Q & A: Ross Els talks Husker recruiting heading into big weekend

7 hours ago • By BRIAN CHRISTOPHERSON / Lincoln Journal Star

 

Ross Els could find reasons a recruiting coordinator might panic, even in June.

 

But in the days just before another Big Red Weekend -- a weekend in which at least a dozen recruits in the 2014 class with Husker offers are expected to visit campus -- Els says those reasons don't apply to what Nebraska coaches have going on in this recruiting cycle.

 

"I think you start panicking when you don't have a large number (of commits) and you don't have anybody else that's interested," said Nebraska's second-year coordinator. "We're not in that situation right now."

 

Els will freely admit he'd like to have this class fuller than it is. "If we're going to sign in the low 20s, maybe 20 or 21 this year, I want to have 20 or 21 committed now. And obviously we don't."

 

As it stands, the Huskers enter Big Red Weekend with four pledges, a low figure at the moment when compared with some league counterparts.

Could be a big weekend for us. Hopefully.

Before the season starts, I think we'll see the following:

 

- Jason Hall will de-commit and commit to Texas.

 

- Zack Darlington will commit.

- Freedom Akinmoladum will commit.

- Peyton Newell will commit (although he may wait till later)

- TV Williams will commit.

- Demornay Pierson-El will commit.

 

You will see us go into the season with 7-8 guys committed. That's my prediction at least. :)

I'd add in Mick Stoltenberg as well.

Haha! That is a nice try, but I need to keep them so I can go to some games this fall! :)

Absolutely! Can't believe I left him off. He'll be "N" within the next 2-3 weeks at the latest I would think. I still don't think we have more than 8 guys committed before the season starts. We are in on several big timers who are saying they're going to decide late in the process. i.e. most of the top 50 DB's/Athletes projected to play corner like Raymond Wingo.

I predict the same, plus add DJ Foster. I think he will pull the trigger before school starts.

Hope you're wrong about Hall decommitting (staying optimistic), and Newell will commit no later than Aug 30 (hope it's sooner though).
