Is it me, or does the attention seem to be going to this kids head?  This picture is just plain weird.

Maybe he’s a 2Pac fan.  There’s a famous pic of him that’s very similar.

True but that shouldn't stop you from trying. If the o-line coach this season develops the o-line or at least have them playing better then he can show the next cycle of recruit's how he improved them or results instead of just telling. Some high profile o-line kids will eventually commit here just have to establish winning. 

Always good to try nowadays and come in second. The transfer portal could bring them back to you later on…

Add Mizzery?

This guy is listed as outside LB. And, Coleman has been discussed there. 

Ok I see what you’re saying now. We were actually recruiting him to play MLB.

We have two higher committed and Lenhart that looks like he's going to be ours.  Two of those are rated higher than this guy and Noonan isn't far behind him.

 

I think we are fine at this position for this class.  Also, Coleman has been discussed as being at this position too.

Lol Coleman at middle linebacker? Umm no 

Add South Carolina please??

I get this and can actually appreciate it and take it at face value.  Yet, Mickey is ranked near the top even before he came to .  Prior, he recruited well and prior he also developed well.  So, ya, I'm waiting to anoint him as a recruiting god ... but ... you would think and hope that you have something there.

For me, maybe I'm reading more into your statement, but we don't really have any data to either to go negative or to speak less of Mickey.   By most all accounts, MJ is going to be a great WR coach for us ... and might even be our next Head Coach.

I love the attitude Mickey has brought here more than anything. I wasn’t trying to put him down in any way. I think if we start winning games you’ll really see his recruiting take off. It’s got be tough getting recruits to believe with what our results have been lately

You’ve got to be kidding. He was the main one who landed Ajay Allen, not to mention Decoldest Crawford, Kaine Williams, & Trey Palmer… plus I’m probably forgetting some others 

You’ve got be kidding. Kaine is related and he couldn’t get him at LSU. Trey former player of his own and I thought he’d be able to get more than just him to transfer N.  De’Coldest, LSU and Brian Kelly didn’t want him. Ajay Allen was brought in by Applewhite, was committed to him at TCU.

The thing is, when you have majority 4* guys, when you lose some to attrition, it's not that big of a hit. We don't have that depth, and having primarily 3* talent isn't going to help stay competitive against the big boys. For the past 15 years I've heard so many Husker fans say "stars don't matter" -- how has that turned out for us? Ask guys like Saban and Dabo and Day and Kirby if stars matter. The only recruiter who has proven he's worth a damn is Mickey Joseph. 

Mickey has 1 commit here so far. I’m waiting to anoint him as a recruiting god.

Considering NIL, this class is extremely lackluster. 

 

After setting up collectives, soliciting donations to prop up recruiting and overhauling the staff, our recruiting class is slightly worse than our average over the last decade and consists of mostly low-to-mid 3* local recruits.

 

To salvage the class, which probably tops out at 16 total players, every commit here on out needs to be a consensus 4* player on 247, something that just isn't going to happen. 

They’ll take 20 players. At least.

Lower on the board than Edwards was, I don't think we take him. IMO

If he wants in they definitely take him. 

Add Boston College?

Uh-oh... here we go

 

I think LSU has noticed that Mickey Joseph is stealing a lot of in-state talent and they are going to try to nip it in the bud. He said LSU was his dream school so take that for what it's worth

He’s good enough to play there as a DB. At DBU 

I grew up in South Florida so yes I agree on him. Maybe his offer isn’t commitable yet, but it’s always good to be that first offer if the kid develops more physically. He’s already a playmaker and a winner, but only plays QB in HS.

LSU has zero interest in him. UL-Lafayette hasn't even offered him, and he's in their backyard.

Technically we are getting a true OT. Prochazka was a freshman so it took a few games of playing well before he got named the starting left tackle but he finally got the start and was a rock against Northwestern. Then he blew out his knee early in the next game against Michigan and was out for the year. Remember.  He was the 11th-best offensive tackle in the country and the No. 73 player overall. 

 

He was one of the reasons they started looking pretty good and then when he went down it was a massive blow to the offensive line. Getting him back is like bringing a starting left tackle with 5 years of eligibility left from the portal.

 

Prochazka at LT and Nouilli at LG is a tandem you can run behind all year and be incredibly successful.

 

 

Prochazka - Nouili - Hixon - Williams - Hunter  Is a much improved starting line.

 

Corcoran - Lutovsky - Piper - Bando - Benhart  That is a very talented 2 deep.

 

You also have Brant Banks that can play tackle giving you options to move guys around, go heavy or rest a guy over the course of the year. And to be ready to go when injuries happen as they always do.

 

Before last year if you told me the backups were the Starting line I would have been thrilled. The talent for the most part is there, it just didn't translate to the field under Austin. Hopefully it will under Raiola. I think it will. 

Teddy burned his redshirt last year. He’s got four years to play three left. You depth chart is off too. Anthony won’t be starting for sure. Corcoran will start somewhere for sure.

We could get both no word on how Washington's visit went. Hopefully we find out sooner rather than later. There was not much word all week on how Wynn felt about his visit.

Speculation that Ohio State might not take a QB in the 2023 class if they get Raiola.

Speculation that Raiola will reclassify to the 23’ class

I think it's pretty clear that he was only talking about Frost and staff.  Otherwise it doesn't make sense to talk about waiting six years to address it.

 

Part of the reason the OL has been an issue is because Riley did a pretty poor job recruiting it.  When Frost got here, there were 11 OL on scholarship.  Three of those guys were recruited by Pelini (one a walk-on originally).  The only guys that Riley recruited that contributed are Jaimes and Farniok.  Sichterman might still.  Three guys in 3/4 years was a large hole to dig out of.

How is Sichterman going to contribute when he retired from football?

Those recruiting classes, in my opinion, were good enough at first. Unfortunately many left the program, but that happens anywhere. I'm unsure if Nebraska has more 4* players leave compared to other programs however. 

 

Nebraska needs to recruit at that level 4 years in a row, which Frost is currently unable to do. Each year removed from that level is another year of rebuilding added to the program. Now, for the 2023 class, they're already falling behind.

They’re not falling behind for the 2023 class. With five commits already and you’re looking at a class of 16-20 this year of freshman, it’s a good start. Plus you’ve got 2-3 more instate offers to kids that if they accept, we’ll gladly take them. That’s basically half of your freshman class right there.

Here's how I see it - Rahmir and Grant will be battling for the RB1 job in the spring, and Yant and Stepp will be fighting for their spot on the roster. In the fall things get a lot more competitive, with Ervin being closer to fully back and the other freshmen showing up. 

 

I am perfectly happy with Rahmir as RB1 if he continues his growth. He made huge strides in running tough last year, and I love what he can do catching the ball. Still waiting for his track speed to consistently show up though, and that's one of 2 areas I think Grant has an advantage. I think you see more speed from Grant (albeit at the Juco level) than I've seen from Rahmir here, even though I suspect if you lined them up for a 100 meter race Johnson would win. The other thing is size - Johnson is still small and got beat up a bit last year. I think either could be the guy, but the size and game speed make me think it'll be Grant. As long as he keeps working and hits it off with Applewhite, I expect Yant to push Stepp out the door.

 

Then in the fall, it'll be an uphill battle to unseat Grant/Rahmir/Yant for significant carries. Injuries happen and they are talented, but it's going to be tough for Allen/E. Johnson to contribute much. Allen has a much better chance for sure, but I don't know that his talent alone is enough to jump past those guys immediately. E. Johnson needs to get a bit bigger. And hopefully Ervin comes on strong, he was a monster in pass pro and I don't think we got a fair look at his running ability - ACLs are tough though, we'll see what he looks like. I could see Ervin/Allen catching up and cracking the rotation by the end of the year, but IMO there's a lot of ground they'll need to make up in fall camp/

 

And with RB who knows, it's a brutal position. All of these guys are talented enough to have success this year. 

Ervin tore his patellar tendon, not his ACL.
