cornheadnation Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 This is totally ridiculous but... I was looking at the recruiting profiles of the 2017 class of guys who haven't committed anywhere yet. I realize that Nebraska doesn't present a lot of attraction for top tier recruits but at this point in the game how much would it hurt to make a late push at 1 or 2 of the 3 uncommitted top 10 recruits in the nation. I realize the odds of getting one to commit is like as close to 0% as you can get, but at this point, it wouldn't be like we're holding a scholarship back for someone we have an unrealistic chance if landing. I just think there is really nothing to lose by trying it. I know nothing though, just a theory. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment

We've got a pretty exciting bunch of players headed to Lincoln this fall and next. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 So we don't present attraction for top tier recruits, but we should go after the top 3 uncommitted recruits in the nation? Got it. Timmy is on it! Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Mark Smith is the best of the PG's still not committed. NU made a run at him but he had no interest. Quote Link to comment
cornheadnation Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I guess I'm just looking at the 3 top uncommitted recruits left by 247sports. None of them have offers from Nebraska. Quote Link to comment

We've got a pretty exciting bunch of players headed to Lincoln this fall and next. Yes I have been following recruiting lately, and yea i am excited that we have got some of the recruits/transfers to commit. But I don't think I would consider them top tier recruits either. I'm talking about the guys who step on campus and are immediate game changers(exception of maybe Copeland?). I think that they can definitely be solid contributors in their first year . But the kind of guys who step on campus out of high school and immediately run the show successfully don't consider Nebraska. Quote Link to comment

Sometimes guys have really odd offer lists, like you will see some top 25 guys with only 12 offers. I got ya. Yea I usually don't really look at those guys cause I really don't give a squak about the dukes, NC's, Kansas etc... and those schools seem to be the only ones who get those players. I was just looking though and thinking why not? Crazier things have happened. I don't understand how Missouri lands the number 1 recruit in the nation and Alabama gets a top ten recruit, so why not at least throw the offer on the table when we have 2 scholarships available. Butbyew typically don't pay much attention to them. Quote Link to comment

Missouri got their guy because his dad was on the staff at Washington and now he's on the staff at Mizzou Bama probably paid a lot of $$$$$$ for their guy Quote Link to comment

spurs1990 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I guess if we went for those top tier guys it'd fit with Miles policy of 1-2 years at Nebraska then done. Quote Link to comment

College BB recruiting isn't the same as CFB recruiting; teams tend to stop recruiting kids once intentions and commitments have been made. Quote Link to comment
