Again,

 

really appreciate the updates but PRETTY PLEASE put these updates in their profiles. 

[suh_fan93 2,283]

Thanks for the tips.  I'm doing this pretty quickly either at work or home but also not every single offer has a profile thread made at the time their offer is tweeted.  Anyway sorry to  be a bother as far as where a post should go...

Numbers are a bit fluid until the 2019 class is finished and see who leaves after this semester.  But reports are the staff is still planning on 22-25 at this point.  Numbers for each position are just my guess right now based on need and current roster.  We'll get a better idea what the staff is looking for in the coming months.

 

Just a reminder that my criteria for this list is to try to keep it to guys who seem to be legitimately interested in Nebraska, which in my book mainly means setting up a visit or having us in their Top 5/10/whatever list.  There are a ton of guys who say they're interested who never end up even visiting.  So the list is pretty small right now but there are a few guys who have put out a favorites list and we'll start to see more as guys visit this spring.

 

I'm sure I've missed a few so let me know if you notice someone.

Nebraska Recruiting: 2020 Could Be Powered by Regional Talent

Quote

Let’s take a look at some already known 2020 targets who live within 500 miles of Nebraska’s campus:

 

[BIG ERN 2,021]

We got our OTs this year. Time to work on the interior of the offensive line. 

[Stumpy1 2,468]

I bet we take a couple OTs in this class also.   When we have players like Corcoran,  Atteberry,  Mills,  Gentry and Raym who are all big time OTs and close by,  you can't ignore them.  I am sure some of them can play inside and perhaps will.  

[suh_fan93 2,283]

OLB from North Carolina. (Clinton)

 

 

SDE out of NJ.

If the NFL has taught us anything, it's that half of good CFB OT's are really just tall guards.

[BIG ERN 2,021]

How many schollies do you guys think we will offer in-state kids? I think only 3 are deserving at this point, and I'd guess 1-2 more by the end of the year.

Looks like 5 with ratings at this point, who are you thinking? I don't know enough about them beyond the top two WR. The Bellevue RB surprised me by being almost a .86

Betts and Watts for sure and I think Miko will end up getting one. He would make a good Nickel defender or WR for us given his athelticism. He reminds me a little of Domann in HS with more speed. Ducker is a possability but I don't believe he will get one, at this point.

Younger Gifford might be hard pressed to get one too

Speculation is he'll have one by next fall. 

[Huskers93-97 1,795]

When do the 2020 commits start? From what I remember it’s dead until April

So, now that the spring game is sold out and the atmosphere will be as awesome as a practice can be, I’m jopeing we can get some studs here to see it.

I'm guessing it's still Frost's philosophy to do official visits in the fall, but maybe some will make unofficials.

I agree with the reason he wants to, but he has to push up that schedule considering we will probably see close to 90% early signees next year. Nebraska can sell an atmosphere that is unrivaled amongst spring games and can be a useful substitute.

[BigRedBuster 13,010]

We will have a good contingent here for the spring game.

Absolutely. Frost has about 10 unused OV’s that expire this summer so they will use them on high priority kids that want to commit before senior year. Spring game environment at UNL is likely as good as about 20 other P5 schools true game day environment.

This staff is still a few months behind in this cycle so Spring Game 2019 may not be used that much, however starting in 2020 I like your idea of going full court for the SG.  There are probably 30 programs that can sell a great game day atmosphere, however only about 5 that can say the same about the SG.

I think you're underestimating the # of P5 schools with crappy game day environments.

I mean, no one in the country plays a home game after the early signing day.... so there really isn't any "moving up" of the schedule if your goal was to get them here for a game in the first place. 

 

If we win the 9-10 games this year that we should.... this class could be pretty loaded. 

[StPaulHusker 7,738]

So is this the year that selling out the spring game and the home game atmosphere is finally going to pay dividends with recruiting?

Why do you assume it hasn't paid dividends with recruiting? You don't know where our recruiting would be without it.

You’re right.  Should have phrased it differently.

[Mavric 17,213]

If 2019 was the year of the Garretts, 2020 is the year of the Jalens.  We currently have eight offers out to Jalens for this class.

[BIG ERN 2,021]

I wonder if we re-offer Dominick Watt barring academics. GCCC rarely ever threw the ball, but he can be a solid option still IMO 

[Mavric 17,213]

 

[Sker4Ever 179]

Love this staff, love the 2019 class.

 

With that said, all I hear is about how much momentum there is for the 2020 class. However, I don’t see it. If there was so much momentum and the relationships were so much better than the 18 or 19 classes wouldn’t we have more than 1 commit?

I hear ya. Will show more concern if we haven’t ramped up commitment list by May, until then it’s looking quite good. 

 

Need to lock down Betts, Watts, Concoran and Hutmacher and it’s all downhill from there.

I’m not concerned about them being able to bring in classes like the kart two. 

 

But, if they are going to improve on them, this is the year to start. 

 

To get a lot better, they are going to have to show much improvement on the field. So, I don’t expect a big jump in top recruits to commit till the season is underway. 

 

We we will have some over the summer, but I don’t expect those to be much different recruits than we are used to.

I guess I'm just afraid of what might be if we miss on the big fish like Corcoran, Watts, Betts, Hutmacher, etc. I fear the blow we could take if someone like Watts goes to ND. Could stall some momentum from the last classes. But then again, I wouldn't trust anyone more than Scott to keep those guys close to home.

I think we have a great shot to lock up corcoran, betts and hutmacher. Watts IDK. But honestly i would not consider watts a big fish. He is rated like .85 at the moment. Yes he is local. But if he was from anywhere other than Nebraska we would all be saying who cares he is .85.

If someone like Watts goes to ND...it's a loss of a player we would like to have, but not the end of the world.
