Minnesota_husker Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 32 minutes ago, Mavric said: We currently have 20 commits plus two transfers. We can sign 23 but might get 24/25 commits depending on whether Mapieu and Smith actually sign. Sounding like Mapieu will not sign. Smith sure indicates that he will be signing. 24 seems most likely right now with Mapieu not signing but (probably) still showing up later. One OL: Bell -> Lawrence/Robinson One OLB: JJB -> Baldonado One RB: Washington or bust Maybe one more DB: Palmer back in the picture -> Taylor -> Torain/Montgomery Tago probably has a spot now with Darlington gone We'd be open to adding another WR but probably only if we miss out on other spots: Hunt -> Hall Maybe Ogbonnia at DT if we miss at a couple spots Current Scholarships/Commits QB - 1-2 - ADRIAN MARTINEZ, Matthew Tago RB - 1-2 - JUCO GREG BELL, Maurice Washington WR - 6 - JUCO JARON WOODYARD, JUSTIN McGRIFF, KATERIAN LeGRONE, JUCO MIKE WILLAIMS, DOMINICK WATT, MILES JONES, Andre Hunt, Nikko Hall TE - 1 - CAMERON JURGENS OT - 1 - Jarrett Bell, Bobby Lawrence, Jalan Robinson OG/C - 1 - WILL FARNIOK NT - 1 - MASRY MAPIEU, Otito Ogbonnia DE - 2 - TATE WILDEMAN, CASEY ROGERS LB - 2-3 - DAVID ALSTON, JUCO WILL HONAS, Javontae Jean-Baptiste, Habakkuk Baldonado CB - 2 - JUCO DEONTAI WILLIAMS, BRAXTON CLARK, Kendrick Torain, Taiyon Palmer, Cam Taylor, Ken Montgomery S - 1-2 - CJ SMITH, CAM'RON JONES K - 1 - BARRET PICKERING Jarrett Bell thing is weird. If we get JJB and Palmer I will be very happy. I dont get the idea of adding more WR's after all the guys we currently have. I guess if they can play elsewhere I am onboard but who truly knows. Give me more bodies on both lines and hopefully the added depth helps fix those two things. Quote Link to comment

It's not the staff's fault they've had 2 months to address the problem at OT, and they weren't helped by the previous staff seemingly blindly ignoring it on the recruiting trail. They had to start from scratch at OT. However they offered/visited 8 prospects before offering/visiting Lawrence and Robinson in recent days. That tells me Lawrence and Robinson were down their board a little ways. Once again, not their fault. For the amount of time they've had, they've done a tremendous job overall. It stinks we are that far down our board at OT, but so be it. Hopefully they are truely finding a coupe underrated diamonds in the rough. Well, it appears we are going to be in on a few signing day decisions, so maybe they are lining up a backup plan in case nothing goes our way. By that I mean that if a spot is available, they maybe would rather fill it up with a project at OT than nothing at all. One way to accomplish that would be to have a couple lined up that only have grayshirt offers so that if you dropped an LOI in their lap on signing day they'd be pretty apt to sign.

Lawrence and Robinson hold full scholarship offers from Neb, not greyshirt. Maybe they are backup plans at this point, but with our OV situation we haven't allowed too many backup plans to visit. Robinson will OV tomorrow. Quote Link to comment

I doubt they have Neb offers that they can commit to at the moment. But, my point was that their only other P5 offers are greyshirt offers and that would be the only type of player you could get to hold off until 5:00 pm on signing day. Quote Link to comment

Well, it says he is from Chattanooga not Memphis....all I have. Haha. I am torn, I kind of like things coming out of left field, if it means the staff is identifying things others aren't seeing. Guys that would have already been offered if the staff had been here all year. Not sure if they aren't reaching though. Too soon to tell. Edited January 31, 2018 by runningblind Quote Link to comment

Watched a little of his highlights. Misspelled safety to start the video, but the 1st highlight he nearly kills a guy. Dude is like a missile on the field. Smaller level football so competition is not great, but kid is relentless getting to the ball from the little I saw. Quote Link to comment
