I heard 3-star WR/CB (Cal commit) Michael Onyemaobi is visiting UNLV this weekend. Can anyone confirm?
Michael Onyemaobi
- Thread starter Menzies_Jay
- Start date
Would be a huge get late in the process. I like him at both WR or DB. One of those guys you get on campus anyway you can and figure where he fits in later.
Nebraska was in to see him early this morning. News/ updates on targets should be coming in fast and furious now that the dead period is over.
They really need to drive home the point that there's nothing to do in Lincoln, Nebraska and that Las Vegas is where the fun is.
Well, we certainly can't compete in terms of success, so I guess it depends what he's looking for. Hopefully the hype with the new practice facility, new stadium deal, etc is enticing
I think about one third of NFL players played at a non-P5 school, so I think that the coaches would make sure to mention that when recruiting against P5 schools. Also, I think that over half of the Dallas Cowboys roster played at a non-P5 school.
UNLV makes his top 5 along with Nebraska TCU Iowa State and Washington State
If we pull this off major hats off to Sanchez and the rest of the staff.
The kid is a next level player. Imagine how much he'd stand out here!
It's down to UNLV, TCU and Nebraska right now and he is currently in Lincoln for his OV. If he wants to play WR, then he'll be a Rebel. If he wants to play DB, then he'll go to TCU or Nebraska. Would be a massive win to pull this off because he is a highly underrated talent. If he hadn't committed to Cal all the way back in May and had played the recruiting game, he would have been a 4 Star by now.
CTS probably can't RS him either for him to come here. Neb. could RS him though, they have a ton of talent at both WR or DB. TCU I have no clue.
He is on a visit to Nebraska this weekend and is giving out his official final 3 tonight.
One of the things he likes about UNLV is that Barney guarantees that he will not RS if he shows up ready to play. He wants to play early. TCU and Nebraska have told him that he will play early as a DB.
I think he cuts it down to Nebraska, TCU & UNLV tonight unless he just commits to Nebraska.
I am not very concerned with Ole Miss. I think Nebraska is most likely and TCU second. I would love to see UNLV get the commit, but see them as a dark horse in this recruiting war.
Unless Ol' Miss is sending out their bagman, they're are just too late to the dance.
I'm a little surprised that the Clones took UNLV's spot but I still think it's between TCU & Nebraska. Having a great visit at Nebraska. Really impressed with the facilities and the stadium. Those are two things that we have no control over right now.Posted his final 3, TCU, Nebraska, & Iowa State.
Me too. I'm guessing Nebraska. I still like that UNLV is making enough of an impression that we are in the mix for some solid players, even if they commit to another program. In the next few years we will be able to keep players that would have passed on us before.
Indeed. Get the new facilities and the new stadium and we'll be able to do a ton more in recruiting.
We were promising the same things as the others. We'll get more kids who want to be here when we have the new facilities and the new stadium.
We need to send players to the NFL. That is why Boise State can compete with P5 schools for players.
It will happen when we get the new facilities and the new stadium. I think a kid with serious NFL expectations is going to pick UNLV over an Iowa State type Power 5 program when he sees that he'll be playing in an NFL stadium where Raider scouts will have their own box for the games and those Raider scouts can come watch him at every single practice by just walking out of the office.
Tau, McTyer and Valaoga all have a shot this year at being late round guys, potential free agent signings. Good luck to them and hopefully it helps bring some nice pub to the program.
M.O. just signed with TCU. Gave thanks to those who recruited him, including shouts out to HCTS and BC. I know, close only counts in horseshoes but it's still a good trend for the future.
