WR Austin Hill

[MadcatNU]

Anyone know who is assigned to Hill? I would assume Gilmore, but does anyone know for sure?

Rivals lists Carl Pelini as Hill's lead recruiter. But I'm sure Gilmore is in on him too.

Personally, I am kinda happy we did back off from him. I think we are on to some great WR recruits (Michaelee Harris, Joshua Reese, and Willis Wright). Call me a little bias, but I'll take an athlete from FL over any athlete from any other state.

hey, im new to this i live in new york, but a big time nebeaska football fan,,, and im not happy we backed off this kid because we need recievers and we only have one.... and if we got him too commit we would get his cuz aaron green....

[Back In Black]

wow, this just adds more fuel to my fire with watson

[huskers1]

I agree I would be a lot less upset if we did end up getting a commit from Harris, Wright, Lucas or Reese. Maybe we have a silent commit out of one so far or something. But like I said in a prior post we have taken less athletic kids before to get another recruit so why not do the same thing with Hill even if we do have other options?

As far as I'm concerned, you take the best player you can get every time. There's no guarantee that you get Green just by taking Hill, and if you take Hill when you could have a receiver you graded out better and don't end up with Green then you've screwed yourself twice.

This is just too weird......makes me wonder if Hill is telling the truth. Not saying he's lying, but kids have lied about and to the staff before.

I guess I'll wait for the recruiting process to play itself out before getting pissed off, but this is very surprising and disappointing. Crabtree just said yesterday that NU was in a great position to land Hill, but apparently he was going off of old info. Kind of makes you take what these recruiting experts say with even more of a grain of salt that they were saying NU was the clear leader when in fact they hadn't even contacted Hill since the OU game. But I guess I'll just give the coaches the benefit of the doubt until signing day. If we don't have another (better) WR commit at that point, they'll have some 'splainin' to do, Lucy.

Has anyone heard any news about Gilmore? It seems like his biggest recruits have decommited and I've heard rumors he's checked out.

Isn't there a recruiting "dead period" at some point in December, when coaches aren't allowed to contact kids, but they can talk if the kids contact them? I thought I remembered one around this time in years past. That could be part of the "issue."

[Judoka]

A list of dead periods in recruiting.

 

Dec. 18-20 is a quiet period;

What's the difference between a quiet period and a dead period?

So according to the NCAA, a Coach CAN write or call a recruit during both a Dead Period and a Quiet period unless I am missing something. I don't get this at all.
