'12 IL WR Jordan Westerkamp (Nebraska Verbal)

[IrishLax]

It's sh*t or get off the pot time. We can get someone else if he doesn't want to hop on the train. I'm sure he realizes that and expect an announcement of one sort or another by Monday.

 

[CarrollVermin]

Kelly in the house, supposedly on the verge, "great visit" but still no word...

What gives, Ms. Carroll?

I'm hoping I'm wrong, but I'm set for the hard fall.

I guess I really just miss The Shark.

I'm always looking for the next guy; I miss GT too. He was so sick! So exciting those two.

Was that a backhanded insult?

Lol.

It was a little uncalled for but intended comedic.

My bad.

Carroll is such a "nancy" sometimes...

Oh, no worries, I was pulling your chain. My skin is a little thicker than that...unless you're a Skunk Bear, then all bets are off.

My parents were married... No Skunkbear here.

I'm good.

Lol.

Thanks sir. It was bad comedy.

Thanks for posting. Neal or Agholor? We'll see.

 

[Irishnuke]

It's amazing the highs and lows of recruiting we've experienced in a week.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

Fixed it for you.

 

[TerryTate]

Thanks for posting. Neal or Agholor? We'll see.

Neither...

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Very surprising. Would love to know the reasoning behind it.

Not to be a blinkered homer, but I wonder if this indicates that we're close to getting a verbal from another high profile WR?

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Neither...

Wack.

 

[arrowryan]

Well that sucks. Oh well, Nebraska got a good one. On to the next one

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Neither...

Not surprised that you're pessimistic about Agholor, but Neal as well? Did I miss something?

 

[IrishNJ89]

Amen. Good Luck to Westercamp. I think most had him penciled in as Irish.

uh wasnt BK just at this kids house on Friday, i dont see how this is any indication of anything other then this kid likes fresh corn

 

[Rhode Irish]

Umm...I am not looking forward to another season of watching Goodman fair catch punts. Ugh.

All indications are that Westerkamp's offer had a short fuse on it. If Kelly told him that he needed a definitive answer within the next few days (because we've got bigger fish on the radar), that could have impacted Jordan's decision.

 

[IrishLax]

Shocking. Have no idea what went through his head. Loyalty to coaches who might leave or get fired at any second is that strong? didn't like the pressure of commit now or we're moving on?

 

[magogian]

Nebraska really needs him. I think he is still their only WR commit. I would have liked to have him, but I wish him all the best.

Connection to teammates perhaps.

i'd love to know what's going on behind the scenes from now til NSD.

 

[TerryTate]

He seemed to be a high-character kid. I don't think he wanted to go back on his commitment. It really seemed to bother him. He liked Nebraska, felt comfortable there, and saw the opportunity to play early. He knows ND is looking to finish this class strong, and he felt best at NU.

Not really a surprise

 

[Me2SouthBend]

One less schollie taken by a newbie, leaving room for an additional 5th year (Cwynar?). If we keep Cave, Slaughter, KLM and Cwynar we have what, 4 spots left? 2 Armsteads and 2 others?

 

[BobD]

It must have been the fans....

 

[Golden Glow]

I see this thought of a big close but what recruits are we in the lead with. I can not think of one and I have a feeling that Neal will be wearing scarlet and gray. I guess we might be with Yuri (thats a big might). Poole is still strong Fla. Armsteads to me seem to be a Cal lean. Neal Osu and Agholor Usc. I am getting hte idea that we may have our class plus the 5 tears at the moment plus maybe Yuri.

 

[IrishLax]

Last thing I will say on this:

Football aside, if I told my parents I wanted to go to Nebraska over close by Notre Dame they would've laughed at me. I'm sure he has his reasons for sticking with the commitment and I wish him the best. As befuddling as it is to me, a dude behind a keyboard, I'm sure he really thought this through and is making what he thinks is the best choice.

Going to be very interesting to see if this somehow lands John Goodman a 5th year. Really, really wish we had offered Leonte Carroo now. Never understood why we didn't in the first place.
