New Commit McGahee N!

[jaihawk]

This is big. Talented player and never hurts to have a well-known former star NFL player’s son on board. Hopefully it works out better than Keyshawn’s and McCaffery’s boys though.

How about as good as Kurt Warner's kid or Matt Damon's adopted nephew?

This does not suck!

Not to be that guy but we've had great success with Florida recruits the last few years soooooooooooooooo ya know

 

[Dell Husker]

His dad is apparently electric with the ladies too. From his wikipedia below

“McGahee was known for both his dislike of Applebee’s (which his successor in Buffalo, Marshawn Lynch, lampooned in an ESPN skit with Kenny Mayne.) and his multiple children with various women in his life. Last count had him at 10 children by 9 different women by the time he was 32.”

Sounds like a solid pipeline of Huskers from them

We thinking it's something magic about Florida or Frost being garbage? I'm personally like 50/50

At least this guy is only a 3-star, so better chance of sticking.

60/40 in favor of Frost not hand holding once they're here and Florida guys getting weather shell shocked most of the time. Can't change weather so I'll go with Rhule holding hands more and decreasing that turnover rate by a few percentage points

Wonder if he gets ranked higher if he's a RB with that name.

 

[SOHusker11]

But what does it mean Bean?

 

[BorWhiskey]

That’s neat.

Who else wanted him?

I asked the Bing chat bot to see what it would say:

According to web search results, Willis McGahee IV had eight offers before committing to Nebraska today. He is a four-star edge rusher from Miami Palmetto High School, where he had 50 tackles and eight sacks as a junior. He is the son of former Miami and NFL star running back Willis McGahee III, who won a national championship in 2001 and was a Heisman finalist in 2002. Nebraska beat out schools like Auburn, Michigan, and Tennessee for his commitment. ¹²³⁴⁵

Fucking awesome

 

[Cookiemonster]

He will immediately be my favorite player just because of his dad if he ends up sticking.

 

[Driveway Jordan]

GBR!!!

 

[Tsakoi]

I like this commit and encourage other guys to commit this weekend so we can talk about something other than that other kid from Arizona.

Mario Buford come on down.

 

[Lionsfan93]

His dad also played on that 2000 Miami team - the last time we played in the championship. Just another example of us reversing the curse!!!

We have Frank in the house and a commitment from the bloodlines of a member of the Miami team that demoralized us in our last meaningful outing. It’s finally happening.

I wonder what BTN will cut to when Lil Red is given to the football gods as our final offering after the drug pledge.

I'm not sure that's true.

Didn’t read my second part huh?

Love the pick up!!!! Boom!!!! And much like my excitement about recruits like Raiola I see much of this as positive momentum and marketing nationally. National Writers will give this more pub because of who his father is. Builds momentum and brings attention to what Rhule is doing at Nebraska. Perception can become reality in recruiting. GBR!!!
