I'll raise you Justin Patton, Huskers.


Tough to say how exactly hard Miles was working, but I know we've given offers to freshmen that we would have loved to see commit to CU

I know. That comment was intended to be slightly tongue-in-cheek.

I know you are joking, but we had not offered him.

Best of luck to the kid.

This season may have the most amount of talent in the Omaha area in a long time.

Whatever, our coaches had cooled on him anyways. We definitely backed off him to go after better prospects

Maybe I am missing something and the comments were a bit more tongue in cheek than I was reading (much can be lost in translation over message board communication), but I would appreciate it if we would hold ourselves to a bit higher standard than we currently are with regard to constantly needing to one up the team from Lincoln if something goes right for them. Great for them, they got an in-state recruit. I don't follow this all close enough to know whether we had in fact cooled on this prospect, but that being said, we don't need to lower ourselves to their level saying we were going after "better prospects"--we are going after different prospects. I hope the state of Nebraska turns into a much more fertile recruiting ground than it has been in the past, and as of right now, it seems to be heading in that direction. There were many years where the state did not have a high D-1 prospect. Now, we have several at a time. This is great news for Creighton.

I think the italics mean that they are "quoting" UNL fans from past recruiting battles where CU landed a kid they were going after.

What I don't understand is why a coach would put in a ton of time getting a commit from a player that wouldn't step on the floor for at least two years. I would rather focus on players for this year and next rather than two years or more down the road. How would a coach know that a player wouldn't de-commit in a year and end up signing somewhere else? He wouldn't. Just seems like a waste of time this early on. Maybe Miles and his staff didn't put in much to get Arop to commit, but probably not.

It's not a bad thing to get in on prospects early. My guess is Arop's commitment hasn't had any impact on Nebraska's class this year. It didn't stop Miles from doing work to pick up a commit from Andrew White.
