Class of 2016 CB Tony Butler (OH) Verbal to Nebraska

[jekelish]

Skowt rates him as the #1 safety in Ohio.

Uh...yes, please.

 

[OrangeMojo]

wonder if the Pitt fans were upset he committed to Pittsburgh University (PU)

From that article:

His options right now are Michigan, Rutgers, Arizona State, Minnesota, and Maryland.

. It also mentions ASU as his #1, but since the author obviously didn't have the right 5 schools listed, I'm not sure how valid the ASU #1 comment is.

Wouldn't hold your breath on this one, this kid is all over the place.

That being said, we definitely are in need of bigger DB's, so would be a great get if we can manage it.

A CB the size of Butler, and the St. Edward's pedigree would put him towards top of my wish list considering it's not only a position of need, but a position that needs an athlete with his size. I'd put Butler right with Burrell, and Moran as most important gets the rest of the cycle.

I would add in Amir Watts and, hopefully, Bo Peek but otherwise agree with who the other top targets should be.

Need wise I wouldn't put Watts or Peek in that category just because we are so loaded with young talent. CB, S, and RB are positions where it's a must we hit with a talented prospect.

I think RB is less of a need than DT personally, but agree it'd be nice to land Moran there. I think the emergence of Fredericks, and the ability to move Strickland back if needed, bolsters the RB spot very well.

I don't know I like Strickland just where he is. He's a little learner then I thought. I think he's a prototypical eXB, and has the big plays to prove it. Not sure if we'd get the same production at RB. I'd like for him to stay there, and bring in Moran in the hopes he can give us next year what Fredericks is this year so he can be JF's primary back up. But that's just me.

Hoping he takes his visit to Arizona State while school is on holiday break - if you know what I'm saying.

Tony, we at Arizona State have to share facilities. The football team has to share the locker room with the swimsuit team, I hope you don't mind.

That article is from July. Working too hard on the quarterly withholdings?

#1 Safety in OH committing to SU two years in a row?

No month-end close

Could be worse. I have been going through 20 years in returns because of a property that was involved in a 1031 for basis and capital gains. LOL. Just commit me now.

Pitt told him if he committed he couldn't take any other visits. He got interest from big schools and got his head turned. They didn't offer, so he's SoL on Pitt and that's why his recruitment was re-opened.

 

[retro44]

Sounds like this kid was not very high on Pitts wish list if they can just very easily turn their back on a kid who is looking out for his best possible options. If Spitt really waned this kid big time they would recruit him even harder. They caved......

Some dude said Nebraska needs him. Troy Henderson replied saying he's coming with him to Syracuse.

"Excuse me, stewardess, I speak jive."
