Stumpy1 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 My son was ready for prom at 2:30 last week and it didnt start till 6:30. They have so much going on before prom actually starts. They had pictures at his date's house, at our house and before prom for the school. They also tour and have a small get together at the Old Folks Home before prom. 3 Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The spring game is a big deal to us fans, and a huge recruiting strength for us, but is it really that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things? It’s another practice, which both Burke recruits have been to. I agree that it would have been a positive if they both made it to the scrimmage, but I don’t really view it as a negative that they missed. A number of recruits who will eventually commit to us didn’t make it to the spring game. 1 Quote Link to comment

It gives them a reason to visit us early to see what a sold out spring game looks like and can put us on their radar for an official visit down the road. Pretty sure Hickman and Henrich are well aware of what we have to offer as far as fan support goes. Quote Link to comment

What does it say to the players from far away that the 2 highest players from the state of Nebraska didn’t show up? Quote Link to comment

I dont have any information on this, but I would be surprised if the out of state players (Florida, Georgia, Texas type kids) have any idea who Hickman and Henrich are if they are not there. 3 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Eh, I don't think it's much of a deal with these guys. I'd be a lot more disappointed if it was guys who we haven't had a lot of personal contact with. They've been here before. They'll be back. We visit their school about every week we can. It wasn't the greatest day to be there - and it was supposed to be worse than it was - and they had other stuff going on. We have work to do. But I don't think having them here this past Saturday means much of anything or will make-or-break their recruitment. 1 Quote Link to comment

I heard from a guy that has a couple fish that the only thing the kids were talking about was that H & H weren't there. I also heard that those fish died this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment

Popular Post Warrior10 Posted April 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2018 This is a summary from someone who attended a event in Columbus last night SF was speaking at: "Funny story, Coach Frost called Coach Tom into a practice a week and a half ago. He told Coach Tom, "I need you to come to practice and help me get this Nebraska kid for next season, we have to have him come here. He is my number one guy for next season". Awesome to hear that his number one kid is a Neb boy. The best part of this story is, Coach Tom said to Coach Frost, " I don't know why you want me to come and help, you were my number one kid and I couldn't get you over Stanford." I would assume it's Henrich. 11 Quote Link to comment

Is it a big deal if Frost misses out on his #1 guy in 2019? 1 Quote Link to comment
