Non interesting fact about Pleasant Grove High School. They ended my junior and senior baseball seasons in the playoffs, and ended my freshman and sophomore seasons in the football playoffs.

A few things:

1) Aside from the rugby background, his Hudl film is really fun to watch. He plays fast af and is an aggressive tackler.

2) I kind of call BS on the “rover” comment by Greg, I think he is great playing down hill and will be a menace in the backfield blitzing from a LB position. I can’t really see moving a guy from MLB to safety regardless of the more limited coverage for the rover position. Love Greg, he may end up being correct, but disagree for now.

3) He is my new favorite recruit. I mean look at his MaxPreps profile pic lol

Edit: he arm tackles more than he should and seems shy taking on blockers at times so I definitely get the “walk-on” piece to this. But he seems like a great athlete they can develop into a more technically sound football player.

Interesting with these out of state walkons. I wonder if these are kids that had intended to play FCS or D2 ball but Nebraska is using NIL to get them here and take a chance. If they develop, great, if not…place them somewhere

At least with Rhule we know they have done their due diligence and are bringing these guys in to contribute in some way and not just bringing in bodies.

I would easily take this then one big payday for getting Raiola.

Any news on Hall @Lionsfan93 ? (besides the OV being set lol)

I'll check in and see what I can learn. His dad is in a wedding Friday that my daughters are the flower girls, so I'll see if I can chat with his dad a bit.

Yes, it would be interesting to see what happened to Penn St and Hall. Dean said Arkansas was hiss biggest player excluding Nebraska

I can't imagine that Dean is right. Maybe something changed in the last two weeks, but he explicitly old me two weeks ago that Penn St was his #1.

for reference this is what 247 Arkansas said last Friday:

DAE'VONN HALL | 6-1, 180 | Bellevue (NE) West | * * * | No. 51 WR | WARM

Hall has already made one trip to Fayetteville earlier this year and recently said that he's trying to schedule an official visit with the Razorbacks. Nebraska has been given a low-confidence Crystal Ball prediction, so far.
