***2016 Recruiting***

[Mavric]

Sprint to the finish update.

Priority:
DE - For sure need one more.

OT - We're in really good shape at OG but are in dire need of tackles.
WR - Two small burners. Need at least one big yet.
TE - Reports are the staff wants 1-2 more (plus Stoll)
DT - I moved them down as apparently the coaches weren't recruiting anyone but I'm not sure why.

-----------------------------------------

My guess at the number for each position. Commits are capitalized in red - others are targets.

QB - 1 - PATRICK O'BRIEN
RB - 1 - TRE BRYANT
WR - 3-4 - JD SPIELMAN, DERRION GRIM, Desmond Fitzpatrick, Isaiah Simmons, Kalija Lipscomb
TE - 2-3 - JACK STOLL
OT - 2-3 - Matt Farniok, Alaric Jackson, Royce Newman
OG/C - 3 - BRYAN BROKOP, JOHN RARIDON, BOE WILSON

DT - 1-2 -
DE - 2-3 - BEN STILLE, Tramal Ivy (JuCo), Collin Miller
LB - 3-4 - QUAYSHON ALEXANDER, GREG SIMMONS, Cameron Goode
CB - 2-3 - DICAPRIO BOOTLE, Lamar Jackson, Devron Davis (JuCo)
S - 2-3 - MARQUEL DISMUKE, JoJo DOMANN, Tony Butler

P/K - 1 - CALEB LIGHTBOURN

Updated taking Reese and Watts off.

 

Just for poops and giggles, I added Fant. I'm not convinced his recruitment is over. He is considering taking an official visit here.

 

You can probably take Sails off and add Davis and Miller. No dates on those guys.

theyre "thinking" about becoming Cornhuskers, is my best guess.

This is the 'normal' fan panic that occurs in the dead period every year it seems to me. The recruting watchers are either terrified that our 'top' rated recruits will change their minds or the ones that haven't decided will of course without a doubt choose some place else to go to school. Time will tell folks. Give the coaches a chance to finish the class and let the recruits decide. It does not help recruiting to have a bunch of naysayers writing bad things constantly, criticizing the players who we are considering and who are considering us.

 

At this point in time, we have some excellent players committed and apparently intending to and or are in fact enrolled already. There are another 8 or ten more to secured. I can't believe that there are no more good student athletes left out there across the country that would be interested in playing football for Nebraska. We have a coach with a good reputation for treating people respectfully and above reproach for many years. He is well known around the NFL and most other colleges and certainly amongst quite a number of high schools, particularly on the West coast. We have the KEY ingredient in buildiing a great team with Patrick Obrien already enrolled. He is not a "if" or a "Maybe" or a highly probabe. He is already in school. We have a bevy of good receivers and some solid RBs to distribute the ball to for several years to come. We return a starting QB with loads of experience and a system that got better as the season progressed. The trend line was moving up, albeit from a very low level to begin. We can't blame it all on the past coaches or the current coaches or the players or the administration or the fans. Some bad luck, some bad choices, some good ones.

It will all be OK! Relax and enjoy the future of Husker football. The games this year were all excitiing and fun! That is what we all pay for! We got our money's worth in football fun and there's lots more to come in the years ahead. Wins will come. We are the Huskers! America's team.

Wake up and smell the coffee brother.

Interesting - if not entirely pleasant - observation looking at Offensive Tackles.

 

I've seen a couple different places that Alaric Jackson wants to commit to Michigan State but they're not taking him right now. Seems that he is a backup plan for them. So I looked at who else they might be looking at, per 247. They only show four OTs with MSU offers who aren't committed elsewhere. This list might sound familiar: Jauan Williams, Matt Farniok, Alaric Jackson and EJ Price. Jauan Williams isn't going to MSU and EJ Price seems headed to the SEC. That would seem that the other OT MSU is waiting on is Farniok. If they don't get him - and I think Farniok picks NU or Iowa - Jackson would seem to be their next look.

 

And Jackson is also looking at Iowa. So there would be a scenario where Farniok and Jackson could end up at Iowa and Michigan State. And that would suck.

Also interesting that we may get both and those two schools get zero!!!
