Inspired by 247, this thread is for anyone willing to put their predictions out their before the recruits give verbal commits (or sign LOI).

NU is in the driver seat for Foster. It's far from over, but he is not gone to Bama if offered. They will be a strong contender, however I do see him as a Husker.

WR Jimmie Swain is predicted to be N (via 247). He missed our spring game, and has not rescheduled a visit. Any thoughts?

This recruiting class definitely needs some talent in the secondary. Any predictions on which cornerbacks or safeties are likely to commit?

Newell, Darlington, Foster are the only ones I feel comfortable predicting N right now.
We have offered a ton of kids, and we have started extremely slow this year. Seems we have casted a wider net but we aren't focusing on too many individually yet, but we are starting with the spring eval period. Hale just said today he had no idea where he stood with us. Not sure how that can happen.
I am extremely disappointed in the spring game turn out. BRW needs to be a home run. It really seemed like they focused on player development this spring and not recruiting, which is probably a good thing, but we are playing catch up now.

From what it sounds like, might be able to put WR Kenric Young and OT Frank Ragnow on this list.
Optimistic about our chances with CB Naijiel Hale, but not ready to put him on my Crystal Ball list. Definitely on my wish list, though. Already got S Luke Gifford, and I think we are going to pick up ATH Dominique Fenstermacher (who could be slotted for CB), but we need 4+ commits in the secondary this year. So, Hale would be a great pick up.

To revive this thread, here is a new prediction.
With Elmore committed to Minnesota and a strong showing at BRW, I am going to predict Freedom Akinmoladun committing to Big Red.

I think we will see TV Williams, Peyton Newell, and Harrison Phillips all commit before Labor Day weekend. I also think well see Freedom Akinmoladun commit at some point as well as Monte Harrison.
The other spots are a lot of maybe's right now. I imagine a second round of offers will go out as guys have come off our board and committed to other schools already.
