kid finishes his career as a Husker if he ends up here anyway.
Says he messaged Calvin regarding his Oregon State commit in which he replied "Just wanted to see how people reacted and see if they still care about me, but I still want to go to Nebraska and I am sure I still end up there".
If true than that sure as hell sounds like more of a "me" guy than a "we" guy...
As for the care about me comment... If directed at the coaches, not sure what else they could have done to show he was a top priority, Williams has been recruiting him consistently since last spring.

Tyjon thinks Calvin is still N. They are close and are supposed to be roommates, FWIW.
This is what I was curious about... sounds like the kid really enjoys all the attention he's received via social media and he knows his time is almost up so he's "stoking the fire" so to speak. As far as reflection of character with stunts like this... I think it show his immaturity reflected in manners completely consistent with 17 year olds. This too shall pass, he'll grow up, they all do. GBR
Nothing to see here...nothing he tweeted makes me believe that he isn't signing.
BS if he signs with us who will even remember this by his sophomore year.
Clouse thinks the Calvin situation doesn't look good for Nebraska.
I think this was definitely about the coaches. Weve seen all around the recruiting world where coaches just sort of "drop off" contact with a recruit. I could see how this might have happened given he was a silent commit anyhow.
I think the kid is quick as hell and a very good WR. I hope it all works out tomorrow. I absolutely wouldnt be surprised if he drags this out beyond the next week or so.
If I were a recruit, and this is solely speaking for myself, once I was committed I'd want the coaches to pursue that next guy full bore. Don't worry about me, focus on the rest of the class. By wanting a ton of attention I'd actually be hurting the class in the sense that they have to parse their time more. JMO.
No 17 year-old in the USA currently thinks like this.
