You would be correct as he just committed to Bama lol

Saban done snatched him up. He is now the chaser trying to catch up with Georgia.

Does anybody think that Nebraska maybe should try him out at wide receiver like Georgia was going to?  Food for thought.

Rhule likes the TE's to be versatile. One snap he could be a blocking TE, the next a wide receiver, then with his speed a RB on a jet sweep and yet another time a receiving TE.

So no news about Dominic Kirks?

Come on Carter! Pull the trigger already. I have things to do this afternoon. :-)

Anyone else question Gilbert’s hands? Two drops during the spring game that were on the money. We just reviewed Leach’s quote about accurate/inaccurate QBs, pass catching TEs dropping easy receptions is nearly the equivalent of inaccurate QBs.
 

Hopefully he proves me wrong, but kinda soured on him after the spring game.

He wouldn't be the first young man who found out his passion wasn't football and needed to get his course on an even keel. I hope however he becomes a factor in a much better Husker football year.

Just saying but have you seen the amount of Texas guys in this class? I know you mean high quality guys but right now out of Texas they have 

 

Buford, Gradney, Flynt, Pyle, & Prude with a chance to add a lot more. There is a ton of Texas flavor. 
 

5/12 guys are from Texas. 

 

Yes I check recruiting several times a day and yes as you say there are already a number of Texas kids. I like the thought of making Texas a base for recruiting. I am going to have to hope these coaches can develop the recruits they get and that the coaches are as good at identifying talent as we were sold on. For the last 20 years that has been our hope and we are batting about .150.

These last two commits are head scratchers for me. One kid had an offer from Eastern Illinois and the other to freakin Missouri Southern. Where are all the connections to the Texas kids I read about that Bob Wager was going to funnel to Nebraska?? I realize the coaches are still behind in establishing connections to 2024 kids.  It appears we are the new home for lost and wayward high schoolers.

Even if you’re right, you still take a shot at a guy that is 6’2” and runs a 10.15 100m.

And has nearly a 42" vertical. There was a twitter post I think early on in this post that showed him in the gym and he had placed a pool noodle on the rim of a basketball hoop. He then took a running jump and touched it with the top of his head. He may not be an every down receiver but if we have a Qb who can place a deep ball he would be a match up nightmare or would draw double coverage and open up the underneath routes. If I remember correctly Trey Palmer had a reputation not running clean routes and not having great hands. When our O line gave Casey T enough time to throw and give Trey enough time to get open it worked out ok more than once.

Does anyone remember how fast Taylor Martinez was in HS and how this kid compares to him?

Grant Muessel of Hail Varsity, Martinez reported logging a 4.28-second (!) 40-yard dash, a 3.83-second shuttle drill, a 39” vertical leap and a 10'9” broad jump.

He is a very fast young man. His hip and leg action is impressive however his arm motion lacks fluidity. His hands look closed but I can't tell if he has fists clenched. I'm not sure if he will pursue track at the college level anyway so it may not matter. 

They are always great in field events. This year they had enough strength in the track events to dominate.

I think Josiah may be as huge of a pick up as any of the other three. It looks like he understands rebound angles, boxing out and how to get a shot off inside the paint. 

Evan Cooper must have already scouted every football player in the country all the way down to 8th grade and he is starting on 7th graders now. 

This team has lost every bit of confidence they started the season with. Even one of our best hitters has only had one hit in the last three games. Our hitters are fooled on the slider almost every at bat. Every pitcher we play knows what we can't hit.

Agreed, I think we still see departures at Running back, Defensive back (likely several) and Linebacker. Wouldn't be surprised to see another QB move along either.

You seer, sage, soothsayer you!

Hastings College had a point guard last year who was pretty good. :-) Might be able to get him!

Minnesota beats us two out of three this weekend.

That may be the weirdest half inning I've ever seen. An infield pop fly that three players couldn't find, an outfield pop fly that three different players couldn't find, a foul ball that the first baseman couldn't catch and a hit batter. 

We need to quit scheduling such world class teams midweek. Find some "Sisters of the Poor" or some of the Class C high schools here in the state.

This quote made it seem to me like Jacob was higher on N than Jerod.

I think I turned the names around. Jerod committed to Michigan but Jacob the LB/DE has yet to commit and was in Lincoln on his own to visit. Not sure he eventually comes here but we are in his top 5.

I guess it's nice to say "Hi we see you'. He is an 8th grader. Thats all there is to say.

Getting them to Lincoln is half the battle.

I guess we will find out how much NIL money is allotted to basketball. Maybe we come out a little better with the three Nebraska players.
