[Husker] Husker: Other side of the coin

[jon johnston]

The difference between turning him down in November and now is a  
matter of timing. Turning him down now severely limits his options to  
visit other schools, and more scholarships will have been offered,  
limiting the pool of available scholarships.

I am applying the above paragraph to recruiting in general. How it  
applies to the Bodtmann situation is anybody's guess.

Recruiting has always been, is now, and will always be, a mess. Just  
like the rest of college football, it's organized chaos.
