huskerguy Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Is that one of our major expansions or focuses this year in recruiting or are we just getting that much more national attention? Seems like we got a lot more players further east interested in us this year... Indiana, Ohio, Virginia, etc... I like to see we're going in there and hopefully nabbing some of the Big 10, Big East, and ACC talent. Quote Link to comment
westgatehusker Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I noticed that to, especially in Ohio though that's not in the far east we've never hit that area hard before Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 yeah its not that far east, but further east than we ever got except for Florida... next year we will probably be stealing recruits from states like Alabama and Georgia Quote Link to comment

Eric the Red Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 havent we had success in the past in new jersey? In the 80's and 90's we usually snagged one a year. Some were busts and others rocked Quote Link to comment

Dailey was a decent athlete placed at the wrong position. He never should have played a down at QB in D1. Would have made a fine WR at some mid-major. As for real players, the Peter brothers came from NJ also. And man, did they rock! Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Jamal Lord was also from NJ, actually the High School as Dailey... or did you guys know that and just didn't want to bring up the name Quote Link to comment
Necava Husker Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Jamal Lord was also from NJ, actually the High School as Dailey... or did you guys know that and just didn't want to bring up the name Yeah, I had forgotten that Jammal Lord was from NJ. He was a tremendous athlete, and would have made a fine RB if we hadn't needed him at QB. I've always thought that if Jammal had played eight years earlier he would be a Husker legend (assuming Tommie Frazier was not around). jmho Quote Link to comment

Some observations: *Most of these players are from North Jersey *Besides the immidiate Midwest, New Jersey and maybe Cali lead the way for out of state recruits. *A greater percentage of New Jersey players came out of Hudson County (inner city, outside Manhatten, NY) Quote Link to comment
Necava Husker Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 There are some real gems on that list. Some of the best players we’ve ever had. I did not know Rich Glover was from NJ. Quote Link to comment
