The fact he has never attempted to visit Nebraska speaks volumes....I would think if he gets the LSU offer it will be a late one like Jones last year....frankly I'm actually glad he decommitted early....gives us tons of time to replace him...in that sense not a big deal....
Agree on LSU...we were a place-holder....
So be it....time to move on....we will be fine...
Best of luck to him where ever he ends up...
Priest Willis will be a great replacement for him...
I agree Nebraska can and will move on from Dixon. But its guys like this that you really hate to lose. Much like Tevin Mitchel before him, Tre'Vell Dixon is going to be a good player and although its been expected, it still stings. Its not like losing a commitment from guys in the past like Keeston Terry, Aaron Bouzos or Darien Bryant. Dixon is a legit 4* kid, like Tevin was, and I expect him to be a stud in college.....Heck, ya never know, maybe he wont get the LSU offer and Nebraska can get back ahead of Arizona State and Texas A&M by February? I doubt it though...
Could it be that Nebraska has maybe cooled on this guy thus he is looking else where?

I'm shocked it took him this long to consider doing so. His position coach takes a job at the school he dreams of playing for and he was stuck committed to a school he's never visited. You honestly can't fault the young man. Would love for his talent to stay with this class, yes we can replace him (I agree about the Priest Willis comment, RR), but that doesn't take away the fact that he was/is still a great talent. Some would say, do we want a kid who de-committed to open up his recruiting again, I would say yes in this situation. I see this as he wants to be sure he makes the correct decision. What if he would have came to Lincoln as a commit and saw that he didn't think Lincoln was the place he wanted to be. He would have limited his opportunities with other schools who may have cooled on him due to him being committed.
If he doesn't end up with us when it's all said and done, no biggie. We will still be alright.
Once the tide goes out, it never comes back in. He's gone.
Surprised it took this long. This gives us a little more room to bring in a JC S if we need one, and/or not overload on S/ATH types.
Yup....such as JUCO Safeties Taj Letman and Shaquille Fluker (S/CB) who we are recruting hard....
Also Tahaan Goodman we are after hard from CA...hopefully Stanton is in his ear today....
Expect to see a few new offers to boot....
