It's going to be an eventful day for Nebraska for once on signing day as the Huskers will await all of the NLI's to come in and announcements from 11 prospects choosing between Nebraska and some other school or schools. Here's how I see it breaking down:
Joseph Lewis (5-Star, WR) - Announcement time 3:00pm CST on ESPN -- Lewis has LONG been a Nebraska target and the Huskers will be working with him until early in the morning to get him to come to Lincoln. He will be choosing between Nebraska and USC on ESPN tomorrow...
Chance at Commitment: USC 90% Neb. 10%
Greg Johnson (4-star, ATH) - Announcement time 3:00pm CST on ESPN -- Johnson was once committed to Donte Williams at Arizona but he decommitted when Williams came to Nebraska and Nebraska became the front runner. USC entered the fray as well with Adoree Jackson moving to the NFL. Nebraska stays in strong position here but it will be tough to beat out USC and best friend Lewis going to the campus.
Chance at Commitment: USC 55% Neb. 45%
Elijah Blades (4-Star, CB) - Announcement time 3:00pm CST -- As far as I know Blades' announcement won't be televised but he will be choosing between USC, Neb and Florida on signing day. He had once indicated Oregon to have a shot but now they are no longer listed.
Chance at a Commitment: UF 5% USC %15 Neb 80%
Deommodore Lenoir (4-Star, CB) - Announcement time 2:30 CST on FS1 -- Lenoir was once committed to Oregon and even called them his dream school but they fell on hard times this season and he decommitted prior to the hiring of Willie Taggert. Nebraska has put up a good fight here and has put itself in position to maybe make a run at Lenoir. In the end Oregon will probably be too tough to overcome as he has many friends coming to be Ducks in 2017.
Chance at a Commitment: Neb. 30% Ore. 70%
Damion Daniels (3-Star, DT) - Announcement time 10:30 CST on ESPN -- Daniels has LONG been a Nebraska target and turned into an even more significant target once Nebraska hired Bob Diaco to run a 3-4. Daniels has the size and athleticism to play early as a NT in the 3-4 and he was so important to Nebraska's class that he got Diaco's first in home visit after he was hired.
Chance of a Commitment: Colorado 25% Neb. 70% UTSA 5%
Bryan Thompson (3-Star, WR) - Announcement time 11:00am CST -- Thompson had a great time on his Nebraska visit and looked like he could pull the trigger but Pac-12 programs came calling. He has friends at Utah and he really likes Oregon as well. Nebraska wanted a bigger body at WR but it looks like that won't happen in this class.
Chance of a Commitment: Neb. 40% Utah 45% Oregon 15%
Michael Onyemaobi (3-Star, CB) - Announcement time 11:00am CST -or- 3:00 CST -- I've seen conflicting times for Onyemaobi so I'm not sure when he's going to announce but it is looking really good for Nebraska. It was Nebraska that convinced him to move off of his Cal commit in the first place AND it was Nebraska he chose to visit last despite a good visit to TCU and he LOVED it in Lincoln and his parents came too.
Chance of a Commitment: Cal 5% Neb. 40% TCU 55%
CJ Verdell (3-Star, RB) - Announcement time unknown -- Nebraska has been hotly pursuing Verdell for quite some time trying to sway him off of his Oregon commitment but he still visited Oregon on an unofficial last second this past weekend. Tyjon Lindsey has also been hot on him to join the class. Nebraska really wants him as a RB in this class and is using Oregon's constant recruiting of RBs in this class against them. Will be interesting to see what happens here.
Chance of a Commitment: Neb 25% Oregon 75%
Jeremiah Hawkins (3-Star, WR) - Announcement time unkown -- Hawkins is currently committed to Cal and has a good friend already enrolled there. He loves the academics but took a late visit to Nebraska after Cal let their HC go. Rumor has it that it is down to Nebraska and Cal come signing day and Nebraska has every shot to land Hawkins especially of Jamire Calvin ends up going to WSU.
Chance of a Commimtnet: Neb. 50% Cal 50%
Guy Thomas (3-Star, OLB) - Announcement time 6:00am CST -- Thomas has been committed to Nebraska since the fall and stuck with his commitment in spite of the DC change (or perhaps... because of it). The ideal OLB in a 3-4 defense Thomas has since taken visits to Pitt and Louisville which he loved. His brother doesn't really want him to go to Nebraska but Thomas wants to do his own thing anyway. This will be interesting to watch early in the morning.
Chance of a Commitment: Louisville 35% Neb. 35% Pitt 30%
Jamire Calvin (4-Star, WR) - Announcement time unknown -- Calvin is an enigma, he committed to Oregon State out of the blue on January 7th, then de-committed less than a week later and then he committed to Nebraska on January 27th only to waiver in his commitment only 3 days later. It is down to Nebraska and WSU and it's anyone's guess. His parents want him to stay close to home and Nebraska's coaches are likely sick of the process with him.
Chance of a Commitment: Neb 49% WSU 51%
