... as 2021s like TE Fidone take center stage

By PARKER GABRIEL Lincoln Journal Star 34 min ago  

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa — As Thomas Fidone broke into the open court off a steal on Friday night at Lewis Central High, the crowd noise swelled the way it does when everybody knows what comes next. Fidone, a 6-foot-5, 220-pound forward in basketball and a four-star, nationally coveted class of 2021 tight end in football, took off, c$%ked the ball back behind his head and went for the two-handed hammer dunk.  LINK

 =======================================  

Nice little article in the LJS about Fidone.  Lubick and Beckton were there watching their (hopefully) TE recruit for next year's class.

It's still early but Teddy at #58, Fidone #60, and Dickerson the #3 overall CB per 247 as early commits is looking promising for a run at a top 10 class. All we would need is to have a solid season of ~7-8 wins and this recruiting class might be one for the books.

Not saying we will get either but a chance still on Bollers (129th) overall and Lewis (29th) overall

I agree. We have a lot of high end talent giving us a hard look. If we could string together 7 wins showing good progress this year I think we could see a huge uptick in our landing these kids and recruiting in general going to the next level. The fact this many high level kids are looking at us after 3 straight pathetic seasons is amazing.

Has Nebraska ever signed 2 top-60 kids? 

It just kills me hearing people say "7-8 wins". If you look at our schedule, this team should be GUARANTEED to start 7-0...

Theyre aiming for a bunch of pretty good recruits but dont necessarily discount some of the lower rated ones.  I think they are doing a dam good job of finding good quality guys early enough to build relationships with kids, coaches, families etc.  Cross recruiting is also a real benefit.  I am no insider or recruiting expert but it appears that lots of schools are following us all over on a majority of guys we are chasing. 

I expect us to have as many as 14 commits by Sept 1 and grab several top notch guys by Oct 10th
