chuckd Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yeah I'm loving all these commitments this early... anyone remember how many commitments we had last year around this time? I would love to know that if anyone remembers or can look that up some how. LBs will come its so early right now, we're just getting the foundation to a solid class then building from there. Last year to the day we received our 4th committment from Shawn Sullivan. Niles Paul 1/2/06 Demetrious Davis 6/2/06 Jared Crick 6/8/06 Shawn Sullivan 6/11/06 We then received 2 more (Blue and Witt) at the end of June. We didn't get another one until August 5th, so I think it's safe to say we are off to a good start this year. Patience is a virtue and something you have to have in the whole recruiting game.

BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Receiver to transfer to NU BY STEVEN M. SIPPLE / Lincoln Journal Star Monday, Jun 11, 2007 - 12:11:55 pm CDT Adrian Hilburn, a fleet wide receiver from San Francisco City College, had no qualms about verbally pledging to accept Nebraska’s scholarship offer this past weekend despite never visiting NU’s campus. You see, Hilburn has a trustworthy inside source for information in former San Francisco City College quarterback Zac Lee, who transferred to Nebraska this past January. “He tells me how good the program is and just everything about Nebraska,” said the 6-foot-2, 195-pound Hilburn, who reportedly runs the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds. “Really, I don’t need to see the campus. I saw it online — the weight room, study areas, everything. It’ll be great to see it in person, but I already know it’s a good school.” Hilburn becomes the eighth player — and first junior college athlete — to pledge to Nebraska’s class of 2008. Last season at San Francisco City College, Lee and Hilburn helped lead the Rams to a 10-2 record and an appearance in the California junior college title game. Hilburn, in his first season at the school, recorded 27 receptions for 366 yards and six touchdowns. A Texas native, Hilburn will have three years to play two at Nebraska. He plans to receive his associate’s degree from San Francisco CC in December, enroll at NU in January and be ready for spring practice. Brad Hoiseth, junior college recruiting analyst for Rivals.com, said Hilburn’s best days on the field probably are ahead of him. “Last year, he kind of played second fiddle to Kenny O’Neal,” Hoiseth said of the five-star wide receiver who signed with Tennessee’s class of 2007. “Hilburn should be City College’s guy this year, although they’re loaded at receiver. He’s a guy who catches passes downfield.” In addition to Nebraska, Hilburn said he received strong recruiting interest from Tennessee, Oregon, Kansas State and Texas A&M. However, none of those schools made formal scholarship offers, he said. Hilburn said he was lightly recruited coming out of Canyon High School in New Braunfels, Texas. “I didn’t get much recruiting attention because we ran the ball 50 times a game,” he said. “I figured why not go to City College, where they throw it 50 times a game?” Hilburn obviously looks forward to playing again with Lee, a sophomore at Nebraska who has four years to play three. “Zac has a great arm,” Hilburn said. “Some quarterbacks have great arm strength but really don’t know how to use it. Zac knows how to throw the ball and where to throw it when a defender is on you. His timing is really good. We always worked together outside of practice, so it fell into place during games.” Nebraska offensive line coach Dennis Wagner played the primary role in Hilburn’s recruitment. Of the Huskers’ eight verbal commitments for 2008, Wagner has played a lead role in landing six of them. “He was real cool, real straightforward,” Hilburn said. “You know how some coaches beat around the bush? Coach Wagner just gets straight to the point and talks about business.” ljs Quote Link to comment

Spartness Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Perhaps another under-used stud? Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 When does rivals come out with the stars and rankings for Juco's? I am assuming that we will take at least one Juco linebacker for this class, as well as a Juco corner, but in my opinion that should be all as far as Jucos go. We have built up solid depth in the offensive and defensive lines, as well as receiver, running back, and safety. The only thing that we are lacking depth at are those two. Also I was just wondering how someone like Andre Jones or Bowman or Murillo only have two years to play two. That would mean that they had to be in Juco for three years. Are they just that bad at school or what is the deal with that? I would think they either have to play two straight years and have a redshirt left or use their redshirt and be a sophmore when you go to D1, just wondering how this all is possible.

BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 It will be interesting to see what kind of numbers he can put up being the go to guy. O'Neal was Da Man last year and was one of the top JUCOs in the country. Nebraska barely lost out on O'Neal to the Oompa Lumpas last year. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 If we're gonna get any jcuo reciever it should be Carl Moore Quote Link to comment
