Life and games must go on... Nebraska is 3-2 and has a chance to flip the script on the season this weekend, they are confident they can and are hosting a ton of big name recruits to do it. It's throwing a lot eggs in the we think we can beat Wisconsin basket but hey, if you're Mike Riley that's one of the only baskets you have left to throw into. Here's who I have confirmed visiting as of now:
Micah Parsons (5-Star OLB) [Harrisburg, PA] - So far Parson's recruitment has been weird. For a while everyone thought he was going to OSU but that door appears to be closed. It seems down to Nebraska or Penn State (who he was formerly committed to) and Penn State seems to be way out in front as they opened the doors back up a few weeks ago (and being a Top 5 team doesn't hurt). But Parsons is serious about his interest in Nebraska and will be making a trip with his dad this weekend. Nebraska wins and show shim a good time and they could get out in front with a difference maker on defense.
Brenden Radley-Hiles (4-Star CB) [Bradenton, FL] - Bookie is making a return trip to Nebraska this weekend much to the enjoyment of fans. The current #1 recruit in the class is having a heck of a senior year and has seen his stock rise dramatically (still think he could end up a 5-star at some point). He's close with Donte Williams and the rest of the staff as well as cousin Tyjon Lindsey. But it's always good to remind him why he chose Nebraska in the first place.
Tommy Bush (4-Star, WR) [Schertz, TX] - Bush is the type of player Nebraska simply doesn't have at WR right now and given Nebraska's depth at WR he could be an instant impact play maker. 6'5" 191 lbs with great hands and better athleticism running an electronically timed 4.47 forty earlier this year. Home state schools Texas and Baylor will have a say but Nebraska getting a visit is huge.
TJ Pledger (4-Star, RB) [Bradenton, FL] - Give Nebraska credit, they have never let off the gas pedal with Pledger and they hope that his OV this weekend could swing things in their favor. Nebraska doesn't really have a go-to back right now and Oklahoma (where TJ is committed) has a few Freshmen stealing the spotlight this season. Could opportunity swing things in Nebraska's favor? It's tough to tell but getting him on campus is a good thing.
Bryan Hightower (4-Star, WR) [Bradenton, FL] - Nebraska wants two more receivers in this class and they would love those two to be Bush and Hightower. Nebraska was Hightower's first offer and he has been wavering a bit on his Miami commit in recent weeks. Another IMG star, Nebraska has a shot at flipping him with Joshua Moore and Bookie both in his ear this weekend.
Chase Williams (4-Star, CB) [Corona, CA] - The long time Nebraska commit was rumored to be looking around a bit due to Nebraska's uncertain situation at HC. Bringing him in for this game could go a long way in securing his commitment. Nebraska beats Wisconsin and starts to circle the wagons around Riley and this would definitely shore up the Williams commitment.
Cameron Brown (4-Star, WR) [St. Louis, MO] - The two time Nebraska commit will be in town once again and Brown is looking forward to it. Nebraska bringing him and Moore in is a huge shot in the arm to try to get the other two WRs to pull the trigger this weekend and as well.
Joshua Moore (4-Star, WR) [Yoakum, TX] - Getting Moore into town at the same time as Bush is a huge deal for Nebraska. The two Texas products know each other and there's a lot of respect for each other's talent there and Moore has been one of the commits most solid to Nebraska since his commitment this past summer.
Tate Wildeman (3-Star, DE) [Parker, CO] - One of Nebraska's first committed defensive players Wildeman will get to see Diaco's 3-4 up close and in person on Saturday. Again, a player that has never wavered and loves the idea of being a Husker. Good to get him around Micah Parsons for the weekend so he can share his love for the school with him.
Will Farniok (3-Star, C) [Sioux Falls, SD] - Too bad Will won't be watching his brother play Saturday but getting a good swath of Nebraska commits in on a big visit weekend is great for morale and for sharing excitement about the program.
Masry Mapieu (3-Star, NT) [York, NE] - Mapieu continues to have teams like UCLA and Alabama check in on him this season. He's got a ton of raw talent. Nebraska wants to keep him in the fold desperately.
Barret Pickering (2-Star, K) [Hoover, AL] - It will be Barret's second visit of the season. He is slotted to take over for senior Kicker Drew Brown starting as a freshman.
Micah Parsons (5-Star OLB) [Harrisburg, PA] - So far Parson's recruitment has been weird. For a while everyone thought he was going to OSU but that door appears to be closed. It seems down to Nebraska or Penn State (who he was formerly committed to) and Penn State seems to be way out in front as they opened the doors back up a few weeks ago (and being a Top 5 team doesn't hurt).
