Prince is a fromer 3 star RB from St. Louis that committed to ND. They moved him CB last year and that is where he is expected to play at MU.

The key ones still in play...

LB Will Compton

Those links should be free and give the star, state, and position rankings.

I'm not surprised about him leaving the Big Red. Pelini still has a good chance at Compton last I heard.

I'm not convinced that Compton still has a spot at MU. We have around 3 scholarships left and are holding spots for Hall (WR), Williams (DE), and Gooden (S). There is also another 4* WR, Boyd, who is visiting soon and I hope we don't have to turn him away (however, we've already accepted quite a few good WR/TEs in this class, so that may already be a problem.)

Some Husker fans and media people liked Hoch when he was committed to the Big Red, and others did not like him. That's all I can say about Hoch because I haven't seen him on tape or in person.

Always nice to steal a recruit from a rival or from ND. :thumb:

But... but... I thought you loved all your rivals?

:grouphug:

But their recruits don't seem to be helping them much the last couple of years. :banghead:

I remember when he signed with Nebraska last year. I watched my school play against him and Harlan a lot, ****in Harlen.

I remember when his HC in football said he loved his size and, but hes not mean enough.

When they're beating up on the rest of the country :p

Iowa HS football star who committed to Huskers changes to Missouri
BY MIKE DeARMOND
The Kansas City Star
The top-rated player in Iowa -- an offensive lineman committed to Nebraska for more than a year -- has changed his mind and is now committed to Missouri.

"It just came down to a comfort level," Dan Hoch told PowerMizzou.com. "I felt comfortable with the coaches and Missouri just had that right feeling… I just knew Missouri was the best place for me."

Hoch, out of Harlan, Iowa, is rated the No. 20 offensive lineman in the recruiting class of 2008 by Rivals.com.

A four-star recruit by Rivals, originally verballed to Nebraska in December of 2006. But after the firing of Bill Callahan, Hoch took visits to MU, Iowa and Illinois. He said he told MU coach Gary Pinkel of his change Monday night.

Hoch, 6 feet, 6 inches and 302 pounds, is the second high-profile recruit to ditch the Cornhuskers in favor of Missouri. The other was Parkway West quarterback Blaine Gabbert.

I don't care how many recruits we lose, it's still worth it to have Callahan gone. That dumbass would've wasted the guy's talent anyway.

There's also been a lot of talk recently on Cyrus Gray, the #5 overall RB in this class, as he watched the Cotton Bowl and felt Mizzou might be the offense for him. He talked to Will Compton this past weekend and told him to tell Mizzou's coaches to contact him.

If that story is true, it makes me think Compton is leaning Mizzou, otherwise why would he help recruit kids to a school he's not attending?

Pinkel is finishing strong - I love it!

That's interesting. The Scout profile of Hoch lists as one of his strengths a "nasty streak."

He could of suddenly got mean this last year I guess, but he wasn't before. His JR year was my SR year at Creston and he didn't seem too mean in football or Basketball.
