Once they roll out that talking tow truck from Cars, Bo Pelini's cat, some Valentino's pizza, and their NIT trophy and conference tournament trophy from the '90s, it's probably game, set and match for the Huskers.
Most of the 247 predictions are baloney IMO. I don't think it means very much in the grand scheme of things.
It really varies from player to player, and some of the "experts" clearly have better sources than others. Since 247, like the other sites, is football-driven, and Creighton has a relatively small base of alums and rabid fans, Creighton has no 247 site. I think that it's possible that teams without 247 sites and 247 writers/experts have less accurate predictions and may even be less frequently predicted, as those schools are not represented, so to speak, by someone having solid inside information and a vested interest in pumping rumors about the program.
Guess only time will tell if the Watson predictions are based on good knowledge or are of the dart throwing variety. But, if I were a Huskers fan, I would be somewhat optimistic about Watson and very optimistic about Morrow. Not sure who else of any note they have a good shot to land, but I think they're in good to great shape with those two.
