Time to revisit this thread and see where recruiting stands for Nebraska. In the last update, i had the following guys listed as likely to commit to Nebraska
NamelessHuskers' list of next possible recruits
Andre Jones- committed
Jordan McMichael -committed to Boston College
Adrian Clayborn
Antwan Cobb
Steve Allen -committed
Brandon Johnson -committed
A.J Wallace
Gerald McCoy
Bruce Campbell
Devin Ross
J.B Walton
Rulon Davis -committed
4 out of 12 prospects have committed. Not bad so far, but things have changed a little bit with some of the recruits, while others have us leading.
Antwan Cobb: Nebraska is still looking to wrap up its lone position in the running back department. Antwan Cobb still remains as NU's main target, followed by JUCO running back
Kenny Wilson who is ripping up the opposition this year. The coaching staff would like to continue recruiting high school prospects instead of having to dip back into the JUCO ranks. Nebraska currently leads for Cobb, but Florida is beginning to recruit Cobb as well. Chances of landing Cobb are still in the 80% chance and it's only a matter of time.
Adrian Clayborn: Nebraska still leads his list of teams and the high doesn't seem to have worn off. With already 2 visits taken to Nebraska and Texas Tech, and a visit to Missouri coming up December 2nd and another Michigan visit sometime in December, Nebraska is still in good shape for the lead. Right now, Nebraska leads for him followed by Missouri and then Texas Tech. This will come down to a Nebraska vs Missouri recruiting battle again, similar to Chris Brook's recruitment last year. A return visit with his mother should seal the deal. If not, then a in-home visit could wrap up his recruitment for Nebraska. Chances of committing at 65%
A.J Wallace and J.B Walton: 2 guys who visited this past weekend and both rated Nebraska a perfect 10. They both had the chance to hang out with the position coaches and other players and said that their visits could not have gone any better. A.J Wallace is making his third trip to Nebraska, which gives Nebraska a slight edge over the opposition (Ohio St 9/9, Florida St-9/30, Nebraska 10/28, Unofficial visit to Penn St vs Ohio st, and 2 remaining official visits to Florida and LSU most likely). J.B Walton also gave NU a high 10 and said that Nebraska leads with Penn St. This could swing either way and Nebraska's chances are very good with Walton at this point. Walton has already eliminated Oklahoma, Tennessee, Ohio St, and Maryland. Walton and Wallace could end up committing together, thus the Penn St/Nebraska recruiting battle could be the key. Right now, Nebraska has a 45% chance with both prospects.
Bruce Campbell
Nebraska is currently battling Virginia, Maryland, and Michigan St for his services. With 1 visit down already to Nebraska, and no others scheduled, distance could play a factor in his recruitment, thus leaving Michigan St and Nebraska on the outside looking in. One thing that helps Nebraska is the need for offensive lineman, so playing time could offset that fact if that does become a factor. Chances with Campbell are at 30% at the moment.
Devin Ross: Having already visited Nebraska and Oregon and enjoyed both visits, Ross has eliminated USC from contention (which is good for NU). One team that still has a grip on him is UCLA. UCLA is waiting for his transcripts and should he be eligible for UCLA, look for UCLA to lock up his verbal (right now, it seems like he will qualify for UCLA). If he doesn't qualify, he will be looking at another PAC-10 school to commit to. Getting California kids is important, but getting them to verbal is another problem all together. Right now, chances of landing Ross are 5%
Gerald McCoy: One prospect who has been keeping mum about which schools he really likes. He has been hard to get a read on, and quite honestly, it's hard to say if NU is in the mix or not. McCoy who was listed as a 4 star prospect and has now been upgraded to a 5 star prospect after putting up some huge defensive numbers this year has several teams hot on his trail. Notre Dame has already gotten a visit from him (10/14) and other 3 teams are lined up for visits (USC 11/5, Virginia Tech 11/25, Tennessee 12/10), thus leaving NU and Oklahoma battling for the remaining official visit. McCoy however has taken a couple of unofficial visits to the local backyard team Oklahoma and is familiar with the OU staff. Thus Nebraska could get a visit if McCoy decides to take one to Nebraska over Miami. John Blake has been calling him a couple of times a week to check in on how he's doing, so all hope is not lost yet. Right now, Nebraska is at 10% for a visit. He could end up committing before he plays in the US Army All American game January 7th.
There are 3 players who are very close to committing to Nebraska and almost did on their visit.
Perry Dorrestein from Illinois,
Jerry Brown from Missouri, and
James Poe from from Florida. Another recruit who is likely to commit, but still looking around to make sure is
