***2018 Recruiting***

Justin McGriff Signing friday

Cameron Brown announces and signs at 12

Jaron Woodyard signs at 2

Greg bell announces and signs at 1145

Messiah swinson announces and signs friday

Tate wildeman- any idea when he signs today?

Will Honas- any updates on him?
Honas may sign today between NU, K-State, and Iowa, but he also got a late offer from Wisconsin.  If Honas doesn't sign today, he may look to visit Wisconsin in January and decide after that.  Iowa and Wisconsin start their Spring semesters a week after NU.  If he doesn't sign with NU today, it's not ideal for NU.

 
Depth at DB was a real issue in 2017.  Seemed like they were just throwing guys a different spots after a few injuries occurred.

 
I think that was more of Cavanaugh not understanding his full roster, but the OL does seem heavy on interior line positions and thin on OT's.


This.

I don't think depth was much of an issue.  You can always have more but we weren't bad.  It was figuring out which guys should be playing.

Apparently no one getting any reps if you were a starter doesn't help develop depth.

 
This is pretty impressive decommitment list. Guessing we would be top 10 top 15 class if all these kids stuck with NU.

goodrich and bookie would have played right away next year.  are they both gone for good?

 
This.

I don't think depth was much of an issue.  You can always have more but we weren't bad.  It was figuring out which guys should be playing.

Apparently no one getting any reps if you were a starter doesn't help develop depth.
It's amazing that Farniok started the year at RT, got injured and then was featured on the side of a milk carton, and then finished the year starting at RG.  This was after Decker couldn't sniff the field behind Cole Conrad, and then after Conrad was injured, Decker came in and the ENTIRE o-line play improved.

The way Cavanaugh handled the o-line room and seemed like he was just throwing darts at the wall was infuriating.

 
It will be interesting to see how things play out. It seems like most teams left a few spots open intentionally. I know USC is expecting a big January like they always get.

7 more recruits seems like a lot and that’s assuming Masry, Smith, and Woodyard are signing. Not sure we had much choice given the timeframe, and I have no doubt that our coaches will wow a lot of recruits over the next month, but it could get a little dicey with the numbers.
