2017 Commit List (in OP) and general recruiting thread

Do we know if POB is getting reps with the ones?

 

[Footballnut]

Depends on the service but Stanton was not ranked anywhere near POB by the end of his senior season. Also, remember that Stanton was coming off of a torn ACL during his Senior year, an injury he never full regained confidence from while he was here.

That being said, there is another option, and it's one that I think Riley should and will consider. POB gets 2nd/3rd team reps during the season and someone else runs scout team. Would get him in with the team and running plays. Would also keep him in the loop of TA gets injured and we want to go to the future now and start with POB in the middle the of the season. This is the way I would go, a redshirt year with him taking actual reps in practice and a key back-up if TA gets hurt.

right now he's with the second group but he gets some reps with the ones, as does Fyfe and Bush.

And by second group I mean the entire group of Bush, Fyfe and O'Brien

Ah. Beat me to it.

Good money on Nebraska here, though USC or OSU are also intriguing guessing. Thinking Nebraska though as we are also his last visit and he has said he's coming back. Could go a long way with Gebbia and Holmes.

 

[Brasky]

The way that tweet read, I think whoever he's committed to already knows.

I'd be good with that as well.

 

[Brasky]

If TA goes down mid season and we've already lost a couple games, that'd be the most likely scenario

4-Star QB Jack Coan was in town watching practice today. Nebraska's top two QB targets are Gebbia and Coan. They would take whichever one wants in first.

Does a can commitment screw the pooch with the calabraska crew?

No... KJJ is N regardless. It obviously means that Gebbia wouldn't be here and it wouldn't help our chances with Darnay. Getting Gebbia here keeps us in it with Darnay. Coan instead leaves us little chance IMO.

 

[HuskerPower52]

How sure are you we can't take both? Also why does Dqrnays decision hang on Gebbias seams odd to me.

About 95% sure we don't take both considering we have POB and Tanner Lee in last class. Four QBs in two classes is too many.

And Darnay's decision doesn't hang on Gebbia's but getting Gebbia would add another person he knows to our program and his current QB as well. Nebraska has been telling Darnay he can play both sides of the ball if he comes here (a la Adoree Jackson via USC) and the allure of teaming up with KJJ and Gebbia could be enough to swing us to the top. I'm not saying it does, but it couldn't hurt.

FWIW he's much closer to KJJ than Gebbia. It's gonna be a fight to get him here either way, but from what I understand Gebbia isn't the lynchpin.

I didn't mean to intimate that Gebbia was the lynch pin, I was merely pointing out that the connection would be that much stronger that's all.

 

[Brasky]

Tomorrow's gonna be fun. KJJ could be the spark that gives us the best recruiting class we've seen in a LOOOOONG time.

Beating out Alabama, Ohio State, and USC for a WR is mind blowing. Hopefully it creates an avalanche effect and we can FINALLY start bringing in elite WR's regularly.

 

[HuskerPower52]

So are we expecting anyone else to commit

 

[Brasky]

Just him tomorrow.
