I saw that Hill is now listed as a 4* while Shimonek is now a 3* according to Scout.

 

[Brasky]

Jonathan Cook is another Trevell Dixon waiting to happen. He gave the classic "it's just a verbal, I'm going to take all five visits" line.

He committed out of nowhere and has never even seen the campus.

Highly doubt he's still on the board by NSD.

Scout is not one of the services I use, Herk.

Smart man, JM.

Jonathan Rose, 2011 Army All-American rated 4 star #7 Safety and #112 prospect overall has transferred from Auburn to Nebraska. He left the team after a spring in which he led the team in INT's.

He is on campus and enrolled in classes. Will sit out this season with 3 years of eligibility remaining.

His offers in 2011 included Alabama, Auburn, Florida St., Georgia, Ole Piss, Miss. St.

Now this guy won't be named as part of the 2013 recruiting class so obviously no one expects you to include him, but he is a great get as Nebraska will be searching for a blue chip safety after Staffords' departure.

 

[mall3013]

Tyquan Lewis DE from the Tar Heel state will announce his school around 4 pm today. Bucknuts is reporting that he is going to select the Buckeyes over LSU and NC. Huge pickup for our 2013 class. He is rated a 4 star DE. Way to go Meyer!

 

[herky]

David Kenney is no longer an Iowa commit. His dad was hired at Indiana and he is heading there.

 

[ForkEmBucky]

I don't see this noted anywhere. I should mention that Darius Latham is no longer a Wisconsin commit the last time I checked.

 

[ForkEmBucky]

So over the course of the season, the Badgers actually picked up some recruits to replace some of the scholarship attrition. Notably,

Corey Clement: RB from Glassboro, NJ. 5'11" 205. Rivals 4 star.

Tyler Foreman: S from Encino, CA. 6'2" 190. Rivals 4 star. Recruited by our LB coach, so maybe they think this kid will bulk up.

Marcus Ball: ATH from Westerville, OH. 6'3" 205. Rivals 3 star. Recruited by our WR coach.

I think that's all since my last update.

 

[Brasky]

Boy this party really died.

Boy this party really died.

LOL, yeah. Probably not much going on till signing day now. I know we are done barring some off the radar recruit.
