I'm not concerned. We've been going after other teams' commits, and I expect other schools to be coming after our better ones as well. If he would rather play somewhere else, bye bye to him.
I would rather have kids who are excited to be here, not those looking for the best offer from the slickest snake oil salesman out there.

It still amazes me how recruits don't see coaches like Bobby Petrino and Bret Bielema for the snakes they really are. At least with guys like Saban, Urban Meyer, and Jimbo Fisher there is success to go along with the slithering.
Guy probably projects more to an OLB in a conventional 3-4, but yes, it would be very concerning.
Paup may be the backup plan.
Only good thing is we are switching to a 3-4 defense and need biggest bodies at DE than we have in the past. Granted it would suck losing him but it's the name of the game in recruiting.
Whether one calls them DE in the 4-3 or OLB in a 3-4, we are talking about edge rushers. It'll be interesting to see who successfully makes that position theirs in the spring.

There certainly isn't a lack of options; Freedom Akinmoladun, Alex Davis, Sedrick King, Collin Miller, Ben Stille, and Quayshon Alexander. It will be fun to watch those guys compete this year.
Do you have insider knowledge of backup plans?

Yes. From Nebraska's standpoint, Louisville is one of the worst places he could be visiting on the last weekend before signing day. They will pull out all of the stops, both above the board and below the board. Louisville is the most "SEC-like" team in the ACC in terms of morals. Their two primary "leaders of young men" are Petrino and Pitino.
Sounds shakier and shakier...
"It's making me think hard, real hard," Thomas said. "Nebraska is great, but Pittsburgh, they have something going.
"I'm still committed to Nebraska, but come Signing Day, I'm going to talk with my family and decide which college is best for me; that's why I'm still taking my visits, because I'm still deciding."
Thomas, who's officially visiting Louisville this Saturday, says he's also in discussions to possibly travel up to Baton Rouge on Wednesday for a midweek official visit with LSU, but says nothing is set in stone."

Just baffling to me how Nebraska continues to struggle to lock down a legit pass rushing DE HS recruit...
Seriously, not counting JUCOs ( aka Gregory), when was the last time we had a legitimate pass rushing DE commit?
Yep, capable of winning a conference title and beating the best teams around. Capable of recruiting a player away from DONU as well.
