Need o lines mens

We'll have 16 on scholarship by the end of signing day... I think Austin has talent to work with in that room. Cav and the weight lifting program hamstrung the talent that's there currently. I think you'll see a much better looking OL this season even with some familiar names.

That bar is certainly not set very high.

The loss of Nick "open" Gates should help.

Wondering if Chris just let the cat out of the bag for Ken Montgomery

 

[HuskerinBig10]

Quite the offer list on Ken Montgomery, Jr.

Florida and FSU did not offer, but ten other B1G schools did. Five PAC 12 did. Five ACC schools did. Two Big 12 did. Nine SEC did.

I like his heighth.

I wouldn't expect very many big updates from today, most of these kids are likely to wait until Wednesday to announce. That does not mean that didn't commit this weekend though.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I would be the one guy who would announce during the Super Bowl.

Take all the attention off of the announcement en sech.

 

[HuskerPower52]

I would have signed with Nebraskers the very second I could

 

[corn train]

Walkon but still big knews in my book

 

[HuskerPower52]

Go to work son that's awesome I would love to walk on

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

That really is good stuff there.

Kid could have had a full-ride at several other places.

 

[corn train]

Agree

Add the last two of Bryant and York LB Simon Otte to this list. These kids are the building blocks of the new culture Frost will have instilled in short order

 

[Footballnut]

Moses Bryant is a big walk-on get for this staff and one that neither of the previous two staffs would have gotten.

On the scholarship front, there's significant smoke right now that Nebraska is in line for landing both Javontae Jean-Baptiste and Caleb Tannor... we would take both if we could get them. I'm not sure I buy it... I think Tannor ends up at Florida. FWIW I still have confidence that Javontae is N

heard DB on the way into work and sounded like Washington might be wavering still and truly is a 50/50 right now between ASU and NU come signing day tomorrow. he said he talked to someone from North (I assumed Sargbah by the way he was talking) that did an unofficial visit this past weekend and that guy was supposed to be on alert for a call depending on what happened Wed.

Would drop a satisfying 30" turd if we land both JJB and Tannor

Meh, first of all... Sargbagh was not on an official... second... that's Benning stumping for his player, he hops Washington doesn't come because it would open the door. I think Nebraska is in a very good position with Washington.

As for Jean-Baptiste, saw a flurry of Crystal Balls for OSU today, not sure what that's about, thought we were in the pole position with them lagging way behind. I'm wondering if Schiano leaving actually helped OSU in this regard.

I thought I saw someone that OSU thought getting went elsewhere so had a spot open for JBB now.

At least things are trending positive about Tannor now

Maybe that's the case, Oats is going to Kentucky it seems, but the two play different positions, but if there's only one or two spots left I guess they'd take a flyer and figure it out later. Sucks that it can come in at the 11th hour like that. Frost and Co will be working the phones today though trying to get Jean-Baptiste to sign though, of that I have no doubt.

I also have no doubt that Nebraska would, if they could, take both Tannor and JJB

i said unofficial. and yea, i understand that, he did say that Nebraska has been very forthright with him and that he is clearly not a first option.
