Omaha is weird right now with recruiting wise, the N doesn't carry near the weight it use to. I'm sure a main focus for the staff will be to plant a flag in Omaha, the rest of the state is already at that point (thankfully). Year 3, as relationships are built and traction is gained....yes red flag. 2 Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Look at the kids we've offered in the last four recruiting classes (2016-2019): Committed soon after being offered: Nelson - Non Omaha Snodgrass - Non Omaha Piper - Non Omaha Jurgen - Non Omaha Mapieu - Non Omaha Allen - Non Omaha Walker - Non Omaha Bradley - Omaha Stille - Non Omaha Englehaupt - Non Omaha Drag out/Comitted elsewhere: Hickman - Omaha Henrich - Omaha Williams - Non Omaha Fant - Omaha Bubak - Non Omaha (actually committed N right away but flipped after coaching change) Relatively speaking we've handled our business in the rest of the state the last 4 classes and kind of struggled in Omaha. It will take time to turn that around. Side note: I think landing Hickman and Henrich would speed up the process greatly. 4 Quote Link to comment

Year 3, as relationships are built and traction is gained....yes red flag. I would be in line with type of thought. Realizing how high an in-state prospect (assuming it is Henrich) is on the board for Frost, it is a blow always to not get your top recruit. It would be harder to stomach for the staff that he is an in-state recruit. However, I wonder where the fault lines of blame are. Do you put the brunt of the blame on a new staff in Year 1 trying to rebuild the reputation of a program nationally and, don't kind yourself, in-state as well? Quote Link to comment

There is certainly work to be made up in Omaha, which is especially strange given how many former players are coaches in the city. It points to how damaged the relationship between the U and the schools in the city became over the last 15 years. Quote Link to comment

But it won't happen overnight. Quote Link to comment

Probably should get it locked down. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I don't know why Frost could not lock down Omaha recruiting over the last 4 Nebraska classes. I would rate him rather poor in that area. 5 Quote Link to comment

While it would sting if Henrich commits elsewhere we can't overlook the fact that he's an Iowa legacy, Iowa has mollywhopped Nebraska for the past few years and they've also had a history of churning out some outstanding LBs. 3 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 People have to realize as well that not all kids are fans of in-state teams believe it or not. As mentioned, his dad played at Iowa as well. As long as the coaches are offering kids who deserve a spot and continually recruit them that is all we can ask for. Hell, Scott Frost of all people even chose Stanford. 2 Quote Link to comment
