Yep, Ameer ended up being one of the best backs in the country, the other two were no were near that.
Interestingly enough- Damon Benning was out there in front on Abdullah- way before anyone- and aggressively. That was before Ameer had even seen any snaps in games.
Listening to Nate Clouse this morning on The Bottom Line, sounds like he has an extremely good arm and is very accurate. 38 TD's and 10 INT's this year. He's also 6'4" 225lbs so he would be a load if he got rumbling down field. I say get him here and let him try it at QB and if he doesn't make it there we can always use him on the defensive side of the ball at LB?
I’m excited about Tago. Maybe he comes in and makes a difference on offense or maybe he just brings toughness to the QB room. I envision Jeremiah Masoli in the Oregon offense prior to transferring. The beauty is he either helps at QB or at LB but because he’s able to do both, I really hope we can get him!
I always wondered what happened to that guy. I used to see him on campus all the time. He was a huge dude and always had a you-don't-want-to-mess-with-me look on his face. Shocked Carl had the balls to go there.
Would be great to have Tago come in and really pump the QB competition up. He is already bigger than Frost as a high school senior...that adds a physical dimension to the run game similar to JT Barrett.
And if it doesn't work out you throw him in the weight room as a LB and now you have a 260 pound MLB. Win-win.
The Poly Community is a very interesting one. While not everyone is alike- the Poly Community is VERY tight and extremely family oriented. They are very respectful and work extremely hard. The parents are very supportive, expect a lot of their kids and the kids raised to be respectful to parents, coaches, teachers etc They are a coaches dream IMO
I had the pleasure of coaching a bunch of Polys in Reno, NV
BIG kids, they invited me to their church- you wouldn't believe how well behaved the kids were- they were in their own section totally unsupervised- down to about age 4 and totally fine.
Never had a problem with any of them- not one. Great people, great food and amazing Capella music in their own language. One of my players was 14, 6'3" 226 and ran a 4.9 40- great feet and aggression. His dad was 6'7" and played for Oregon. LOTS of vowels in the last names- lots of big smiles and very friendly people.
I really like this player- very physical, a man amoungst boys. Either as a package guy at QB on offense or an absolute beast at LB on D.
The deal is Utah has LOTs of Polys at the school and in the SLC area thanks to the LDS Church- might be a tough pull.

Another thing is a lot of them are Mormon. Ties into the family thing...it's hard to get them away from that part of the country due to the Mormon ties.
That's what I said in my post:
"The deal is Utah has LOTs of Polys at the school and in the SLC area thanks to the LDS Church- might be a tough pull".
LDS- church is- Latter Day Saints AKA Mormons
Not all are though- the Polys I coached in Reno were Tongans and had their own church that closely resembled a Lutheran Service
Ahh yes I know that. Didn't see that in your post. It's definitely a big thing too...had a Poly buddy try to recruit me to the Church!
Tago has the go ahead to commit. With the Huskers being limited on OV's, there is no way they bring someone in last weekend that doesn't have a committable offer.
for a guy rated so high it is a less than stellar group of finalists.
kind of a common theme with the last several 4-star commits.
not many top programs are involved.
is that because there are some grade issues or the big boys are full?

Think it comes down to if he really wants to try to play QB or not.... the other schools are offering him as a LB so if he wants to try QB enough he will come to Nebraska
George and the cleaning lady in his office..... then she ratted him out when he gave her a shop damaged wool sweater Laughing Man that was a great show. Then there was George and his secretary in his office with the Yankees to whom he promised a raise during his passion...a raise he couldn't give. Classic.
Obviously.... I was just stating that I would love to get him here and sort it out then. Not that I was the only one saying that or claiming to be the first to say it.
