If I counted right, I think we have 8 composite 4 stars on 247 now in this class.

I count seven: Nelson, Taumua, Gradney, Lacy, Hall, Buford and Barney.

Oh....I assumed Kaelin was a composite 4* and he's not.

Didn't realize his team wasn't doing well. With all his highlights, you would imagine they would be a winning team and not 1-4.

excited for this one. Dude can mash and run. 
Only concern is that he run’s a little upright. 
 

he does lower pads and brings the boom whenever needed, so his contact strength isn’t disputed. He’s fast, strong, and appears to have good hands. 
 

I hope he can learn to “lean forward” as he runs a little more as time goes on. 
Other than that, we got gamer, Cornhusker fans!!

Seems like this one will be hard to hold onto.

I don't generally buy the idea of a "must-get" recruit, but he's as close to that as I can think of. Lacy is a dude, and (pending some injury recoveries and decisions) our scholarship RB room next year is:

 

Gabe Ervin rJr. - officially has an injury history so tough to count on, and the limited on field production hasn't yet matched what we hear about in practice

Emmett Johnson rSo. - Starting to show up, but needs to prove he can be an every down guy

Kwinten Ives - RFr - Time will tell but not ready for a role as a true freshman. Which isn't a knock, but I'm not just going to assume he's ready for a major role in 2024

 

Obviously guys develop, and we can get someone from the portal. But I don't think we could find anyone as well-rounded as Lacy if we had to replace him in the class this year, and there is a huge opportunity for a guy to come in and play right away. Hopefully that's appealing to him.

Agreed. Obviously, stars aren't everything... but there's no reason we shouldn't be bringing in at least one 4 star + running back in a class. When you look at what we've got in the stable most are 3 stars across the board.

Our depth chart has to play to our advantage here.  It will either be a portal guy or Lacy starting the first game next year.

 

Ervin has blown out his knee and dislocated his hip.  And he was never the fastest or shiftiest guy to begin with.  I just can't see him coming back week 1 where he was this year.
