Schaefer tweet

No. Bookie got a crystal ball by a Clemson writer who has just over a dozen predictions.
Wiltfong is a national recruiting analyst and is the director of recruiting for 247 Sports. He usually only makes a prediction if he has solid info on that recruit and has almost 400 predictions this year alone, with a near 90% accuracy.

Yup! This prediction is a legit speculative N, not a bunch of fan-boy clickbait like the Clemson one for Bookie.

In my opinion, we have an excellent chance at landing this guy if we keep it up. And yes, pairing this kid up with Guy Thomas as our starting OLB's next year would be SCARY. We could focus our big dudes on the line and have these two terrorizing QB's all game. It would be siiiiiick.

Don't think Micah doesn't know that, by the way. Kids want to come to a school that has a shot at winning, yes, but when you're an elite talent like he is, you also want to come to a place that will treat you well, let you play a lot, and get you in front of a wider audience so that your NFL draft chances go up. Nebraska fits all of those things for Micah, plus he happened to have a great visit here. We have a decent shot, I'd say.

So this is basically the equivalent of the guy that gave a crystal ball to Clemson for Bookie? I guess the fact that 1 person thinks this has a chance is a start
Comparing Wiltfong to Fravel is like comparing the CEO of a bank to a teller. If you are a betting man I like the CEO's knowledge of the situation a hell of a lot more then the tellers. Either way I am not comfortable with the Bookie situation as you all know, and that was before the CB prediction from Fravel

I do think it is interesting that there haven't been any more CB's for Parsons to Nebraska. Usually after Wiltfong puts in a CB, a bunch of others follow, like with Joseph Lewis to USC last year ;(

I wouldn't worry about it. Long way to go. We know Bray and Parella are up to the task, so enshallah with this one.

I thought the tweet from Schaefer said "More is coming."

I believe Wiltfong's hit rate on crystal ball picks was over 90% this last year. It's obvious he knows something really concrete to throw this out there at this time.

Lewis went to South Dakota? And we couldn't reel him in from there? These coaches need to be fired for losing him to South Dakota!

This is America. We speak American here!

I think you have it backwards. Looks like Parsons is backing of you and Ohio St, but keep on pumping the chest out.


Wiltfong from 247 is reporting that both schools have cooled on him and that Nebraska is recruiting him hardest. On the same report he felt PSU is likely to land Tyreke Smith or Jayson Oweh or both. Ohio State is also heavily recruiting Oweh and Smith.

This what led to Wiltfongs switching his crystal ball pick.

Not pumping my chest as I'd be happy land the #5 player overall and one from my home state, but it's not likely.

Thanks, I do still find it odd that he is taking a visit this weekend if PSU has "cooled" on him.
 
How can you say PSU backed off if he is officially visiting there this weekend?

His official visit is this weekend? I read he might be coming but not his official visit. He can visit often since he is close. He can verbally commit again too, but no one should take him serious until he signs and shows up on campus next fall. If I was his coach I'd also ban him from using twitter.

Interesting info, if true. All I know is we need him and he'll play day 1 if he comes here. I don't care who cools on him and who continues to recruit him hard. Husker fans saw pretty clearly the type of athlete he is at FNL. I will say one thing for certain - we need him worse than either PSU or OSU does.
Fingers crossed.

Is it good or bad that he hasn't tweeted about our play?
 
He's visiting a place that has cooled on him?

It appears that way, but he has visited PSU a few times after he decommitted and is going to use all 5 off his official visits. Plus he has a good friend already committed to PSU. I can't speak for Ohio State, but I'm confident PSU would take him but the staff isn't going to be held hostage by him nor are they going invest a ton of time on him. Franklin already asked him stop taking visits and they came to a mutual understanding that was best if he decommitted. Of course we would liked him to stop taking visits and recommit.

Ohio State I think would take him too, but it usually upsets a coaching staff and locker room when a recruit is demanding QB changes. It's like if Micah were to publicly question Riley and his staff after Tanner Hill's high number of interceptions against Oregon.

Tanner Hill is the worst!
