NW Iowa is a pretty rough 1-2... Rutgers might be the easiest of the 3 if we were to get there lol. 

We probably want Minnesota to win, would put us up against Penn St first round with a potential Rutgers match-up second. 

Lol look at us, talking about winning multiple tourney games. 

Meltdown coming to the thread in 3... 2....

Fong bomb 6/10 to N 

Interesting, given the video above he states he's not committing until December signing day. Maybe Fong just likes where we sit! 

Said in the video most of his offers are for OLB. We like him at WR but have talked about both, he's looking forward to watching both Mickey Joseph and Mike Dawson coach at practice this weekend.

Hey I was wondering how you guys would feel if we had a general conversation thread in each of the recruiting years.... I personally don't like having conversations like the one we are having in a prospect thread because every time we post I think there is new information on the prospect.  Food for thought. 

You mean like this? 

It exists, just depends if people keep themselves honest.  

Stat from Rivals - as a freshman in the heavy-weight class... 

Terry went 53-0 with 45 wins by pin. 

That's freaking nuts. 

^ Someone just forced Mickey Joseph's hand... 

Lolololol okay sorry, was just having some fun. Back to business everybody. 

We are hands down the worst men's athletic department in Division 1

We have 9 true seniors who cannot return after 2022. Everyone else can stay if they wish.

That will make incoming class sizes really small, in a hurry. 

Give me the twins from UNT and Mathis from TCU.

The talent level of what we recruited out of high school in 2022 and so far in 2023 is flat out not good. So just because this kid is from Nebraska doesn't mean he warrants an offer.

 

With that being said, the QB we got was recruited to ride the bench and bolster depth anyway, I suppose we could've placated fans by using the roster spot on a local kid.

 

 

Terrible take lol. "the QB we got was recruited to ride the bench", not even worth engaging with stuff like that. 

We have not been in contact really at all. Has not spoken to Frost since the season ended or any of the new staff, including Whipple, since they started.

Rumors went around Omaha a bit that the coaches didn't have a great opinion of Flores after an unofficial visit in the fall. Flores did come back in January for a visit, and is racking up offers from all over, so Frost will get pressure to offer the kid. 

Character or talent? 

Forget where I saw this... Maybe it was Callahan. Anyways, the difference was summed up in man assignment vs zone assignment. 

Austin and previous staff were notorious for zone schemes, where OL blocked to a location and only hit the man/picked up the blitz in that spot/gap. By nature, this is more reactionary - "wait to see who comes into my zone".

Raiola is emphasizing a more man to man approach - fire off the ball to the second level and hit the MLB, for example. That is how I heard the main difference explained, FWIW.  

^ and plan to do the same at the Lincoln Coaches Association meeting this week. Love it. 

Not sure why it took them 5 years to think that was a good idea, but... we're doing it now, so, can't complain.

You may have misunderstood the first part.  If Jurgens felt he would go undrafted, then he would be at Spring practice for the Huskers. 

I agree that I bet Jurgens thinks that. He made a mistake leaving, IMO. 

Highly doubt Toure or Jurgens get drafted. Domann and CTB get drafted higher than you have them, IMO.

Is he not on scholarship?  Both the Rivals and OWH scholarship charts show him.  According to his bio, he's been on scholarship since prior to the 2020 season.

 

If he goes back to a walk-on then great.

Jackson was on a yearly scholarship, coaches could choose not to renew it - which would probably be fine given NIL opportunities and the GI Bill that he could take advantage of (per the guys at Rivals).

Just a hunch but I think Tyreke Johnson is another guy I would watch. 
 

Tate Wildeman as well 

For me it's always hard to say guys who already transferred in once are going to transfer out. They're screwed, right? In terms of playing time and having to sit out.

Yeah, I think we lose at least one from each of those groups. I'd love to see them all succeed here but that's just not how the numbers and competition work. Some of theose offensive guys could take a leap with new coaches, but I'd still bet on the guys who have been ahead of them on the depth chart and the handpicked recruits of the new coaches. Wouldn't be shocked if multiple DBs left, but hard to say who until the depth chart shakes out. 

I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Javin Wright or Braxton Clark (assuming he doesn't win a job) decide to move on. 

My top transfer targets I'm watching after spring: 

• Yant/Stepp (someone has to leave in that room) 
• At least one of Will Nixon/Shawn Hardy/Latrell Neville/Kamonte Grimes
• Alex Conn/Michael Lynn (OL depth would hurt, but they're not contributing)
• Probably lose 1 of the ILBs (9 guys for 2 spots right now)
• Tamon Lynum

So, by my count, we have 16 HS commits and 12 transfers.  If we get Allen and Bonner, the would be 18 HS and 12 Transfers.

 

Not a bad group from where we were sitting at the beginning of the season.

Need to go take a look at @Mavric's scholarship chart he maintains. I'd love to know just how many we're going to have to process/get to walk-on for a semester to get back down...

Agreed. Mo had better top end speed but Allen looks to be better in the short area. He's better put together as well.

+1, Allen looks to lack some top end speed to put it away after he breaks out. That, or he's just even more cocky than he already appears and he runs slow on purpose lol. Half of his runs are him turning around at the 30 and starting to slow down. 

Hey, I'll take some RB confidence.
