It sounds like an unexpected commitment that even caught the Nebraska coaches by surprise although the staff had been pursuing him hard. Guess you just don't turn down someone like that.How many RBs do we need again?
Maybe Bell really is gonna be a one and done and maybe MW doesn't make it. Who knows, but welcome aboard young man!
I'm not worried that we'll have too many RBs. Remember two of the guys are seniors this fall, Tre's comeback is still an unknown (seemingly healthy but how durable will he be when the season actually gets underway?) and Washington's qualification status is touch and go.
And this kid (if he actually stays committed through signing day) also could play multiple positions if need be. The challenge though will be to fend off the $EC bagmen with all the cash at their disposal throughout the season. They'll be coming at him with all their inducements for sure if he has a great senior season.
