SIGNED OT Jimmy Fritzsche [Nebraska - Signed LOI]

[swmohusker]

Tired of these project kids our staff keeps offerring that a playoff contender is trying to steal.  Doesnt this staff know to just sign all the, 6'7 315 pound,5-star offensive tackles?

And slow!

We have told him if he doesn't sign next week his spot is gone.

 

Clemson told him to take his time and OV in Jan.

Welp this doesn't sound good.

Would really suck for him if he doesn’t sign with us on the 19th and OV’s with Clemson in Jan and then Clemson gets their OT targets and no longer has room for him.

 

Not sure how plausible that is for him but it’s happened before

Why would we give him an ultimatum? Do we have back up plan(s)?

We want him to s#!t or get off the pot. We feel comfortable with the crop of OL we have. We like this kid a lot but arent going to sit around and wait. He is a plan B for Clemson is what it sounds like. He could end up not going to either if he messes this up. Clemson is slow playing this.

Reading tea leaves here with the various recruit comments of late, it would seem we are either tighter on applicable counters than some believe and/or we are in on enough big fish that are worth having room for if things fall our way.

If you look at our board and who we are trending well with, it's easier to see why we aren't going to wait around. We have a solid class at 22 and are sitting well with some bigger fish on our board. I would also be shocked if we aren't still active in the graduate transfer market following bowl season and then in Spring.

One week out.  22 commits right now.  25 open spots plus however many over-signs.  Word is we are taking 30 - though a couple might be grad transfers.  Maybe a spot or two for walk-ons as well.

Having Clemson slow play him does make this project look a little more like a prospect

What doesn't sound good?  Clemson is treading water - NU making this demand shows we are solid with others

Yes! For me, I'm elated to see the Clemson offer.  Now, let's win this one.

I believe so.  It is from a south carolina insider.
