Would love to have both if they want N. So I would be happy to take 6 if that's the case. Put us right at 25 for the class and that puts us in a good place for the anticipation of attrition this spring. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Callahan with talk of four more spots and being over 88. I didn't think that was allowed but..... Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 I guess one thing I haven't considered is the possibility of not renewing a scholarship given to a walk-on. I think Conrad is the only one who fits that description but it they can work the numbers on that it would be one more spot. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sounds like Callahan is kind of expecting them to (somewhat) go with @seaofred92's proposal: Don't sign Mapieu in February, unassumingly with the promise of a spot later on if/when he qualifies. I suppose they could try that with Smith as well but that might not sell as well, especially with how adamant he's been about signing in February. So that would mean we could still have 4 spots left (with Smith signing) with spots "saved" for Mapieu and Vedral. Which means we could have (need) five guys to leave by fall and still be at the full 85. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 We currently have 19 commits plus two transfers. We could sign 22/23/24 depending on whether Mapieu and Smith actually sign. For sure one OL - possibility of two but unlikely: Bell -> McDonald -> Sampson Really want an OLB: JJB would probably be our first choice -> Tannor maybe a second choice but still would be a great get -> Baldonado Really seems like we're looking for another RB: Washington -> Henry -> Bryant? Probably another DB: Jones seems to really interested -> Taylor/Torain Tago an option but not a priority (IMO) Current Scholarships/Commits QB - 1 - ADRIAN MARTINEZ, Matthew Tago RB - 2 - JUCO GREG BELL, Maurice Washington, Ta'zhawn Henry, Moses Bryant WR - 6 - JUCO JARON WOODYARD, JUSTIN McGRIFF, KATERIAN LeGRONE, JUCO MIKE WILLAIMS, DOMINICK WATT, MILES JONES, Nikko Hall TE - 1 - CAMERON JURGENS OT - 1 - Hamilton Hall, Blake McDonald, Jarrett Bell OG/C - 1 - WILL FARNIOK, Tyrone Sampson NT - 1 - MASRY MAPIEU DE - 2 - TATE WILDEMAN, CASEY ROGERS LB - 2-3 - DAVID ALSTON, JUCO WILL HONAS, Javontae Jean-Baptiste, Caleb Tannor CB - 2 - JUCO DEONTAI WILLIAMS, BRAXTON CLARK, Kendrick Torain S - 1-2 - CJ SMITH, Cam'ron Jones, Cam Taylor K - 1 - BARRET PICKERING Quote Link to comment

I took out Mapieu and added Bell, JJB, Washington and Jones. This puts us at 18th. If we would end up there with a coaching change, that would be a hell of a job well done. 2 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Basically if you take the 19 commits at face value that they are going to ALL be on scholarship, that gives Nebraska 84 players currently with scholarships. So they should be able to go after 4 more to get to the 88. Quote Link to comment

macroboy Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I can't make this math work out with the number of spots we have vs. number of recruits we are still pursuing. There has to be something happening we don't know about, right? Quote Link to comment

Seems weird we seem to be going after more WR's, so maybe its at that position? Quote Link to comment
