I’m pleasantly surprised how Malachi has been performing at these camps. It seems more and more plausible that Coleman could get on the field at least a little bit year one.

Interesting.. Looking through the rest of the post the rest of the jerseys from the other schools actually look legit. And they are all Adidas uniforms so it would seem plausible that he had some sort of connection to Adidas. Not sure how I feel about our jersey but all of the others are ok. Also just seen the guy has 18k followers…

My feeling based on what I've read (and my gut) is that he can come in and be every bit as good as Caleb Tannor was and if we're lucky, maybe better. But I don't expect him to be a complete bust like Tyreke Johnson.

I don't think we need to shy away from tall guys just because all the tall lineman we've recruited have been terrible because, well, all of the lineman we have recruited have looked terrible. The last staff just seemed to make height a prerequisite for an offer and I don't think that needs to be the case either. Our best lineman in the last 5 years was Cam Jurgens who is 6'3.

They basically will say "hey, it's going to be tough for you to see the field here, we can try and help you get somewhere to play more or if you want to stay we can get you on a medical scholarship and you can continue going to school." From what I understand it's pretty easy for them to do. Also in the new world of NIL I'd think that's going to be used as well. Take a guy like Alvano for example. We have three specialists on scholarship which would almost never happen, but the coaches chose to honor his offer because he was an in state kid (and obviously very talented). But they could maybe take Bleekrode of scholarship and try and make sure he gets some extra NIL money to make up for it. I wouldn't be surprised if we see something along those lines with a few guys.

That's really tough when you're competing with a bunch NFL guys in front of you. It sounds like both he and Borders are going to be good additions to the locker room as well as the on the field.

He decommitted in August, so you'd think he still would have been taking some officials this fall. Either way I'm guessing he'll be N. I know a lot of the guys we are bringing in are pretty raw but man this staff sure did a great job of filling a pretty empty room.

Does he have academic concerns or what is the catch with this guy? Shows all the offers in the world but Kentucky was his only official visit.

N

He was just a walk-on that was promised a scholarship after two years. Just a verbal agreement. Will be interesting to see if that still holds with a new staff in town but I'm guessing not..

Jacob Hood, OT from Georgia, may be a guy to watch.

Lauenstein officially gone as rumored.

We'll need it again this spring after Rhule has to cut 10 guys.

Does that include Betts as well?

It has to be nearing the upper 90's...

Outstanding.

Wow me either. I think this is big for the WR room. He looked good before having his falling out with the previous staff.

Gilbert is a first round talent if he can put it together mentally.

His recruitment was always about NIL, pretty easy to figure out what happened.

Or maybe it was about Rouse…

Ope. Guess it was actually false after all. I guess we’ll have to wait a little longer to see if he can recruit someone that wasn’t born a Husker fan.

Glenn Schumann throwing Rhule a bone.

Although I do understand what you are saying, if he has a real desire to play they will make his academic path easy to navigate I’m sure. He’ll be signed of for easy classes, give him tutors, etc. As long as he’s willing to put in a moderate amount of effort they’ll get him eligible. They did it before I don’t see why they can’t do it again.

Good call.

Our biggest position of need, leave no stone unturned. Would be a hell of a story if he could turn it around.
