About two months ago, somewhere around that area at least, Nkemdiche made it known to several schools he was still interested even though he was still committed.
In a way you're right; schools haven't lost contact with him. However, it wasn't because the schools didn't give up, per se, it was as much or more of Robert not wanting them to give up.
Around the same time Robert let that be known Dee Liner did the same with some schools around the SE.
At least that's what I'm told.
I'm of the opinion we'll sign around four defensive lineman and RN isn't one of them. I hope Paige qualifies. We've got DeMarcus in and then there's Liner. Possibly A'Shawn Robinson?
