Nebraska 2017 DB Signee Elijah Blades Chooses To Go The Junior College Route

This is an odd story, but one where Nebraska gets the shaft in the end.

There had been whispers throughout the summer that Nebraska DB signee Elijah Blades would not be coming to Lincoln. But, many folks held out that he’d be a “partial qualifier” and would be able to come to Lincoln and at least be out for a season and be good with being in Lincoln.

Guess not. Starting with Greg Smith of Hail Varsity, and then with Blades himself talking to Bryan Munson of HOL/Rivals last night, Blades confirmed that he will be at Arizona Western CC in Yuma this coming fall. Arizona Western’s HC, Tom Minnick, stated to Sean Callahan of HOL/Rivals that he’s going to not be placed there by Nebraska. That basically means that the LOI he signed with the Huskers is null & void, giving him the option of any school should he want to leave.

Since the interview was behind a paywall, normally I don’t care to post that. However, Blades himself last night decided to tweet out the interview, after going on twitter wanting to talk to a reporter about the “real story” with his recruitment. For the record, I reached out to Blades to talk, and he didn’t take me up on it.
