***2018 Recruiting***

Frost is a young coach who just had a ton of success. Add that with our facilities and history and I dont think it should be nearly that difficult to get a good(10-25 in the nation) Class.(This is more with a full year to recruit. What Frost did this year was tremendous and not something he and the staff just "fell" into)

While I get it is easy to knock Riley, the fact that he had kids like Bookie, Parrish, Moore and others even interested does deserve some respect. I think anyone with a pulse knew we werent going anywhere with Riley and yet he still had kids interested.

It is refreshing to know we can truly sell our coaching staff now and to others points, I cant wait to see what he does with a full year of recruiting.

 
Next time we find ourselves in a battle for a recruit with Riley up in Oregon State. We just need to tell them listen- I know he is promising ice cream with sprinkles but we have "f%&k$in& ice cream in nebraska too"

 
Riley's entire tenure is a lot funnier now that he is gone.

Word is 21-22 is still the number. Masry likely not part of the class which means 4 more spots. 

Coaches prefer 1 Oline (Bell), 1 OLB  (JJB), 1 DB (CJones) and 1 offensive skill guy (Washington). The other visitors are backup options that can be added if we miss on that above or a current scholly guy is no longer. 

 
If the DT from Texas is still visiting next weekend I wonder if he’s taking Masry’s spot.  He’s rated higher and has a much better offer list.

So are the coaches going to host Henry and Washington on the same weekend with one spot available? 

 
We currently have 19 commits plus two transfers.  We could sign 22/23/24 depending on whether Mapieu and Smith actually sign.  Sounding like Mapieu will not sign.   Smith sure indicates that he will be signing.  23 seems most likely right now with Mapieu not signing but (probably) still showing up later.

  • One OL: Bell -> Hall -> Canty -> Sampson
  • One OLB: JJB ->  Baldonado
  • One RB: Washington -> Henry -> Bryant?
  • One or maybe two DBs: Jones likely commits Saturday -> Palmer back in the picture -> Taylor/Torain
  • Tago an option but not a priority (IMO)
  • We'd be open to adding another WR but probably only if we miss out on other spots: Hunt -> Hall
  • Maybe Ogbonnia at DT if we miss at a couple spots
