Barrett Ruud is the man! Well done by him and the staff to land him as Ruud basically lived at Burke. It also helped that Notre Dame backed off after they filled the ILB position but that is just our gain. Another thing that might have helped is they told him he was #1 on our board and that had to make him feel great.
Really big because this is a position of need for 2019 and he will most likely come in and play right away. He would be more of a role player and not a starter though.
Nice! Thanks for the input! It just goes to show you how willing this staff is to go after in-state talent. They will do whatever it takes to get them here and they will use every advantage they can to do so.I saw him at least 10 times during the recruiting period this spring. Frost and Chinander made multiple appearances as well.
BIGGEST COMMITS DURING A QUIET WEEK
There weren’t as many commitments this past week as there have been in the last many weeks, but there were still enough big ones to rank the top eight or so. Here goes…
LB Nick Henrich, Nebraska – How does a high three-star get the nod over some four stars? Because I really like Henrich on film. I mean a lot. Granted, I haven’t been able to see him in person, but based on what I see on film, I think he’s going to be a star at Nebraska.
