You guys also have a great shot at Early Doucet, the number 1 WR, a 5 star prospect, and the number 4 player in the nation, but I think LSU winning the national title and the fact that he is from Louisiana is going to hurt your chances at getting him.

It appears I was correct, as according to rivals.com, Early Doucet gave a verbal committment to LSU yesterday. I don't have premium membership, therefore I don't have access to the full story, but it says on Doucet's profile he has committed to LSU and there is a story on his profile intitled "Tiger Doucet Is a LSU Commitment". Here is a link to his player profile on Rivals for those of you that maybe do have premium membership on the site:

Sorry to all of you 'Canes fans, he would have been a very good recruit for you.

we had like a 20% shot at doucet. it's near impossible to recruit a kid from his home school's backyard, especially when his home school wins a national championship. the vast majority of potential out of state recruits don't work out, although it pleases me that few schools are as successful as UM at snagging the cream of the crop.

 

yesterday's announcement was no surprise at all.

 

it isn't even moderately disappointing considering we've got a crapload of 5 and 4 star guys prospects out there.

I wanted to give this thread a Nate *BUMP* as it's getting late in the recruiting season and we see more major prospects commit.

 

Oh and February 4th, 2 weeks from yesterday, is the national letter of intent day, the 1st day players can officially commit to schools in football by signing a letter of intent, so that will be a big day for schools like Miami, as it appears Willie Williams is going to wait until then to announce his committment.

Nebraska will have a top 10 recruiting class next year. Book it!
