[Husker] Tobi Okuyemi verbally to Nebraska

[Skylar Dodds]

Yeah.  No kidding.  There was a 2011 QB from Texas who just raved about the
visit.  There's some pretty good H.S. ball in Texas and he passed and ran
for over 2,000 yards (each) this season as a junior.  He said it was the
most amazing place he's been to (which includes UT and OSU).

We also had Austin Hill visiting.  For those of you who follow recruiting,
he was probably the biggest target for us to land.  Not only is he a very
talented 4* receiver, but he's the cousin of both Andrew Green (NU CB
redshirting) and the biggest target for the Huskers in 2011 Aaron Green
(projected 5* RB).  I know a lot of people don't put a ton of stock in stars
(I really don't either), but some have projected he might be the #1 overall
running back in the country by some services and if you watch his highlight
video, you'll see he's the real deal.

Another target was Harold Mobley who is an athlete/tight end who really went
on and on about Nebraska's fans and their facilities. 

We had some offensive targets there...not sure if it was our 'best foot
forward' but this staff has really targeted some big-time recruits.
Hopefully they can close the deal.   

It does seem a little like Pelini has targeted the defense for his recruits,
but to an extent I think he feels he had to.  I don't think we had any depth
whatsoever under the previous administration.  All you need to know is last
year we started 3 walkons at linebacker and this year we're starting 2
freshman.  And even though I think that Gomes/Prince/Dennard are very very
good in the backfield, I think it drops off after that (West).

Hopefully after this year he'll be a little more balanced.

Interesting that all three are defensive players.  Maybe just a coincidence,
but the offense needs to pick up some big commits as well.
