I really hope we can get most of those DB's, especially Shelton, he is a stud. Valentine would be pretty huge too (he is huge).

I highlighted 11 guys who I predict will be in if allowed. Maybe we are surprised and Fuller commits too, but I'm not as hopeful as I once was. So if Fuller commits, that's 12. With the 11 guys we already have committed, that would put us at 23. I am interested in 2 things:

1) How many guys we are REALLY taking in this class

2) Who gets bumped out depending on the number

I'll go ahead and predict who would get bumped out first and go to 5, since 5 getting bumped would put us at 18.

1) Shoff - hopefully we can get him as a walk-on.

2) Standifer - late visit - I would assume that he only is allowed to commit if we have a spot open

3) Curry - the staff wants VV more

4) Smith - If all of those CB's commit, Leggett may get moved to S

5) Ford - If the staff is forced to choose, I think Ford is likely to be tossed out of the mix. It's a shame because with some added weight, he could be really good.

Crossed out anybody that we're pretty much out of it for, not interested in, or are EXTREME back-up plans that I don't see happening. Leggett committed to Marshall today, so he's out.

as for the rest, I see Peat, Fuller (hopefully), Valentine, Shelton, Ford, Smith, and Bush-Loo committing. if Fuller does not (and it's pretty much 50/50 to me right now on whether or not he will pick Nebraska), we should almost certainly take Alonzo Moore. if Valentine doesn't commit, we should take Curry (though I could see us taking both, if Curry commits first and Valentine wants in). Standifer should be the back-up plan for Ford or Shelton...at the moment, I'd say we'll get Bush-Loo, but if he does not commit, I think we won't take a TE, and give a scholarship to one of the guys on the outside looking in (Standifer, Cross, Shoff, Curry, Moore)...I'd like to have all of them, though, but I just don't see us taking more than 18, MAYBE 19 in this class.

 
It's been really interesting to watch Nebraska recruiting this past year. There is almost a complete lack of commonality with the kids being targeted by Ohio State.

Typically the same names pop up in regards to the other regional powers TSUN, Notre Dame, Penn State and even the slightly less 'name' schools Wisconsin, Sparty etc but it is almost as if Nebraska is recruiting in a completely different world than everyone else in the B1G. To some extent that really is accurate given Nebraska has traditionally been more oriented towards the areas to it's south & west but it is still interesting to see.

Of course. As the ties to the conference grow stronger alignments will shift. It's still something I've found fascinating to see.

Even before they joined the league despite being more focused on the mid-Atlantic Penn State was still far more in line with ND, TSUN & Ohio State in who they looked at (they are of course also much closer to the center of mass for recruits in the B1G).

So far Nebraska doesn't seem to have much contact with even the no brainers in the class of 2013 from Ohio (Jalin Marshall, Cam Burrows, Malik Zaire etc).

Pelini recruiting strategy memo stolen from a coaches only meeting:

-------------------------------------------

To anybody recruiting Ohio:

If they're not from Youngstown they don't exist.

That is all

-------------------------------------------

FWIW, This memo may have also come from a meeting about replacing assistant coaches....
