I guess I just don't see this one, Mickey... 

Same situation Suh was in - OR kid who wanted engineering and had to look elsewhere. 

Two issues, IMO: 

1. Seven scholarship running backs, with none leaving this year if they don't want to. Sure, inevitably, someone will. But there are also 3 freshmen already here. 

2. Pipeline to Georgia already exists and is plenty strong with or without Braswell. 10 players on the roster from Georgia, many from top programs in the state.

So where is it at exactly?  Is it right by the stadium? 

Yep, they ripped out the track on the north east corner of the stadium that sat between Memorial and the practice fields.

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

No pictures, but I drive by in a few times a week as I'm running errands. Nothing crazy, but it seems to be going up fast. The building got tall in a hurry, it looks like the majority of the exterior walls are up. 

Next time I go by I'll take a picture or two. 

Rocco Marcelino (Creighton Prep) picked up an offer from Minnesota. Makes 10 Nebraska kids with P5 offers this year.

I would bet 3 of them aren’t on the roster next year. 

Fair, which is why you take one right now at most because even with 3 gone, you still have 4. 

I agree with a take I read this week from I believe Washnut - Edwards is probably the only take right now at RB, we have 7 scholarship RBs with no one graduating this year. Edwards brings some versatility to the room (can play WR, return kicks) where Braswell and Sergio probably just extend the log jam. 

X-posting - I'm looking for a baseball bar in Lincoln, ideally one that pays for MLB TV and has all the games. Any suggestions or know of a place? Thanks in advance!

If weaver wanted to leave I would be all for it 

If he plays anything like the spring game, yes. 

Seems like we're in the top 4. Scrapped Miami visit to add LSU, so they seem the farthest out... 

Gave his visit a 12, "beyond perfect". He thinks he'll take his other visits but has no idea where. 

My assumption is Gunita - efficient recruiting operations. Don't make the same trip twice if you don't need to. Get in early, let everyone who's worthy at the school that you're interested and keep moving. 

I think we tried to play "hard ball" or act bigger/better than we are in previous years... that worked in 2002, Vince and Mickey/Busch are bringing a reality check. 

I will gladly take the OU slow play if it works in our favor. This kid reminds me of a Breece Hall situation, and we f'ed that one up the first time... 

My read is this offer is to have a backup for Wynn if he says no - or to try to put pressure on Wynn?

IMO, stupid bluff. All in on Wynn, we're not in a place to tell him to hurry up and make a decision. 

Ran a 10.53 in the 100 and a 21.58 in the 200 yesterday.... both should be current bests in the state. 

Yes, that Newcombe - Bobby's son. 

Creighton Prep's QB (Dean Donaldson) is also getting some attention. Was at Penn St this past week. 

What a gross, gross group. Iowa? Colorado? Texas? Purdue? 

Watching him in the spring game was... tough. Effort was awful, to be kind. Didn't even take a step forward at the snap, straight up.

Doesn't have anything to do with the six total wins?

Orrrrrrr, it could have to do with the previous coaching staff just never contacting kids for seemingly no reason. 

From Cayden's mouth himself in a Rivals article. Never heard from Held or Austin.

Also has visits set up to Michigan, Oklahoma, Miami and Missouri.  Oregon and Baylor also seem to be in the mix.

 

Looking to announce a decision in July.

Couple more unofficials this spring. OVs to start the summer. Nebraska "might" get his 5th visit. 

We have the worst possible luck

This means we're the best team in the Big Ten right?

 

Well, we're not last!
