On when he'll announce his commitment:

"My plan is to commit on my brother's birthday, July 31. I'm going to take it until then. My brother passed away four years before I was born. Our birthdays are four days apart, that's why I wear the number 44. He means a lot to me because my mom says I resemble him a lot, and I act just like him. So I'm going to make this dedicated to him."

On returning to Nebraska for the spring game:

"I'm looking forward to the fans. I miss them a lot. There are a few fans I've seen every time I've been there. ... Moreso, I would say I'm looking forward to meeting Coach (Bob) Diaco. I haven't met him in person yet. I'm looking forward to seeing Miss Dee, Coach Riley's wife. We have a great relationship; she's a great woman.

"I'm looking forward to seeing the guys. I haven't talked to any of the players in a while besides my old teammates. So I'm looking forward to just seeing the guys in the locker room, see how they interact with each other. There's nothing like Nebraska."

And he had the opportunity to meet with the great Coach Milt. Can't recall Milt's comment to him, but wonder if it resonated with someone like Bookie. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Best of luck to him wherever he commits.

Would be happy to have him on board and there will be so many talented young men at the spring game, it would be great to get a large share of them to be future Huskers.

Bookie being N will be huge, but I have that taste in my mouth OU isn't out of the picture yet...

Bookie plans on watching Thursday's practice. Story soon. Will include the heavy meaning he puts on a talk he had w/ the late Milt Tenopir.

Lamar Jackson, E Blades and him would make a great set of DBs. Hopefully Dismuke comes along as well

He'll be working over recruits this weekend no doubt. His attitude seems so positive and he's confident in building something great here.
Watching him at FNL last year this kid is a special talent. He was blanketing all the 4 and 5 star WR's and he was only a JR. Also a great kid to boot. I think he will be the Key Jr and T Geb to peer recruit for this years class. GBR!!
