Eric the Red Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Is it me or does it look like the Huskers are taking the Ole Miss approach and offering way, way more offers than spots available? It looks like a whole bunch of top 100 guys have offers from NU. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think that ever year they send out about 200 offers or so, don't they? Quote Link to comment
dylan Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 We always cast a wide net. We have to with little local talent. Nothing shady or "ole miss" about lots of offers. Accepting too many commits would be, but that's another topic. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 According to 247, we had 225 offers out last year. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 It's just how we ahve to recruit, compared to a Texas or Florida who have kids right in there backyard waiting for an offer. We have to offer that many kids to gauge interest. Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 the ole miss approach is to pay players, 'because everyone else is doing it'..... i dont think we have even come close to that yet. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ed Helms Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I really, truely believe this is going to be a breakout year for Nebraska recruiting. This year we'll see the big impact of having Terry Joseph on the staff, Rich Fisher has been killing it, Garrison and Kaz doing work on both lines, and oh yeah, our two coordinators have been widely considered as two of the best recruiters on the staff since they got here. Add that with the 2013 season potentially being very good for the Huskers, and I'm feeling that the 2014 class is going to be very good. 2 Quote Link to comment

Add that with the 2013 season potentially being very good for the Huskers, and I'm feeling that the 2014 class is going to be very good. They seem to know the game. Recruiting starts earlier now as the number of early commits grows. Huskers have been showing a great game plan with the smaller but elite Junior Day (plus BRW). These coaches get at recruiting hard, boasting an elite recruiting class that expands coast-to-coast this year (blowing up their budget from last year). 2014 recruiting could be just as great.

I said this a few weeks ago. The last few years, NU has had a serious infusion of talent, there is momentum in that infusion and we are definitely developing ace recruiters. Inexperience might be our only downside when it comes to our staff, but their youth is paying dividends with recruiting. Lets be real, guys like Stanton, Taylor, Maurice, Love, Dixon, Mixon, Collins, Kondolo, Suttles, and Johnson couldve been ranked much higher in the recruiting world then all of the sudden instead of 10 on scout, we're 5 or 6. Instead of 17 on Rivals we would be 10-12. Coaches, including Bo, are starting to really come into their own in recruiting and I only see it going up. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 We always cast a wide net. We have to with little local talent. Nothing shady or "ole miss" about lots of offers. Accepting too many commits would be, but that's another topic. But this night be a discussion to have withint the same toic. I feel like others we have some great momentum with recruiting. What happenes when we get a bunch of commits and we still have plenty of offers out there and then we start saying no to players that we had originally wanted? Is it ok to start pulling offers based on the fact we have already received commits from others at that position? Would we ever accept a commit only to recind it because another player, someone we feel is better, commits? Or hell, do these things already occur? Quote Link to comment

When we get committs and reach our limit, I'm sure the others understand how the game is played and that they shouldve committed earlier. Regardless, we win, becuase we know we're getting the ones that want to be here. Quote Link to comment

Once it is clear what their top targets are leaning to, they change it from noncommitable to commitable. If they offer a commitable and a prospect commits they don't want commitment just yet, they ask the prospect to hold off yet (I don't know how they word in on the phone for those situations, but that is the big picture of how it goes down).

Then it is not an "offer." They can call it whatever they want, but "offer" is not the right word. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 OSU does not do that, because thats unethical and would piss of alot of highschool coaches. Urban is smarter than that, he is just a damn good recruiter and knows how to play the game. He may be the best recruiter of our generation. Quote Link to comment
