Mavric Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 It was a map with pics of the 2017 class and which states they came from. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Fun question. Right now on 247, we are ranked 24th and Texas is 25th. Which team finishes higher? Texas Well....we have moved up to 21 with 19 recruits and they have moved down to 28 with 15. Still stand by this prediction? Fun fact. Nebraska #23 Texas #26 1 Quote Link to comment
B.B. Hemingway Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hadn't seen this mentioned on the board yet. Potential WR transfer from Kentucky, Jeff Badet. Led Kentucky in receiving in 2016. http://hailvarsity.com/s/1020/hot-reads-roster-roulette Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Apparently the Shrine Bowl moved up the date of the game this year to try to make it possible for the Husker-signees to play but the Huskers further moved up the reporting date so they couldn't. Not the greatest way to win favor with HS coaches. Quote Link to comment

Not the greatest way to win favor with HS coaches. I assume the coaches wants the freshmen to report when the 2nd session of summer classes begin (and to take a class or 2 over the summer), so its more of a UNL academic calendar thing, not a football department thing. Isn't the rule they are allowed to participate in team activities over the summer only if they are enrolled? Report 6/2 Shrine Bowl 6/3 2nd Summer Session 6/5 If I was a Husker coach, I would be terrified of the incoming players playing in a game at that point. All it takes is one weird hit and you lose a guy for the season before he sets foot on campus. 1 Quote Link to comment

Now they're making them report earlier. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Eh, the risk of injury is pretty overblown. You could get injured at any time. They played how many games in high school? They could get hurt during off-season lifting. They could get hurt the first day of practice. Injuries happen. Skipping one game lessens that risk but by such a small amount that it's hardly worth talking about. Those guys are all pretty much headed for a redshirt anyway. Would mean a lot more in terms of PR and goodwill that the slightly reduced risk of injury. Quote Link to comment

Would mean a lot more in terms of PR and goodwill that the slightly reduced risk of injury. Yes, they played in many HS football games... 8 months prior. So if they had an injury during their HS season, the University already knew about it and actually had a chance to change their mind if they wanted to offer them a scholarship. No one wants to lose a player to injury the DAY before they report. I say DON'T let them play. 1 Quote Link to comment

If Rafdal seems more ready than I guess so, but TE is a spot where he could earn time right away. Bradley probably not redshirting due to our general philosophy on RB's. You may have even brought that up. Even if it brings it down just a little isn't that worth it? Are there practices that go along with the Shrine bowl? If so that adds to the risk. Yes, the could get hurt in off season workouts, but at least the Husker coaches are in charge of the program. This is outside of their control so I can understand the anxiety. Quote Link to comment

Their body is out of football shape and a week of practices aren't going to get them back in it. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Benning tweeted Wilhite this morning and asked if they'd be ok with recruits playing in the Shrine Bowl. Wilhite said yes. Quote Link to comment
