SIGNED: DE Jason Ankrah

[zE bOp]

BTW with Ankrah, Nebraska is 22nd in the nation recruiting according to rivals.. One more 4 star and we could be top 20

Well, Scout has us at 20 before Ankrah, so we should move up there too...

#19 now, FWIW.

s'all good, but we have COACHES which is even better.

But don't forget, we can lose some players and ... there are plenty of five and four stars yet to commit that can and will raise and lower other teams. I wouldn't be surprized to see us just outside the top 25 ... but still a great class ... as we hit some good targets and a well rounded class for our needs.

PS. Welcome Jason ... I'm excited for you ... and our program.

 

 

We will lose two or three to academics/ decommit. The coaches have a good idea who those players are. I bet that they are looking to start filling some of the impending casualties spots.

You need a 950 or higher on your SAT to be admitted to Nebraska

 

 

 

My mistake, I thought it was 760.

Ok so the "OR's" imply that he may qualify with what he has right now. He has a 3.0 GPA, not mind blowing but pretty decent and maybe good enough to be in the upper 1/2 of his HS class. Anyone know for sure?

LOL

 

Kid does not need to be "upper one half of his class". Think about some of the guys in the past we have taken like Brandon Jackson, Rickey Thenarse, Justin Rogers, etc.,

 

Kid just needs his core classes in line and good enough test scores to get past the NCAA clearinghouse. After that, it's all gravy regardless of the standards we have.

 

We should all know that athletes get more breaks than you or I would.

[melscott62]

so is this kid a DE or a DT. that video made it sound like he might move to DT.

[bbeerma2]

I believe the cutoff is lower for athletes than 950. Isn't 950 the base for a typical student? I think it might be more like 850 or 800 for Athletes but hey, what do I know? Regardless, I like that Bo is building from the inside out. He's picked up some solid linemen on both sides of the ball.

Has the frame for DT and is a possibility.

That SAT/ACT can be pain in the ass, some people just don't read as fast as others or grow up in educated families with a big vocabulary or have yuppie parents that send them off to spelling bee camp.

 

I.e., not everyone excels at reading comprehension. Doesn't mean they can't do well in college with some extra work.

BTW with Ankrah, Nebraska is 22nd in the nation recruiting according to rivals.. One more 4 star and we could be top 20

 

But.... minus Ankrah, Byrd, Washington, Robinson and Norman --- each likely to fail to qualify --- and each among our top 10 recruits --- and we are #40-45.

 

People are being lulled into a false sense of security. Academic casualties will decimate this class.

[lilred]

oh that would be bad

Ya if all those didnt make it, it would shake things up. I just have a hard time believing the coaches would cling to a recruit destined to fail from making it. I also do not think that all those players will fail to qualify.

 

I do see your point that this isnt over, alot can happen.
