Probably eliminates the idea that we told Carlon thanks but no thanks, which was a dumb idea to begin with. You simply don’t turn away elite DL. You wait til February and buy him lollipops if that’s what he wanted.

Good for him carving out a nice career. Shame he wouldn’t even start at Nebraska.

I knew he'd never make it as a D1 receiver.

Not great for Husker recruiting. Not great for keeping Christian Jones. Notre Dame steals or at least goes after a couple really talented dudes every cycle, and now they’ve got this to show every kid for the next 10 years.

Mawaad Watson is coming for an OV. (Or is it Maraad or Masaad? I have seen it all 3 ways)
All I can say is we must really like him. We had shut down recruiting for this class already and were working the portal for the remaining spots on the 85. This is a spot they could have used on a portal transfer.
FRom 247 national:
This fall was Watson's first at Irvington after he played at Montclair (N.J.) Immaculate Conception the year before, and he immediately impressed Blue Knights coach Ashley Pierre.
"Biggest sleeper in New Jersey," Pierre said. "He puts everything on film and gives 100 percent every single play. Extremely dominant force for us defensively and a great kid."
Pierre said his mix of character off the field and ability on the field caught his attention early.
"Extremely humble kid with next level work ethic," Pierre said. "Maraad plays with violent hands, has short areas quickness and has a violent side that he carries onto the turf every time he steps on the field."

@Carm
Is there still a 48-72 hour delay from the time you enter your name in the transfer portal and when it appears?
Maybe some of this high school recruiting adjusting is based on the coaches knowing things have changed with the numbers and the roster and we just aren't aware yet......???
I mean maybe we are offering here because there is some newly cleared space on the roster.
I also think that some of HS recruiting and offers are more aimed at the school or coach than at the specific player. Like the coaches use an offer and visit to get in the good graces of the school and its coaching staff. A little like what we did with Bishop Gorman from Vegas last month.

They have reduced the delay over time; I think it is 24 hours now.
People have a month to hit the portal in this window.
You don't offer a guy December 4 and set up an OV for the weekend before signing day if you won't take him. And they wanted Ruggeroli and ran out of space. They wanted Riley and they ran out of space. If an unexpected space opened it strikes me as more likely they would just have kept one of those OVs. I think they must want this guy more. That being said, what you suggest is clearly possible. I just think it is less likely. Especially because this isn't an offer at a big position of need.
If this is because someone unexpected is transferring, I would think that means one of the good young freshmen DL is a surprise portal.
