Looks like we are about set. Couple more guys out there, but here is my breakdown. I List 3 categories. "Elite Players" (huge gets)," Great Prospects" (many schools were interested and we are grateful to get these types of players in any year to round out a class), Show Me Something (underrated, not many other offers, projects).

Elite Players:

1a. Eric Lee

1b. Avery Anderson

1c. Khalil Davis

1d. Carlos Davis

5. Christian Gaylord

6. Jalin Barnett

7. Stanley Morgan

8. Dedrick Young

Great Prospects

9. Lavon Alston

10. Mo Berry

11. DaiShon Neal

12. Devine Ozigbo

13. Aaron Williams

14. Matt Snyder

Exceptions- Michael Decker and Jordan Ober. Always take the top NE talent, and if the staff decides they need to offer a specialist, by all means. Decker may have got big offers if not for being in state and shutting it down right away.

Show Me Something

17. Willie Sykes

18. Alex Davis

19. Tyrin Fergueson

20. Antonio Reed

The last 4 listed could be as good or better than any of them. You never know. Paulu goes in at about #10 when he commits today. Great class and 4 wildcards imo.

Are the coaches still in home for a visit tonight? I read that a few days ago. It sounded crazy that he is leaving today and they will be at his house the same day. But if his time table stands up, no way he could pick anyone but us right?

No way we accept these 2 commitments this morning if we don't have room for the other 4 "elite" visiting prospects this weekend. Mainly Paulu and Alston.

Well, now he isn't on their commit list. A writer leaked some info?

Rivals shows him as a commit at of 1/30. No write up or thread, but he is on their commit list for Nebraska.

Riley visited 2 DE's in Florida today. This dude and Ruben Jones. Jones decommits and Ford commits to Rutgers. He must be saying you need to be N or our offer is pulled to focus on other players.

Their offers are the most important. You can't see that? Everything else is subjective. He has a good first step.. He is built like an ox.. Ect. Offers are concrete, the better the offers the better the player in my opinion. I think it should be that way. I disagree completely with what you said. That's not the only part in ranking a kid, obviously there are a lot to it, but it should weigh heavily.

What time is he deciding?

 

 

 

 

so that means updated numbers are

We are at 84/85 including Walton, Willis and singleton

11 seniors 10 if Turner comes back

Minus

Gregory

Willis

Miller

Singleton

Plus

Moss

 

Wildcard is Lorenzo Stewart, anyone heard his status? One of the few guys we have "placed" at a juco

 

Right now 2015 class looks like a minimum of 14 max of????

I'd say you can forget about Stewart. Who is the last guy that failed to make grades, went to JUCO, and then actually made it to NU?

When was the last time our coaches placed a HS in IWCC? Stewart will be N as long as the coaches stay in contact. However, he will not be part of this class. The plan was to RS at IWCC then play 1 yr, leaving 3 yrs to play at Nebraska. He still has one year to go at IWCC.

1 year prior with Tra'vell Dixon. I can't think of any others off the top of my head, there was a TE from Texas, maybe Harper or something, about 4 years ago. That's what they always call it when someone doesn't make grades and has to go to JUCO - "being place by the coaching staff at a JUCO." The coaches basically recommend a place they are familiar with, a relationship with the coaches, basically somewhere to make it easier to follow them. I'd say it nearly never happens that this said recruit goes back to the original committed school. Same this Stewart. Nothing out of the ordinary was offered to this kid. "Good luck, we will watch you, but we can probably get someone better and he will have 2 more years than you do." He's gone, he's not going to get offered again.

Harper was a juco recruit and not "placed" by NU. Dixon went the Juco route but again, wasn't "placed" by NU. Scenario, staff remains in place and stewart becomes a juco all-american. You're telling us the staff won't offer him despite being placed there, it's in NU's backyard and he once was comitted to NU?

 

Yes, they were placed, google any old article on Dixon - there was a Journal Star one saying the coaches were helping him find a school. Its just the terminology they use. If they don't help them find a JUCO then they look like punks. Literally nothing was different with Stewart. Maybe if he became an all american - but at that point he would probably get an offer from a Big 12 school back home and not come here.

What about Singleton?

 

You're right. He's not on our list on Rivals for some reason.

 

Rivals doesn't go back and put transfer players in a particular year's list of commits.

 

Robin Washut ‏@RobinWashut 14m14 minutes ago

Miles listed potential “big” lineup of:

5-Hammond/Abraham,

4-Pitchford,

3-Shields,

2-Petteway,

1-Webster.

Size/length = matchup problems.

 

That should be the lineup. That is all of their natural positions. This is where Leslie Smith will really hurt, hopefully he can be back by January. Because the 5 should say Smith/Abraham.

 

Great get for us!! Another great recruit out of Illinois. Nice! We've gotten a bunch of high quality guys out of Illinois in the past couple years.

 

 

 

btw, I live in Illinois.

Westerkamp, Valentine, Cooper, Mikale Wilbon, Matt Finnin, Tanner Farmer and now Brokop. Illinois has been very good to us!

 

And Spencer Tears. Er, wait..

Andrew White is a big dude. Tarin Smith also looks well put together for an 18 year old. That tall dude is def over 7 foot.

The Courtyard, Hilton Garden Inn, Embassy and Holiday Inn are all about as close as it gets. You might need to just book whatever you can get at this point now. I doubt any have any openings on game days. Buzzard Billy's in the Haymarket is a cool place with Cajan food, rare for Lincoln.

 

This is big news. It also, in effect, should either open up a new scholarship (after this upcoming season is over), or Webster will effectively move to the 2. Welcome, Glynn. Go get Ed.

I don't think Watson is a 30 minute a game guy as a freshmen.

 

I don't know if you can say that at this point, he easily could be. However, we wont carry 4 PGs next year.

@Corey_Bender: Mike Arnold, an OL out of Winter Haven (Fla.) HS, has five schools sticking out (STORY) http://t.co/QUJEQGXiAu

@JoshHarveyScout @AnnaHScout

So, what does the link say? Who are they?

 

Robin Washut ‏@RobinWashut 1h

2015 PG Glynn Watson is officially visiting #Nebrasketball this weekend, and his decision could soon follow... ($) https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1674134 …

 

Who are his final 3? I'd Have to assume NU, Creighton and Tennessee or West Virginia? Man, this would be a perfect storm to entice Morrow.

No real news. We're still after him.

NU vs Maryland?

He was a JUCO transfer in the 2013 class. Looks like he played a total of 34 minutes all last season and scored just a handfull of buckets. This was also the guy that went missing for 2 days last month and police found him "safe and healthy and cleared from a hospital." I guess he is tall, and we don't want Pichford to play the 4... His next best offer was Marshal or Florida Atlantic.
