Decked Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Not to be an a$$ but why do you care? I’m sure they probably did offer him but there is no mutual interest anyway. Quote Link to comment

I’m not saying we would land him. tOSU offered him and we run pretty much the same O as them so why not go after him Quote Link to comment

If we were a player in his recruitment you’d know that by now at this stage into the process. Nebraska would love to get boatloads of 5 stars every year. But the interest is not mutual due to a variety of factors like geographic location, academics, bad football, & fit in scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I think this will actually line up well with how recruits project to Nebraska. And it seems to make good sense. 247Sports streamlines position projections in rankings database Quote QUARTERBACK The previous designations separating quarterback into DUAL and PRO categories are gone. Now quarterbacks are all ranked together. The DUAL label was probably used too often under the old system, and dividing the QB pool into two different categories seemed superfluous upon further review. RUNNING BACK Along the same lines, gone is the APB (all-purpose back) designation as those prospects are now listed with the rest of the running backs under the RB designation. Given the state of today's game and the prevalence of pass-catching backs, keeping all backs under the same umbrella makes sense in accuracy and functionality. OFFENSIVE LINE Offensive linemen will no longer be separated into three categories of specific positions -- OT (tackle), OG (guard), and C (center). Instead, OT remains for tackle prospects, while the new IOL (interior offensive line) consolidates the guard-to-guard prospects. We certainly expect that the OT vs. IOL debate will arise in plenty of individual cases, but prefer this more streamlined approach to the O-line group as a whole. DEFENSIVE LINE AND EDGE These changes represent perhaps the most anticipated by the 247Sports staff, and one can probably point to this particular position discussion as the catalyst for the changes as a whole. Gone are the SDE (strong-side end), WDE (weak-side end), and DT (defensive tackle) designations. Instead, front-line defenders will fall under the DL (defensive line) and EDGE projections. Like the OT/IOL discussion, we expect plenty of debate regarding players who could be seen as DL or EDGE, and many prospects could fall into either. But eliminating SDE and WDE was certainly needed as those spots saw too much crossover relative to physical specs. Putting these players in DL and EDGE will help get guys in more desirable spots from a projection standpoint. LINEBACKER The EDGE designation will also include many prospects who may formerly fall under OLB (outside linebacker), which is now gone. ILB (inside linebacker) is gone as well, as traditional off-ball linebacker prospects are now designated under a simplified LB label. Too often under the old categories, the OLB, WDE, and SDE groups presented players who could wind up flip-flopping to the other positions. By going from five labels (SDE, WDE, DT, OLB, ILB) to three (DL, EDGE, LB), we expect the defensive front seven projections to be more accurate, functional, and streamlined than ever. STAYING THE SAME WR (wide receiver), TE (tight end), CB (cornerback), S (safety), ATH (athlete), K (kicker), and P (punter) remain the same as previously designated. Safety is one of the more all-encompassing designations in today's game relative to the spectrum of heights, weights, and physical specs, and combining it with cornerback to create a general DB projection would be oversimplification. 1 Quote Link to comment

Absolutely must have a winning record this year and preferably 8+ to maintain any recruiting momentum at all. I'll be scared to see how this class finishes if we go 5-7 again. 2 Quote Link to comment
