We had substantial ground to make up and were not all in last week. I’d rather lose the entire recruiting class than have Frost go back on his word to his players. 4 Quote Link to comment
famoustitles Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 So the only semi-surprising thing to happen today is not flipping Riley? Really wish him and fleeks would have waited until February to sign to give the new staff more than a couple of weeks to work them. Overall not a bad position to be in given how the season went. 2 Quote Link to comment

BIG ERN Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) So Frost is thinking around 7* more commits that aren't signed or committed yet. Masry and Smith could both come up short academically. Below are the ones we have a chance with that I could think of....Wasn't sure if the ship has sailed on any of them yet - feel free to correct me Honas Swinson Bush Hawkins Jean-Baptise Carson Thompson Porter Mills Wade Hall Crosswell K.

Mavric Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 We currently have 13 commits. Frost says the number is 20. I think we're looking for some combination of 1 RB, 1 WR, 1 TE, 2 OTs, 2 DLs, 1 LB and 2 DBs. That's 10 positions for 7 spots - though we could sign 8 more at the moment. But Mapieu and Smith are question marks academically so those numbers may depend on how they do. Jurgens may also end up at LB which might explain why we're still looking for TEs and help fill the numbers at LB. Current Scholarships/Commits QB - 1 - ADRIAN MARTINEZ RB - 2 - JUCO GREG BELL, Javian Hawkins WR - 3-4 - JUCO JARON WOODYARD, JUSTIN McGRIFF, KATERIAN LeGRONE, Dominick Watt TE - 1-2 - CAMERON JURGENS, Messiah Swinson OT - 1-2 - Hamilton Hall OG/C - 1 - WILL FARNIOK NT - 1-2 - MASRY MAPIEU DE - 2 - TATE WILDEMAN, Daniel Carson LB - 2-3 - DAVID ALSTON, JUCO Will Honas, Lavontae Jean-Baptiste CB - 1-2 - JUCO Jeremy Webb, Braxton Clark S - 2-3 - CJ SMITH, JUCO DEONTAI WILLIAMS, Cam'ron Jones K - 1 - BARRET PICKERING 4 Quote Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 If we have known attrition. Can we fill those spots and add to class? Example say tanner Lee tells frost he will be leaving in spring as grad transfer? Quote Link to comment

Example say tanner Lee tells frost he will be leaving in spring as grad transfer? Yes, and NU can technically over sign by 3, but just have to be at 85 for the fall. However, I don’t think Frost will sign a bunch of guys this year just to get the class to the max. The time to go over is in years 2 and 3. 1 Quote Link to comment
HuskermanMike Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Would assume Moses Bryant will be the 2nd running back of the class. No need to take more unless he does not qualify, but it's looking better I think. Need some bodies at wide receiver, as we have missed some depth there in recent classes. I would like two more, but it depends on how we do at other spots, and we don't need to overload that spot this early in the Frost era. One of those big-bodied receivers can move to TE. Offensive Tackle is a must this cycle, you just cannot skip that position. Linebacker needs a difference maker because a lot of the young guys need seasoning/playing experience. Honas is a big need, but not looking great with Wiscy trying to swoop in and get him. Corner needs some depth, although it seems one of those three safeties we are recruiting will play corner- most likely Dwilliams or Smith. And we need to get Jones on board as he would be a huge get.

BIG ERN Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Here are a few FL kids I think we should at least throw an offer at and try to get to visit in January.

Red Five Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think 20 is the floor. Probably looking at a couple more. 2 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Still a lot of big fish out there (not that I expect us to reel any of them in). List of the top 100 guys still out there Edited December 21, 2017 by Red Five 2 Quote Link to comment
