Front page says...Can anyone confirm op??
He’s not “N”....yet.
All OP is going off is what it says on the HuskerOnline front page.
Yes. A question mark is better than an asterisk .Hence my ? in the Title post. I hope he is N, like his size and doesn’t give up on plays.
I see great benefit in taking a good Juco player. It will help spread out/ even out class sizes. Question: is Fonua a 2 for 2 guy or a 3 for 2 guy?
An answer as well for those who wonder why the two teams in the Polynesian Bowl are named Team Makai and Team Mauka:
– Mauka (mow-kah) means on the mountain side of the road in the context of directions.
– Makai (mah-kigh) means on the ocean side of the road in the context of directions.

If we finish off with:It is going to be fascinating to see how we close out this class. It is possible we won’t have room for multiple four star guys we have a legit shot at. Weather or not we take multiple OLB’s will be particularly interesting. If we take Fonua that probably means we will take 2 and something has to give somewhere else.
I think that’s pretty much the list (if we have room), but I also wonder if they consider guys like Houston or Bivens a must take and what happens if they want N.If we finish off with:
OLB Fonua
OLB Parker/Jordan
WR Njoku
CB James
S NPG
DL Pola-Mao
That would be a pretty awesome finish to this class.
That's what is reported here:3 for 2 I believe.

My assumption is that Bivens would be a replacement for Mills if they don’t see him making it. If Fonua is “N”, I see them taking 2 OLB(1 juco and 1 HS). Not sure who I like more between Parker and Jordan. Jordan has some pretty impressive film. Asante was talked about at one point, but I don’t think he even has a visit set up yet and there may not be a spot for him if he wants it.I think that’s pretty much the list (if we have room), but I also wonder if they consider guys like Houston or Bivens a must take and what happens if they want N.
According to Clouse and Callahan, NU will probably be taking 30 this year. With that list and only Mills in(Bland is 50/50 right now, that would put us at 30.We can't take all of these guys, unless we don't sign Mills or Bland. If we sign Mills and Bland, we only have about 4 more spots available.

I like all of those guys. But really want Bland it make it. He will make us better next year.According to Clouse and Callahan, NU will probably be taking 30 this year. With that list and only Mills in(Bland is 50/50 right now, that would put us at 30.
No, Danniels will count toward the 85 total, but not the 30 this year.Doesn't the 30 count Darrion Daniels, too? Counting Daniels, we signed 24. Mills would be 25, without Bland that gives 5 spots. With Bland, only 4 spots.
If Daniels doesn't count toward the 30, then we could take them all without Bland.

Not sure what the deal with Bland is. He had told Bryan Munson at one time that he would be an early signee/graduate and would be here in January. Then, he doesn’t sign and tells everyone that the plan was always that he would sign in February. Some stuff just doesn’t add up with him. I’d be surprised if he does sign here, but you never know I guess.I like all of those guys. But really want Bland it make it. He will make us better next year.

I'm not sure I can get used to turning away 4*s because the class is full. I'm used to us scrambling around in February and barely filling up the class with reaches like Ernest Suttles.It is going to be fascinating to see how we close out this class.

I understand what you were saying. I was replying to those who were looking for “confirmation”, thinking he had committed.Hence my ? in the Title post. I hope he is N, like his size and doesn’t give up on plays.

We have other backs to rely on..
Would be a good addition to the class. Love having Islanders on the team. Those dudes are warriors. Definitely want an OLB that is ready to play right away, too.
Hard to say bc we cant see the complete picture..for instance if they can add a grad transfer gaurd and not take the risk of bland academics..then it would make sense to grab hs stud. Same for mills..remember grad transfer dont count toward the 30. BUT a guy like bland does count against the 30..so if he doesnt make it academically..he would of cost you a 4 star hs kid(5 yr player)I think that’s pretty much the list (if we have room), but I also wonder if they consider guys like Houston or Bivens a must take and what happens if they want N.
Timing is everything..i believe they want to know on fonua and they will go from there. Think they value houston over james/mayo. Pola mao over them as well. Meaning if pola gates/pola mao/houston/njoku are must takes and if any of them are out it will open up space for a db.
