QMany Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Obvious effort being put into DL recruiting on Twitter. Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Just makes me sick to see Iowa in the Top 10 for 2017 already with a 5 star D LinemanHe's a legacy, and his father is still very connected to the program still. We will be ranked ahead of them, again. Yep Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Big, Fat Recruiting Update: The right kind of coup By Sam McKewon / World-Herald Staff Writer POSTED: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2016 <snip> So early in the cycle, here are some things to watch closely: >> Many more early offers. ... >> A growing gameplan in terms of satellite camps.... >> A heavy emphasis on five dates on the calendar. ... >> The quarterback situation resolved by end of spring?... >> The Calabasas crew. Nebraska already has one Calabasas player in 2016 signee Marquel Dismuke. NU is seemingly in the lead for Johnson, whose dad, Keyshawn Johnson, Sr., played for Riley, and has visited Nebraska several times and seems to love the place. Johnson is a good prospect, but his buddy, Holmes, is a five-star stud who can jump out of the gym. LINK Sam provides an overview of spring recruiting efforts. He discusses each of the bulleted items. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I won't list too many targets for now because I like to keep that to guys who are seriously considering Nebraska and it's hard to know much yet. Once guys start showing up for Jr. Days and such we'll know more. Mainly trying to get a look at which positions are a priority and how many we're looking at for each.We have 21 seniors plus can over-sign by 3 so we should be looking at at least 24.Priority:OT - There will only be five scholarship OTs left after this year and two will be seniors.DT - Only four left after this year. Behind by not taking one last year. For sure need two.WR - Losing three and only have six left - none over 6' tall. Need a couple big targetsQB - Need to keep adding depthDE - Numbers aren't bad but really need some game-changersTE - Only three after this year but at least they're young.-----------------------------------------QB - 1 - Tristan Gebbia, Jack CoanRB - 1 -WR - 3-4 - Keyshawn Johnson Jr., Jaevon McQuittyTE - 2-3 - Austin AllenOT - 2-3 - Mark Kallenberger, Alan AliOG/C - 1-2 -DT - 2-3 -DE - 1-2 - Jonathan Van DiestLB - 2-3 - Avery RobertsCB - 1-2 - Darnay Holmes, Jamarri Jackson, Djimon ColbertS - 1-2 - ATH - 1-2 - Roshauud Paul Edited March 2, 2016 by Mavric Added Paul Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Mav you listed 1-2 CB's but I love all 3 of those prospects- any chance we take all 3 and move one to Safety/Nickel? 1 Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Mav you listed 1-2 CB's but I love all 3 of those prospects- any chance we take all 3 and move one to Safety/Nickel? Lets just start with getting at least one. Holmes #1. If we get one of the others its a boom. We'll take all 3 if they want to come and figure out who/where they play later. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 We have 21 seniors plus can over-sign by 3 so we should be looking at at least 24. And, with the normal attrition that happens every year, I would expect we should be able to take 27-28 next year. Quote Link to comment

And, with the normal attrition that happens every year, I would expect we should be able to take 27-28 next year. Meaning top ~15 on quantity alone. Then you add the quality... THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD f'ing YEAR Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I go on vacation for a week and come back and there are 1000 (approximately) new offers. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Mav you listed 1-2 CB's but I love all 3 of those prospects- any chance we take all 3 and move one to Safety/Nickel? Yeah, I noticed that as well. I put 1-2 because we have three guys from the 2016 class that are starting out at CB plus not losing any. But we'll have three senior CBs in 2017 so taking three isn't out of the question if they're top shelf guys. Quote Link to comment

B.B. Hemingway Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 HAhahahahahahaha, this new staff is ON POINT with their twitter game. "2 Phones" is a very popular new rap song going around. I follow the members of support staffers from a handful of the elite programs in the country, and Nebraska's is by far the most active, and creative in what they do..... And it matters....

ScottyIce Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Maybe this has been covered elsewhere, but.... Alex Parrella is a 6'4" 215 LB/TE that is uncommited. Could he walk-on without a scholarship? My understanding is he could be a walk-on as long as he doesn't see the field...Once he plays, he would have to be considered on scholarship. Correct or not? http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4454764/alex-parrella Quote Link to comment
