*** 2020 Recruiting ***

[Mavric]

Reports are the staff is still planning on 22-23 at this point.  Wants to hold a couple spots open for transfers.

 

Word is we are still trying to figure out if we want another OL or not.  With Piper and Banks moving to offense, we aren't in bad shape with young guys.  Considering a JUCO or a HS kid but also might pass on taking another in favor of another WR or OLB, which we have been hitting pretty hard with JUCO offers lately.

This cycle, we’re looking at taking Herrig or someone late between the first and second signing days if a good one falls to us. 
 

I don’t think we’ll turn away a single WR that wants N. Probably the worst position group on this team. We’ve got room for 26, I see us taking 23 and holding 3 for transfers.

Lot of work to put in to get 10+ more kids to commit. I see the class ending up around 18th still

Frost and Chinander did say that after how s#!tty our season is going they are just going to have to work harder right.

If this class ends up ranked 18th after the last two turd sandwich seasons give this staff a medal and then pray to the football gods our coaches can actually start utilizing the most talent we've had on roster in decades.

It would be an astonishing sales job.

If we can pull off beating Iowa next week I think that would go a long way when it comes to recruiting. It would end the regular season on a positive note, give us a bowl game, and give us 2-3 more wins than last year. This season has sucked a$$ but winning the last 2 games would make it a lot easier for them to sell the idea they can turn things around. It’s a pretty huge game for us. Maybe it will help us a little bit that Iowa isn’t playing for the division.

I mean ... if we don't make a bowl they wouldn't have those pesky bowl practices getting in the way of recruiting.

I am sure Iowa will be plenty motivated since they hate Nebraska and have an opportunity to keep us out of a bowl

Yes, but going to the B1G championship would've added to that. All they have now is keeping us out and going to a better game.

 

Although on the flip side, more pressure can be a bad thing.

Ehhh making or not making a bowl game isn't a ton of pressure imo. If this was to go to Indy that would be a different story

I was thinking more of Iowa’s pressure if they were playing for a division title.

The average player rating this year sure has been on a slow decline with every commit

We have some Florida guys hopefully we can snag that should change that trend.
