Honestly, and this is my opinion, i really don't think any guy has a chance of getting an offer. 200+ offers out there to high school kids and only 2 of them have offers (D.J. Jones and Ricky Henry). If we were going to offer anyone else, we would have, but it's not going to happen. The only case i know of that COULD get an offer is Derrick Russel. I know the coaches have said to him that he could get a written offer from NU if he has a strong showing this season and impresses them this season (so kinda like a verbal offer contingent upon certain conditions if you want to look at it that way). Other then that, no i don't believe so

 
Cole Bunner is the lineman from Elkhorn who impressed at camp.

Derrick Russell is the tall, lanky 6'4 WR who just started playing football a couple years ago.

 
I thought there were a couple kids from Omaha North? I thought there was a write up in the OWH a couple weeks ago. Isn't there a wr from Lincoln also?

 
I supposed if someone this fall out of nowhere comes onto the radar screen, perhaps NU could offer.

Say, what about those two North High kids?: Phil Bates, Jr. and Niles Paul. According to the OWH, they have been turning some heads. Is NU keeping a close eye on those two? I think they are going to be juniors. Do you think in the future they have the potential to receive offers from NU?

Yes, both guys are being watched by the coaches. Scott Downing is the one responsible for recruiting bates. Bates did himself a favor by visiting the NU summer camp this year and if he has a strong performance this year, he could get a verbal offer as early as march of next year. If he's recruited, he will be recruited as a DB and not a QB (even though he attended Nebraska's QB camp and tested at a 4.48 in the 40 yard dash and a 32 inch vertical).

As far as Paul is concerned, he already has me drooling. I am anxious to see him play this fall and will make sure to catch at least 3 games. He's a tall, physical DB and doesn't get outplayed from what i heard. He is next years version of D.J. Jones (meaning he should be a high 4 star). One thing that helps is that he's Tierre Greens cousin, so NU is already in good with him

 
Why wouldn't they offer Bullocks from Lincoln? Aren't KSU, KU, Iowa, and OU going after him? I think when it is all said and done we will sign a couple more in-state guys.

I hope you mean OU as in Ohio University and not Oklahoma, because Oklahoma isn't even interested in him at the moment, nor is he on their radar

As far as Iowa is concerned, he went up with Bullocks and came back with no offer, so that should tell you something. Same thing for his KSU camp in Manhattan as part of the Nike training camp. KU as far as i know has talked to him butr nothing serious has come out of it. Right now, he's waiting on his first offer and it could be KSU.

According to the Husker Illustrated season preview it Oklahoma. Maybe things have changed since then but that is what I'm going by. Rivals doesn't have them listed to so who knows.

I will say one thing I'm glad we didn't get that QB from Millard North. Crap that guy can't even make it through a whole High School season let alone a College one.

According to the OWH there is a RB/S from Millard North that the Big Red are looking at. Corey Young is his name and he is atransfer from Millard South. It said NU, ISU, Iowa, KSU, and CSu are looking at him. It said he is 6 foot 200 lbs and runs a 4.5 40.

 
Look who made the early top 100 list for 2007 from Nebraska like i mentioned earlier in this thread

Another thing to mention is NU's main QB target for next year Ryan Mallett is on that list. NU could be looking at another 4 star QB next year and a possible Elite 11 QB for the third year in a row

Heavy leans don't really mean that much at this point. I am sure you are aware of that. Munir Prince was a Iowa Commit his junior year and he decommitted to Iowa and verballed to Notre Dame. Remember also Ryan Perriloux was a Texas Commit and he decommitted from Texas to LSU. I don't really think the coaches care how heavy of a lean a guy is. If they want him, they will pamper him and show him enough interest
