Fwd: Re: [Husker] Honk If You Want to Play DB

[pibel]

The story on these guys out of Oklahoma goes straight to
John Blake. He has great influence on kids from his home
state. Also, Dillard was a tight end as well as linebacker
which makes him a likely candidate to have a modicum of
speed. He came out of a perennial 6A powerhouse in OK and
played on the runner-up team in the State Championship game
this past fall. Smith is the player most likely to cave to
pressure to commit to OU, I believe. He lives closest to
Norman of the three and is in a hotbed of Sooner faithful.
Interesting that Roark is doing so well since OU really
didn't recruit him due to their supposed depth at the guard
position.

football team that was supposed to play in the Orange Bowl
on January 4th)

If we get Reggie Smith (S out of Edmond, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma's #1 rated player), then I think he COULD
contribute immediately, although I think he'll be able to
contribute as a punt returner before he's ready to start at
safety. He says it's down to OU, NU, and USC for him. Many
people think he's a strong NU lean based on some his
comments and behaviors earlier in the recruiting season.
Unfortunately, he won't be announcing his decision at the
Army All-American game Saturday .. he's going to make us all
wait a bit longer than that. He would be a real jewel to add
to our class, and taking 3 of the consensus top 4 kids out
of Oklahoma is a jewel in itself. :)

On another recruiting note, the two other Oklahoma kids who
have committed to us and are at the AAA game (Craig Roark
and Phillip Dillard) are tearing things up according to
practice reports. Roark is an OG. The 5-star stud DT who
lined up against him in drills apparently had to quit early
one day due to exhaustion and a possible concussion. Dillard
, an LB,  is really impressing observers with his speed and
vision and his abilities in coverage. They can't understand
how a 240-lb linebacker can keep up with a receiver running
a pattern.
