    Using the class calculator I don't see us making much movement above #18 without some re-ranking of other commits honestly I'm surprised Fidone isn't even higher but I'll take the #1 TE ranking anyday.

     

    Fair. Still, even at #20, we're closer to the 12 than 29. Scott just making sure we hit the bet ;)

    Enrolling in January

    Mav, do you have a list anywhere of those who have planned to do this? Sounds like the large majority of them are. 

     

    Hell, life sucks at home, might as well suck in Lincoln with Duval training you. :D

    Every year, going back to Bo, I've bring up our recruiting (or lack thereof) and every year I get chewed out and told that our classes are "just fine" and that "stars don't matter." I thought kids would come to play for Frost following his success at UCF but it just hasn't happened. Maybe it's just true that no good players want to come play in the middle of nowhere? 

    Hello sir, I haven't seen you around the recruiting forum much, but it's good to have you. 

     

    Nebraska has had the top class in the B1G West in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and has the top class now for 2020. No, we don't pull the 5 *'s that Ohio St does... no one in the country outside of Alabama and Clemson do that (okay, maybe Georgia). Recruiting is just fine, it is playing those top recruits against West opponents and getting smacked that hurts. Recruiting looks good again in 2020 and we should finish with the top class in the West.

  4. It's Ernie. 

     

    Excited about this one - I actually like his WR film better than I do his LB film, I just think he looks more fluid and has better hands. But he is fast and has the long arms that Chins/Ruud/Dawson love at the LB spot, he'll fit in quite well. I'd expect him to commit soon.

    I'm optimistic because it finally looks like we have the athletes to be good - really good.  I think we go 5-1 or 4-2 to finish the season.    

     

    If we beat Penn St, I think it is the shock of confidence this group needs, and I don't think 5-1 is out of the question at all.

     

    If we lose to Penn St, we hang our heads and I won't be surprised to finish 2-6.

    Can’t control your team is a forfeit in my book.
     

    Not our fault that others do not want to play bad enough to adhere to the safety protocols. 

    +1. Play the hypotheticals - behavioral issues. Say we had so many players suspended for something they'd been caught doing wrong that we "couldn't play". I suppose everyone should let us off the hook, huh?

  7. Could be lower, as it is a % of the players being tested. OWH article had a great summary I suggest people read before, yes, continuing misinformation that just isn't true in here. 

     

    I just really don't understand how Wisconsin could cancel considering they had 42 players/staff test positive a month ago. Now, if they're not testing those players anymore (they don't have to), that lowers the denominator for % of people tested... which would be dumb, but possible...

    So either Mertz himself(plausible) or someone who tested him(lawsuit) leaked

     

    does this mean Wiscy has to cancel/postpone 3 games or 21 days worth. 

    Not really - yes, if it was a person who tested him. HIPAA applies to medical professionals. If Mertz told his roommate, and his roommate told a reporter, no lawsuits to be had. Obviously, some network of friends/family is the much more likely answer. Shoot, even coaching staff inside the team who are friendly with a reporter - not illegal for them to tell the paper he's out.

    Was there a single play he didn’t knock someone down??? LOL. Man amongst boys. Wow!

    I have no idea about his competition...

    Class A, so the best that Nebraska high schools have to offer as far as competition goes (now, Omaha Public Schools aren't playing this fall...)

  10. Tuioti is a great recruiter. Just watch, after the rest of the entire staff has every other single possible position full, and every coach has nothing to but either help him or twiddle their thumbs... Tony is going to start closing on some DL guys. 

     

    ;)

    I've guessed that but I haven't gotten around to looking into it.

     

    IIRC, John was one of those guys who was just as developed as he was going to get in high school.  Just peaked early.  Not sure if that would affect Eli or not. 

    Well, I dug in... and can confirm, it is John's little brother, meaning dad played here too. :) Just a matter of perspective. I hope the family isn't salty he didn't get much playing time.

    And lets be honest...There’s no guarantee Stoll comes back and either Allen or Rafdal may transfer out. 

    I keep seeing people mention seniors coming back and I'm like wtf are you talking about 

     

    And then I remember it is 2020. All rules are off.
