Yep. The comments from Bellevue West's coach about Mickey Joseph stopping by and the comments from the Kansas coach about Bill Busch stopping by told me all I need to know... We know which coaches are responsible for the Midwest.

The problem is I've heard the same from metro head coaches about Husker coaches still on staff...

Saw this on Twitter and related a bit.

Combine the Pitt AND the LSU connections? It's all coming together.

Seemed to work okay for Mo Washington, and we would all take him back (on the field, not off it).

Rivals assessment is that the staff has said they want 6 RBs on the roster, and they were at 5 before the addition of Jackson. Scott and Morrison were both 2020 guys, Jackson replaces them at the same age.

I think the new norm is coaches would rather take someone who performs well at FCS and moves up than the same situation in a JUCO.

Wrong, there is a difference between a medical redshirt (Will Honas) and medical hardship (Tre Bryant). Tre Bryant retired from football and got to keep his scholarship without counting against limits. This is a Tre Bryant situation, not a Will Honas situation.

Mauga-Clements and Damian Jackson both played on special teams in every game. Chris Walker I'll agree with, I think he plans to move on.

Forgive me if this is already started. If I'm reading this right, Stivrins and Sun are the only ones gone next year? Both are finishing Year 6. Caffey and Hames both finished Year 5, so have the option to come back for their 6th with the COVID year. Plus add 2 of the top 6 VB recruits in the country?

Just catching up on the signing day conferences - the coaches reiterated multiple times that they "got the best players in the state", particularly referring to Stenger and Appleget. Kind of offensive to Genatone, imo. Film doesn't lie, and I'd say he more than jumps off the tape.

You must not be looking very hard. All signs point to Busch being named ST coach once Frost figures out his plan for RBs. Busch is on the road recruiting and acting in this role now. He went and got the kicker and punter transfers he wanted.

This is accurate. Outside of Reimer (who is an incredible athlete, the exception to the rule), I can't say I've seen much development of other ILBs from Ruud. His primary recruiting responsibility is Nebraska, particularly in fixing whatever problems we have in Omaha. I've heard it first hand from head coaches in the Omaha metro that he is terrible at that part of his job. Not present at the schools, hasn't built the relationships... that is their view of the world, and it has been consistent.

Are you talking about the Furman #2 kicker, who was the backup to the guy we just put on scholarship? haha Because he takes reps from Charlie and crowds up the room when he already lost the battle to #1 at his FCS school.

Correct, only one on scholarship. But it is the shotgun approach to finding a kicker instead of quality over quantity.

If we trust this: https://www.athletic.net/TrackAndField/Athlete.aspx?AID=14775799 11.2 PR in the 100, 23.16 in the 200. Looks faster with pads on to me, which is what I'll take.

Like this take... but I will never understand how our approach to specialists. This guy + the two Furman kickers - Culp brings us to 8 kickers on the roster. The #3 kicker in the country in 2023 (Kohl's rankings) goes to Millard South and tweets at Nebraska staff often, basically begging for an opportunity. At some point, there aren't enough reps to go around. The staff has shown they have enough of a hard time making a decision on the right specialist, much less if they have 10 options to choose from.

HOL says not to read too much into the delay, "very confident" he's still N.

I got a little Mo Washington vibes watching him, tbh. Very quick, pulls away in the open field, but it is the lateral change of direction for me. This guy loves to bounce it outside and just turn on the jets. Would be very happy if we got this one, I have no idea why that type of film doesn't have this guy swimming in P5 offers.

Calling my shot - Miami with Cristobal

... who is his uncle? Drawing a blank looking at that pic

+1, this critique made no sense

Oh God, "play the walkons" has reached the BB team... JFC.

Frost did go out to Central Carolina this offseason (with UNK's coach, I believe) to study their offense and chat with the staff.
