     This one kind of surprises me.  I really thought that Tom Osborne would
     be 
able to keep all the in-state players.  Maybe this will turn out to be like 
Ahman Green, and he'll change his mind at the last minute.  Or maybe, 
Osborne and Pelini weren't that interested for some reason.  Anyone know 
anything else about him?

     I think probably a couple of things are in view here.  One is not
     everyone, even in the state of Nebraska, gets wowed off their feet by Tom
     Osborne.  That and he is not the football coach.  Once things settle down
     and get into a day to day routine typically an Athletic Director doesn't
     have much contact with the athletes be it whatever sport.  Very few
     recruits are swayed one way or another by who is sitting in the AD's
     chair.  That coupled with the fact TO hasn't coached for ten years now
     and most of those 10 years were spent away from the University and the
     State as a U. S. Representative.  Considering Trent Robinson was probably
     about 7 years old the last time TO coached a game Robinson probably
     doesn't have a lot of recollection of TO coaching.  Along with the
     position that most parents do not tell their kids where they have to go
     to school will throw other teams into the mix very favorably.
