HuskerNation1 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I know we are all disappointed with the outcome of the All American Bowl, and with only a few weeks left, I think its important for this staff to focus on true positions of need. I honestly feel like Nebraska is in pretty good shape with the QB, WR, and TE positions, so if we did not pick up any additional recruits for these positions, it would not be the end of the world. I do feel there needs to be focus on the following: D-Line: Probably need 2 more commits by NSD O-line: We had a strong class last year but I would like to see at least one more O-lineman taken RB: I am not fully in the known on Bradley and feel like our depth at RB may be a concern, so if a second RB was a good fit, I would be open to taking one more Secondary: I think we have a couple of spots here to fill as well So for me that is about 6 must haves, and if we find a good TE (like Rafdal) or WR we could take 8 more guys. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment

theknife Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Props to Mav for doing most the leg work on this. I've updated it.

With Blades and Lenoir visiting and still being in the running for Johnson leaves me feeling ok at DB. Maybe another offer or two to cover our asses. DE we need to figure something out. Thomas is still taking visits. OT overall is solid. Not at the level it would have been with a commit yesterday, but not FUBAR either. WR isn't the gold covered N Logo we hoped it would be by this time, but it still could turn out nice. If we miss on Lewis, I think we are still in good shape if we can land any of the other kids on the board. Worse comes to worst maybe we end up with Thomas and Robinson as a hybrid TE/WR. TE hopefully we land one of the two kids and maybe both depending on how WR plays out. 1 Quote Link to comment
Wordek Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Anybody else kind of have a bad feeling about the rest of our Cali targets? Struck out way to hard yesterday. Quote Link to comment

Thoughts? We are good at running back, we have solid depth at the position. Devine Ozigbo, Tre Bryant, Mikale Wilbon, Adam Taylor, Jaylin Bradly and we also have some solid walk-ons that could provide depth here. I would say 2-3 wideouts(Three if you count Robinson as a WR) one OT One TE(two if you count Robinson) Two D-Lineman, one end and one tackle Two CBs and a S That equates ten recruits which gives us 25 in the class. Was 22 the number to get us to 85 or was it the number to get us to 88(three over)? If it gets us to 85 we will take all ten, if not we will take less-take away a cornerback and a TE in that scenario. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 What's up with DE. Seems like we need a couple. Yet no targets listed. : Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 What's up with DE. Seems like we need a couple. Yet no targets listed. :Timing of the Porcher decommit a major factor. We had just got in the dead period. Quote Link to comment

And we still have a chance with bigger names. And this is coming from someone most consider on the side of pessimistic. Quote Link to comment
