To what? "11 pages of pumping a kid up only to backtrack for 4 pages"?

I was thinking, "Houston > Charles, No Joke"

I think your interpretation was correct...meaning the quote was accurate and will pan out that way. And that's how I read it when I saw it about the same time you did.
I believe SF already knew what we did not, and that's why SF Inc subsequently visited Houston. He already knew Njoku was headed to UCLA.
Whether Njoku hinted to SF he's heading to UCLA or SF hinted to Njoku that he's favoring Houston, we will likely never know.
IMO, SF met Njoku and did not feel a good attitude fit but did with Houston....JMO.
I don't really know, but probably a reasonable guess. Would love to hear other guesses.
UCLA is nice, but I bet Chip Kelly has a bigger ego than coaching acumen when compared to SF.

Or maybe he just wanted to go to UCLA and we lost this recruiting battle. You don’t win them all and not sure how you could possibly infer a potential attitude problem. Not exactly fair to the kid who we were pumping up yesterday.

These last four recruits get the lion share of attention right now.

Those were my thoughts. Another thought is that if/when Njoku chooses UCLA, we can't blame distance as a deciding factor.

Fingers crossed we can get Houston.

Being from Northern Jersey and visiting both Lincoln and Los Angeles a few days apart if the weather will factor into his decision?

I am surprised Houston doesn't have his own thread. Maybe he does and I missed it.

Looks like the 'N' Joke is on U. :Ninja:

I think it’s all but a done deal, however still finding myself refreshing his twitter waiting for his announcement

Njoku to UCLA

I believe this is all but a given that Houston ends up at Nebraska
