2015 Recruiting Thread

[Footballnut]

Hey guys, got the request to start this thread. We can discuss recruiting here, though we will still have the Commit List thread as well as the individual threads to look at Big Boards and recent commits. This thread is designed for conversation and speculation. Have at it!

Current Commit List - HERE

 

[Footballnut]

Feel free to come here with any questions regarding recruiting as well, if it is not privledged information it will be answered by either myself or some of the other recruitniks around here.

Good potential for a great DLine class

McClean at Quince Orchard (Ankrah, M Newby) and the Davis twins would be fantastic

Absolutely... also a 5-star DE out of Minnesota that is close to Jay Foreman and family to keep an eye on is Jashon Cornell... strong ties to Notre Dame but Nebraska will take a run at him.

There was hint on BRWU last night that Bo might finally start steering some of the non-Q's to IWCC.

I've been suggesting this for a year.

Better late than never I guess.

Another DT to keep an eye on is Jackson Perry from Gorman (Nick Gates Teammate)

Not sure if its already been mentioned but the Davis brothers uncle is Lorenzo Hicks DB for N in 87 & 88

Yep, and things are looking good for us. The Davis twins wanted to commit on Junior day but their mom said they should wait and let things play out a bit. I'm going to guess we get this one locked up at the Spring Game.

I can see what Bo likes about this kid,

Scout.com: Bridger Cowdin Profile

 

[Brasky]

Not really all that impressed by his highlights. He's garnered quite a bit of interest nationally though.

 

[Red_Alert]

I didn't even look at his highlights. I just wanna reach out and swat that ball out of his hand.

Hunter Dale has best name


Lots of connections to N

OH HEY GOOD TECHNIQUE THAT ONLY REQUIRES SELF DISCIPLINE:

 

[Red_Alert]

He'll fit right in and be a Bo instant fav. LOL

 

[Brasky]

More than anything those pics were supposed to show that YES it's okay to stretch the ball out for balance sometimes, but only in certain situations... Taylor just waved the ball around like he was fucking harry potter and the ball would help him cast a spell to get out of whatever hole he dug himself into.


Jamal Turner.... I have never seen a Nebraska WR waste so much energy running sideways and backwards as him. He'd be WORSE than Taylor.

It's too early at this point to judge, but this is just the dumbest... I can't even... Typical Bo Pelini Tim Beck bullshit.

 

[Brasky]

Jamal Turner might just be a dude who has great lateral agility and average speed that helped him be a HS star at an average Texas HS program...

I feel like the coaches have coddled him and he's just not that good.


With this staff, the death sentence is asking you to switch positions senior year.

So I take it that Turner is now a qb?

 

[BigRedMoe]

Is Stanton really that far behind the curve that they think they need to add Turner to QB corps? If so, my assumption is that they don't feel there is an adequate back up for Tommy right now and that making a veteran former QB the back up will add some sense of stability. Not that I agree with it but I'm trying to wrap my head around this because it seems stupid and unneeded.
