***2018 Recruiting***

We currently have 15 commits.  Plus two transfers - I wonder if we're holding a scholarship spot for Vedral.  We could sign 22 or 21 if Vedral has a spot.

Not sure we're taking a second QB now with Vedral on board and Tago not visiting this weekend.  Numbers are getting tight with seven spots left - six if Vedral gets a scholly.  Of course that also depend on the academic situations of Mapieu and Smith.  Mapieu is sounding better now.  Not sure where Smith is.

I would say we're for sure taking 1 RB or RB/WR hybrid, 1 OL, 1 DL and 1 DB.  I think we'd take another RB/WR, OL and DB if we can get the guys we want.  I'm sure we'd take JJB or Tannor but I think we could get by with the LBs we have, plus I kind of think Jurgens gets moved.

As well as the weekend appears to have gone and we didnt have any high school commits yet. I have a feeling we hit one today. With our limited spots left maybe that would spur a flurry to make sure they hold their spot.

This happens every time. They need to go home and talk it over. Some like Miles Jones have given updated timelines. They will come. It's just not as frequently on the weekend as people would like.

 
I really suck at knowing our staff names, what position they coach and recognizing them. 

Dont know now why I’m having such a hard time with this staff.

Random weather note:

It was cold in Lincoln.

In somewhat-related news, the four remaining teams in the NFL playoffs are New England, Philadelphia, Minnesota and Jacksonville.  Could have swapped Pittsburgh for Jacksonville and made it a clean sweep for the north.

Minnesota plays in a dome, you dummy.

All I know if I am very excited with the level of talent we are getting to campus on such short notice. I expect this staff to out recruit several of our previous staffs. They also know what they want and need to run their system. I am PUMPED!

Is this sentiment based off of any metrics like stars or offer lists, or is it more of just a 'feeling'?

I'm not saying this is an indictment on Frost, but we're currently ranked 8th in the B1G and 3rd in the West.

I think when you look at where the class was after all the defections, the emphasis on juco patchwork to help turnover the roster, transfers, and the amount of visits we have secured given the time constraints and limited pool of talent, it's easy to feel this staff is doing a bang up job. I agree though, no time to celebrate either. Let's see how this class finishes and if they can carry this energy and buzz around the program into next year.

Ok that makes more sense. Thanks.

Apparently I was not correct on this.  I understood it to be per cycle.  But now I'm seeing that the OV count doesn't reset until August.  Maybe when they made the change to earlier OVs they didn't change the OV reset date to match.

At any rate, it sounds like the understanding right now is we won't have very many OVs to use this spring because the "cycle" doesn't reset until August.

Which the bad thing about this year kids can do spring official visits and the official visits number doesn’t reset until August. We’ve been able to get quite a few kids to unofficial the spring game before so hopefully that continues.

Other side of the coin on the early signing period:

You have a bunch of your guys signed so you can focus on the guys you still need.  Everyone else has a bunch of their guys signed so the few high-end prospects you're after are the same ones a bunch of others are also after.

 
We currently have 15 16 commits plus two transfers.  We could sign 22.

Not sure we're taking a second QB now with Vedral on board and Tago not visiting last weekend.  Numbers are getting tight with seven spots left.  Of course that also depend on the academic situations of Mapieu and Smith.  Mapieu is sounding better now.  Not sure where Smith is.

I would say we're for sure taking 1 RB or RB/WR hybrid, 1 OL, 1 DE and 1 DB.  I think we'd take another RB/WR, OL and DB if we can get the guys we want.  I'm sure we'd take JJB or Tannor but I think we could get by with the LBs we have, plus I kind of think Jurgens gets moved.

Miles Jones (WR/RB), Jarrett Bell (OL), Casey Rogers (DE - committed) and Cam'ron Jones (DB - possible hold-up) are looking like good chances to commit at the first four spots.  Tannor seems interested - we might miss out on JJB.  Carson is sounding iffy (thinking he's probably out with Rogers committed).  I think Henry, Sampson and maybe Tago are backup plans.  Also a couple other guys we're working on but not sure how interested they are yet.
