Caliborn72 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I definitely understand that, but the Colorado QB didn’t strike me as anything special. 247 graded him as an 84, which is on the low end of the 3-stars. It’s certainly possible that he’s much better than that. I also get that it can be hard for a coach to completely bench a senior QB like that for a younger one at the high school level. Anyway, I’m not trying to say Luke would be a terrible take or anything, especially if he’s being recruited as an athlete who could potentially be our starting QB. He seems to have very good athleticism and can be a playmaker. If he has a big senior year, he could make it clear that he’s going to be a QB at the next level and then I’ll feel silly for having any doubts. Quote Link to comment

I'm just curious how many offers there will be before the coaching staff feels they are caught up in 2019 recruiting. 338 sounded, to me, like they should be there. I guess not. Sure the offers are out now, but they are still catching up on building relationships with their identified targets. Other teams locked in their board well before NU and could focus on the top recruits for a longer period of time. Yes there are a few targets I am sure the NU staff have been working on for awhile, but there are many more they had to evaluate first to determine which ones they should expend their human capital on. Those are the ones they are playing catch up on. Just look at how many recruits they offered already had multiple offers prior. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) 16 seniors this year plus over-sign by 3 would be 19. Several reports that the staff is planning on 23-25 again. Priority: QB - Frost says one every year but it might be two this year OT - A continued trouble spot but we'll see what the new guys can do DT - Need to re-stock CB - We'll have to see how the 2018 guys slot in but we don't have a lot of young ones Current Scholarships/Commits QB - 1-2 - Michael Johnson, John Rhys Plumlee, Terrance Gipson, Luke McCaffrey, Jayden Daniels RB - 2-3 - THOMAS GRAYSON, RAHMIR JOHNSON, Ronald Thompkins, Tyler Goodson WR - 3-4 - Kyren Williams, Marcus Washington, Cameron Coleman, Bryce Childress, Mycah Pittman, Kyle Ford, Marlyn Johnson, Jameson Williams TE - 1 - Chris Hickman OT - 2-3 - Jayme Simmons, Jack Buford, Jaelin Humphries, Taylor Miterko OG/C - 1-2 - McKade Mettauer, William Putnam, Danielson Ike NT - 1-2 - JUCO Tony Fair, Ben Smiley, Gio Paez DE - 2 - ETHAN PIPER, Ty Robinson, Mosai Newsom, Stephon Wright LB - 3 - GARRETT NELSON, Nick Henrich, Makobe Dean, Spencer Lytle, Ge'mon Eaford, JUCO Jermaine Johnson, Maninoa Tufono, Peni Naulu CB - 2-3 - Javin Wright, Isaiah Essissima, Tiawan Mullen S - 1-2 - Jalani Williams, Jalyn Phillips, Quinton Newsome, Cornelius Nunn ATH - GARRETT SNODGRASS, Marquis Wilson Edited May 24, 2018 by Mavric Updated 1 Quote Link to comment

BIG ERN Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Darrin Kirkland, ILB from TN was looking to be a grad transfer but now may stay with the program. Would be a good pickup for a team needing LBs https://247sports.com/Player/Darrin-Kirkland-Jr-32396 Quote Link to comment

However, Juco's and HS recruits are a different story. Quote Link to comment

We have 1 3 year starter returning, 1 JUCO that transferred in for the spring, and 2 underclassmen that haven't seen much game action and they are all learning a new system and only have a spring (15 practices) head start. I don't know of many situations at other colleges that could be much better than that. 3 Quote Link to comment
