T-Husker

I've read some articles saying that some coaches think McMullen should put on weight and move to the inside in a 4-3 but stay an end in a 3-4. It sounds like he has the ability to do either, but I'm guessing he stays on the outside.

Isn't Sutton the greyshirt a TE as well? That would mean 3 TE's in an already small class? It's a need but that makes me a little nervous numbers wise.

If Charles Jackson indeed does not make grades, then I hope we can snag this dude. If he does make grades, the scholly number crunch would worry me a little bit.

This is stellar news!

I'm officially impressed.

f#*k i dont get it... just take care of your sh#t..... I feel bad for these kids...until I remember how easy high school was. Moderate effort and you should be able to get a 3.0. Now if its ACT stuff then I can understand, but when it's just normal style grades then I do believe it boils down to effort. How bad do you want it boys?

Lets just dream for a moment that this #6 Rivals RB is coming in with likes of Heard, Green, and Ameer. That's a lot of incoming talent and I would have a good feeling that one of them is going to just explode during his time here.

I wonder what those other factors are. Any word what could possibly be at play here? Curious...

You're right Sheep. We would have missed out on Carnes. We lucked out hardcore.

That sounds great. I wonder if he's close with any of the other Fort Scott'ers.

Many of the recruiting beatniks had been saying for the last couple of years that Georgia may be overtaking Cailfornia as the state that pumps out the third best quality talent. I am all in favor of raiding the SEC states, however the success of this probably be minimum as a lot of those kids seldom leave that area. BUT continued success on the field will breed large rewards on the recruiting trail. I think you also need to be picky if your nebraska and going into SEC country. because of character and academic issues. Just stop posting. While you're at it, retake fourth grade grammar. Is this towards me? I was rushing through this comment and failed to hit the comma key. I noticed it but didn't care to edit it because its just a blog and the message is rather obvious. Now I do realize there was a poster who didn't make any sense at all and that might be the guy you are referring to. Still, you managed to reply to mine. I'm pretty sure that was directed at the other dude. If so then that was just stupid if directed at your comment. The no sense poster did say he was Texas right? I think that pretty much wraps it up.

Good to hear that Cotton is breaking that perception that he isn't much of a recruiter. Sounds like this kid is quite the fan. Chance we snag him after the spring game? Any word on a timetable?

Agreed irule, JP is working his magic with this one. He isn't looking to commit anytime soon, but we will be in his top group until he does. That's great news!

I thought it was interesting that 247 mentioned us with Green-Beckham. I know it's a pipe dream but still pretty cool. Andrus would be such a great get!

The list is quite long. Some is listed but some info comes from posters here that have inside knowledge. Not all of this is totally confirmed but it is amazing the names that are on both schools radars. Anthony Sarao LB committed to USC Cyrus Hobbi OL committed to USC Greg Townsend Jr committed to USC DE or DT not sure Joseph Carter DT JUCO committed to NU but was targeted heavily by USC Damien Stafford DB JUCO committed to NU but was targeted heavily by USC Aaron Green RB not listed but rumored here as dual target NU commit Christian Heyward DT USC commit and NU target Kent Turene LB USC lock but late target of NU and committed to UGA Max Wittek QB committed early to USC but NU target too Cody Kessler QB committed early to USC but NU target too Jalen Grimble DE USC lean but NU target and signed with Miami Tre Madden LB USC commit Charles Jackson DB NU commit but stated here to be USC target after commitment Tyler Moore NU commit but state here that USC wanted him too Reeves was also supposedly contacted by USC.

Top 10-12 program though so probably not UCLA even tho Neuheisel is a little weasel. Man this is interesting stuff! Why would TCU fans be happy if it is Oregon? Based off of that evidence you would have to think Boise St. They are such a feel good story though that I have to admit I would be pretty disappointed by that. Also their recruiting classes aren't anything to write home about there. Their lists on rivals are littered with 2* and 3* players. I counted one 4* (Tyrone Crawford in 2010) in the last five years. What about Utah?

Wowza. What's the mailman look like cause he doesn't seem to fit?

a. can you think of a better time of year for such a transition? b. are you aware of the reasons for the delay and whether they outweigh any hypothetical damage to the minimal level of recruiting that is done in the two weeks following signing day? i know it is the prerogative of the internet to find every molehill available for upsizing, but this is a little ridiculous. This post right here is a classic example of this board. Someone asking a simple question that they are uncertain about, then some "wannabe guru" comes in and is a smartass. I agree, but in reality, every other board I go to is MUCH worse. This is a great board and I really appreciate everyone being civil 99% of the time. Things got a little dicey at the end of the season and during our recruiting decommitment period. People got really snappy at each other, but this is still by far the best board I've ever been on. Something about Husker fans makes them not able to stay mad at each other for long.

Alright! I hope Bo's in-home sold us. His dad loved NU so maybe that will help sway him as well!

i'm not aware of anyone that doesn't think recruiting is important. there is certainly a valid argument to be had for which is MORE important, coaching or recruiting, and it's also open for debate how well the recruiting agencies do at determining which kids can help you win games; but anyone that doesn't think we need to recruit talented kids to win games isn't playing with a full deck of cards. i don't blame bo for not liking recruiting, but i think it's clear that he and his staff treat it as an important part of their jobs. whether or not there's been problems along the way(or perhaps just message board panics), and whether or not there are some coaches that work harder at it than others (which is no doubt the case on all staffs), we are getting positive results in recruiting. The best story was Pierce saying no on recrutiing Jameel Holloway, who went to Boomer, and Barry Switzer's philosophy with recruiting "outlaws". Read the story if you haven't. It gets the dancing banana/corncob cause it is that good. My fave part too! We shall dance together. No homo tho.

I can't believe we are still in this. Looks like with Peat and Grimble, we are coming upon an interesting conclusion to 2011 recruiting. FUN!!!

Well I'll be here awaiting your decision Mr. Peat. I kind of like that he's doing it at his elementary school. The kiddos are going to think it's so cool no matter what he chooses. He's pry the coolest dude in town. Who knows, we might get more future superstars in fifteen years if he chooses us.

Nice!

Oh I know the concerns. But why do we need multiple threads saying the same exact things? I mean Crewe posted the same exact long post in two of them. Necessary? I don't think so. We got it the first time.

Wow that's like 4 threads in the recruiting forum saying the sky is falling. Can we calm down just a bit bros and bras? Or at least keep it all in one thread?
