500 Mile Radius


Recommended Posts



Out of at least 276 scholarship offers Nebraska extended to high school recruits this year, less than 10 percent — 27 total — went to players within that 500-mile radius. Only one-third of the class, which features 18 commits as of Friday afternoon, comes from inside the 500-mile radius.

 

That’s already the lowest percentage of the last four classes, and depending on how many recruits NU ends up landing, that percentage could drop as low as 25 percent. Only two classes since 1989 have had 500-mile radius recruits comprise less than a quarter of the final total.

 

An increasing focus on California combined with a lack of talent nearby has contributed to this. There were 13 recruits in the Rivals250 from within the 500-mile radius this year. That’s the lowest total since at least 2008, and that number has decreased each of the last three cycles.

I'm not too concerned about this year. It was a low year for production of players in the 500 mile radius. Let's wait until there are high 3, 4 and 5 star players in our radius and we don't go for them. The balance was good this year and MR is trying to establish some inroads to pay off in future years.

And there is already proof that we will go after the in 2018. Already two commits and a bunch more offers in the radius.
