How did Owa's in home visits go?

[karlhungis]

I am under the impression thatboth the Ducks and the Huskers had their in home with him this week. Does anyone know how they went? Any idea when he plans on announcing?

[GoDucksIn09]

Umm i thought he had in home visits with UCLA and us.. or Nebraska.. where did the fuskies come in? I havent heard how they went but since am not an insider that is of no surprise.

[karlhungis]

Huskers, not Huskies

LOl omg my bad i misread that... sorry. I bout had cardiac arrest thinking of him going to the fuskies.

Owa sais that The visit went well, his mom asked a lot of academic questions, and she was happy with the answers. He did say that Overall they liked Oregon, but that UCLA had them beat in the academics department and that Nebraska had them beat in overall defense (whatever that means, maybe he isn't an Allow-a-lot-y fan) anyways the point is that Oregon is totally in it, and the fact that we are close to home will play a big role.

That's a pretty good summation MerDuck from what I've heard too. All the in-homes are done, unless they decide to open it up to Oregon St which some are speculating could happen, but I doubt it. I could really see this going to any of the 3 schools. I just hope he lets the coaches know soon so we don't have to wait until signing day.

Yeah definitely. Mostly so we can go all out for King.

I though Nebraska's final visit was today...it may have already happened, I think what we really need to hope is that Nebraska doesn't convince Owa's mom that distance isn't an issue. If she is concerned that distance from home will be a problem than I think he picks Oregon, because of the final home visit by Chip and the impression he made on her about academics, I think UCLA is all but out of the race, but if Nebraska convinces her that Distance isn't an issue, than I think she says go wherever you want son...and I fear he picks Nebraska over Oregon because of the defensive fit.

Chatting with my in-laws this morning, who are devoted Nebraska fans, they reported that Husker fans have heard that Owa's mother approved her son attending school in Lincoln during Nebraska's home visit last night. The distance was purportedly "not a problem" for her. I hope my in-laws are wrong....

Just because she would let him go further, doesn't mean she wouldn't prefer him to stay close.

I should've known better than to be hopeful about any of these DL's. Man I really wanted Owa plus one of King, Heimuli, or Werner. From this point forward I'm assuming we get none and if we get any I'll be happy.

[goducks]

Other than football, what does Nebraska have going for it? I have never had the desire to go there, anyone able to enlighten me?

[oreducks77]

Another year of "We'll get good D-linemen next year".... ugh

[freedjr]

I read somewhere this morning, forgot where, that his mom said distance was an issue. Good, but of course take it for what it's worth.

Give me a break... We still have 4 big time prospects left on the board, and none of them have said they will not go to Oregon. Take a wait and see approach. We did alright with the D-linemen we had this year. (BTW: Kenny Rowe led all pac 10 players in sacks)
