Sounds like sour grapes to me.
As somewhat expected but still surprising, Lincoln Christian TE Jared Bubak, the #1 recruit in the state of Nebraska, announced through the Omaha World-Herald Saturday evening that he has decommitted from the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Bubak, who committed to Nebraska back in September of last year, has been flirting with the Arizona State Sun Devils lately this Spring, taking unofficials. It's been common that Arizona State has gone after Nebraska recruiting, with every offer Nebraska seemingly had one-upped by Todd Graham, in some cases the very next day and without any other contact at all.
Bubak told the OWH, who's Jon Nyatawa broke the story on Saturday, that while Nebraska did everything they could, he sees himself a fit better at ASU:
Riley and the NU coaches had told Bubak that they'd be honoring the scholarship offer originally extended by the old staff. He had an unofficial visit to Nebraska in March. He attended a spring practice, went to the Red-White game and was at a Big Red Weekend recruiting event in June.
"I have the upmost respect for all of the coaches at Nebraska. They're all great guys," he said. "But I think by that time, it was just that I think I fit more at Arizona State."
There is a thought that Nebraska losing the Number 1 player in the state after Mike Riley has made locking down local kids a priority is a bad look. At the same time, Nebraska did everything in their control and made it known how Bubak was going to work out.
Go ahead and wish the young man well, hope he enjoys being a Sun Devil, and we plod on. But losing the best player in the state will ruffle some feathers.
