Coaches back to work

 

Trips to sunny resorts to enjoy drinks with umbrellas in them will have to wait.

 

A day after signing day, work went on at the Husker football offices.

 

"Now, it's onto that next (recruiting) class," said Jeff Jamrog, assistant athletic director for football.

 

Jamrog estimated the staff has already extended 25 scholarship offers to prospects around the country who are juniors in high school.

 

While spring ball is a few weeks away, Husker coaches are still planning to spend about half of each day on recruiting.

 

Saturday, the Huskers are planning to host about 30 to 40 high school juniors on campus.

 

Most of the recruits will be from Nebraska, a few from nearby states. They'll get a chance to see coaches, the facilities and meet academic advisers.

 

The Huskers have two Junior Days. The other one will be April 19, the day of the Red-White Spring Game.

 

"Hopefully it will be huge attendance," Jamrog said. "Hopefully it will be sold-out."

 

Jamrog's hope could become a reality. On Wednesday, the first day tickets were on sale, roughly 23,000 tickets were sold, within 5,000 of all the advanced sales for last year's game.
