Will NU sign a full class?

[HuskerMan]

The title says it all. Do you think Nebraska will sign a full class this year? Will they do it using recruits or do you think they will promote some potential walk-ons up to scholarship offers?

[RedDenver]

I think we'll try for a full class but won't have one by the time fall practice starts. There will be some potential slots for walk-ons.

What is a full class this year anyway? 27 seems to be in my head but I'm not sure.

 

It's rare that you sign a full class without promoting a walk-on, becuase seemingly every year someone will back out at the last minute. Now there's still a lot of kids out there that deserve a scholly and want to play for nebraska, but you just can't offer schollys to everyone or else you're class will be full but it won't be the same caliber of players that we want. You can scroll thoughs scouts list and they have a lot of 2 star players that are labled as High interest in Nebraska but have no offer and I havn't even seen any mention of a lot of them on here. You can about bet that if we thought we had to have a full class we could start throwing offers at those guys and get a full class, but I'd rather a Walk-on from Nebraska get them myself.

I think right now it's 50/50. Bo and the coaching staff won't just pick kids to fill the class to meet the numbers. I think they will look real close at the walk on program and with the openings that they won't fill on signing day, will reward the past and future walk on with scholarships who earn it.

24-26 in this class is the likely guess right now.

24-26 in this class is the likely guess right now.

I have to agree. It seems like a walk-on or two are going to get a scholly.
