Wouldn’t be so sure Tremond Shorts is visiting anymore. Sounds like he may take a visit to LSU (rip). 

That’s really lame

I’m hearing 2 Juco visitors this weekend. Anyone know who?

I'm guessing we are 89 with Jackson.

We have a guard from FCS and Chubba scheduled to visit this weekend, so there must be some more attrition we aren’t aware of.

Hope we are going after their OLBs, or at least giving them a look.

While I think athletically we'll be better on defense this year, I don't think we are at that reload spot yet. Could really use some edge rushers.

Word is the staff reached out to Nesta Jade Silvera, DT from Miami.

Does Whipple use a fullback?

Some of the Pitt highlights I watched they used a TE like a fullback out of shotgun in offset formation.

Word is that Tre'mond Shorts grad transfer OL from ETSU is visiting next week. An FCS All American 

I'm glad we are trying to add more competition to the line!

There's one more that needs to move along that's taking up a scholarship.

Rumor is he is going out on medical hardship, but I have yet to see it reported.

Big if true... https://247sports.com/Player/Trey-Palmer-93983/

 

5* out of HS... https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2019/trey-palmer-181052

Sounds like he is visiting on 1/14.

The only thing wrong with Logan Smothers is he’s not the new guy.

I’m just giddy about the new guy… I bet he’s the greatest ever!

Well he has 30 career touchdowns to Logan’s 0.

Are other schools dealing with having to adjust their scholarship rosters (not just in B1G)?  I'm just curious if it's common across the board.

All teams have the 85 scholarship limit but some conferences are a lot more flexible with over signing than the Big 10. The super seniors are an issue impacting every school though as well.

Looking at the scholarships, we are at 88 with Thomas & D Jackson.  Sounds like we are looking at adding 3 to 5 more players and we need to be at 88 by February signing period.  Who else will probably leave?

I heard on another board Cerni is likely headed for a medical hardship.

I thought it was something like August before we had to have the roster adjusted.

You can only oversign by 3 in the Big 10.

Sounds like Thompson is in Lincoln on an unofficial visit?

Per who?

Clearly I am missing what is telling, can you enlighten me please?

I think the staff strategically scheduled him to visit 1/14 before the classes start on the 1/18 to allow recruitment of a veteran. Purdy is all but N and likely would commit if his offer was committable right now, in my opinion.

So much for the experienced QB and taking 2 huh?

I don’t think so. If we just wanted Purdy right now, I think he would be N. The visit on 1/14 is pretty telling

5 star Zach Evans from TCU is in the portal. Maybe (long shot) we have a chance if we sign the TCU RB coach

Hard pass.

Agreed if he was an offensive player, but our defense is likely to produce at least 4  guys drafted (DD, Domann, Taylor, and Williams; also maybe Stiller.) 

Northwestern just had a CB drafted in the 1st round last year.

We are a lateral move at best. More likely a downgrade . He’s elite program bound.

That's what I'm saying, room is thin.

I agree, I was shocked they passed on an NT. I was saying it's suggesting to me they are content with rolling with what we have, at least into Spring.

Getting the Okie Lite OT & a QB (Purdy/Thompson, ?) would

 put us at 7 scholarship transfers 

 

Current commits: (1 of each): WR, OG, P, K, CB 

 

Not sure how many we are gonna add after that. 

Yeah, quite a bit heading into spring. Then you could add more after more attrition.

1 hour ago, SouthLincoln Husker said:

I'm just saying that we don't have room for 2 qbs with other pressing needs like oline, safety & NT.  As of right now, the NCAA has not waived the 85 total scholarship limit.

We added that FCS Guard and will probably add that OT from Okie Lite this weekend. I’m doubting we take anymore OL. The staff canceled a visit from a JUCO NT who was all but N a few weeks back, so we might be rolling with what we have at that spot.
