2018 ***2018 Recruiting***

[TITANIC VS LUSITANIA]

Do you think we will take a kicker?

Do you think we will take a kicker?

Yes. Drew Brown is a senior and there's no one proven behind him.

100% agree.

 

That guy could end up kicker and punter. Highly rated as both. 2 kicker and 28 punter.

Caleb L. can kick too, I would not mind the walk on kicker from Omaha Bryan though(Not sure if that's the correct school). We have some in state talent at the kicker position and I would not mind getting one of the top kickers in the nation if it meant giving him a scholly.

Do kickers get rated/ stars? Can't find much on him

[Mavric]

Another day, another commit. And switched up a couple positions.

As of now, we'll have 15 open spots which means we can sign 18.

Priority:
OT - Glaring need of depth
CB - Grabbing Bookie is huge. Need a couple more.
RB - With Oz seeming to fall out of favor, we need to hit at this spot this year.

They don't get much from the regular sites. But they get rated by the kicking schools. I have one in his profile.

Yep that's him, I got the schools confused so you are correct. We will give him a walk on, and hopefully not worry about a kicker unless it is a top 10 kicker in the country, Frahm will do for the time being.

Thanks for updating this.

 

So, there seems to be a lot of smoke around Williams and Goodrich. If they commit soon, we would have 9 commits and be sitting at around half of our class. I've seen numbers thrown around of maybe 18-19 recruits in this class. We would be needing the following:

 

QB -1

RB 1

WR - 1-2

TE - 1??

OT - 2

NT - 1??

DE - 1

LB - 2-3

CB - 1??

Safety - 1??

 

 

That's anywhere from 9 - 14 recruits needed.

 

If we keep all of these committed and add a few more, we could have a major part of this class wrapped up before the season starts. When was the last time we had more than half of the class committed before Sept 1?

[ScottyIce]

I still say we should let Jurgens try OLB. Could be a freak there. We have lots of young TE's "in front" of him.

I agree. But everything I've seen from recruiting guys and even Tavita's tweets are still suggesting TE.

 

I don't think it's a bad idea just to bring him in as the sole TE and see what happens from there. I think the progress of the young guys...Stoll, Englehaupt, and Snyder this spring may allow the coaches to do that. Throw in Allen and Rafdal and young got a good young core that allows you to skip this class and take 1-2 next year.

If it's based on point totals not average, then it's a lost cause. We aren't going to hang on with a small class.

[ScottyIce]

For example:

 

 

13 commits - 84.3 average star rating per 247 composite. It's just not a good class at all, maybe for NW, but they have 1 player I would want at Nebraska. Devon O'Rourke. 4 star DE. The rest are ranked middle of road 3 stars.

 

They will likely finish outside of top 35 in avg star rating.
