SouthLincoln Husker Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Isn't Bubak our only decommit so far, or am I forgetting someone else? We also lost a couple guys from the Class of 2015. They weren't from Nebraska, though, were they? No. I don't think anyone said they were. Bussey and Reuben Jones are the two I remember decommitting. I guess when I read this: Also, they waited until the finished there cross-country recruiting tour before recruiting in Nebraska. That strategy worked to land some of our 2015 signees out of state, but it lead to some decommits, which includes Bubak. It sounded like he was talking about other Nebraska recruits decommitting, not just all the decommits in general. Maybe I'm reading it wrong. I don't think Bo every had a Nebraska kid decommit. #RileySucks (sarcasm) Thats because he recruited very few of them Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Surprised the staff isn't after this guy. 6'6 255 DE in south kansas with a pretty good offer list https://rivals.yahoo.com/nebraska/football/recruiting/player-Isaiahh-Loudermilk-172510 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Really could have used to be better in Kansas but overall not too bad. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Interesting because it didn't seem like they really had specific regions last year. I wonder if they did until they focused in on some guys or if they're changing it up this year. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Nebraska and every other program gets 168 evaluation days — to split up between nine coaches — in the spring. A given prospect can be "evaluated" by two coaches in the spring. Evaluations consist of many things, including, in the states that allow high school spring football practice, watching players in practice settings. But coaches, Gunderson said, look a lot of things about a player. Each has 18 days or so to evaluate and has to try and see every potential prospect in their recruiting region and every prospect at their position who's not in their region. Gunderson said assistants do a good job of figuring out how they're going to accomplish their game plan. OWH Quote Link to comment

I wonder if they did until they focused in on some guys or if they're changing it up this year. Maybe it didn't seem like they have regions because they also are in charge of visiting their position prospects? So Stewart will have to swoop through the SE, but then head to Cali for Holmes, Lenior, etc... Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Here is a list of all the prospects above .88 who we didn't offer in the 500 mile radius (247 Composite Ratings). Not stating that any of these kids are better than who we offered etc. Was just curious and thought I'd share .88 - .89 is the cusp of being a 4* or above. Obviously a boat load of 3* not listed (WR) Oliver Martin http://247sports.com/Player/Oliver-Martin-83423 (OT) Tristan Wirfs http://247sports.com/Player/Tristan-Wirfs-83665 (TE) Cole Kmet http://247sports.com/Player/Cole-Kmet-82570 (WR) Ricky Smalling http://247sports.com/Player/Ricky-Smalling-38099 (OG) Kevin Jarvis http://247sports.com/Player/Kevin-Jarvis-81337 (ATH) Isaiah Robertson http://247sports.com/Player/Isaiah-Robertson-57485 (OG) Kayden Lyles http://247sports.com/Player/Kayden-Lyles-36785 (OT) Tyler Beach http://247sports.com/Player/Tyler-Beach-86162 (OG) Creed Humphrey http://247sports.com/Player/Creed-Humphrey-81791 (ATH) DaRon Davis http://247sports.com/Player/Daron-Davis-83837 (OG) Marquis Hayes http://247sports.com/Player/Marquis-Hayes-83851 (DT) Akial Byers http://247sports.com/Player/Akial-Byers-60955 Edited January 10, 2017 by Mavric Merged threads 1 Quote Link to comment
Jackskers83 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I have wondered why it seems we do not recruit Illinois harder. Do any of the coaches have any ties to that area? Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 There are lots of factors that play a part: Do they fit our scheme? Position need? Grades? Conduct? Do they even want to be a Husker? Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 If we are only targeting guys who already 'want to be Huskers' we are really limiting our pool of potential talent. One needs to make contacts and "sell" or introduce the many features of Husker athletics to as many as possible. Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I've always wondered why people seem to be so obsessed with the 500 mile radius considering there are a helluva lot more, and better, players outside that radius. Sure, pickup a few gimmes in the radius but, other than a few easier recruiting jobs, wouldn't we be best served going after more and better wherever they may be? Seems like concentrating on that radius is code for that's the best we can hope for. Quote Link to comment

Seems like concentrating on that radius is code for that's the best we can hope for. To me it builds a brand of Nebraska and that we are the dominant Midwest team. Within that radius you are also dealing with way less high level competition of teams, and kids who are more aware what Nebraska brings to the table. These kids know the cold weather, the scenery, etc etc. You don't build the whole roster around this, but you damn sure nab all the top players in these areas. Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota, Kansas Now we are trying to bring kids from across the United States and competing with USC, UCLA, Oregon, Arizona St, Stanford, Washington 1 Quote Link to comment
