The question NOW becomes: Who does Dylan bring WITH him? Who ESPECIALLY wants to come to Nebraska now that this is the Heir Apparent? Pretty sure the coaches all went to Ainsworth to sell Carter Nelson on Riaola over his bud Danny Dimes. I'm pretty sure that Haarberg will be used in a different capacity next year, because he is an athletic talent and can play at the next level - just probably not at QB.

 

His announcement probably came TODAY to orchestrate some attention going to more people committing Tuesday and NSD. It's gonna be a cool week for the Huskers football team.

Might be too late for this year. But it will definitely have an impact for 2025. I hope his first call is to the stud Tackle from Bishop Gorman is who is top 25 recruit in next years class.

Was shocked to see the number 2 recruit in all the nation only bumped us to the 23rd ranked recruiting class.

 

Here's the thing to understand about recruiting: there's haves and there's have-nots. The have-nots take 4- and 5-star guys when they can get them, while the haves fill the majority of their classes with them.

 

Nebraska basically sits at the high end of the have-nots. But the thing is, even in a good year, that doesn't mean that we're particularly close to being one of the haves. We'd need to start bringing in blue-chip guys at about double the rate that we currently do to really join the upper tier of college football recruiting, not just one or two more per year.

 

This is kind of a downer of a post in a really happy thread, but...

He is only 4% of our class.

JFC, will this please stop? The bolded was not done for, nor was it related to, the recruitment of Dylan. Donovan was the only assistant whose contract is set to expire after this past season since he was retained on his original contract that had 1 year left. Donovan is clearly doing a good job and Rhule likes him a lot and wanted to keep him, thus an extension and a raise to recognize the good job he has done this year. 
 

—edit—

It has also been reported that Donovan’s extension was done a few weeks ago, before Dylan came back into the picture.

 

He's also currently sitting at #6 on 247's recruiter rankings.

I just heard the great news. 

Time has come for Nebraska to rise up and be Nebraska again. DR, s commitment opens the door for great things to happen. I hope some other top players follow him and flip to Nebraska

You should both donate to the 1890 initiative to purify your Husker fandom.

Is 1890 the ONLY NIL collective for the Huskers?

We still have a couple top receivers looking at us.

This is amazing.
