2018 Commit List (in OP) and General Recruiting Thread

[Footballnut]

Apparently it's sometime during their broadcast 1-3 PST... which means 3-5 CST... so we have a two hour window here

Nebraska it is... that should wrap up the class...

 

[Footballnut]

and he is officially signed

 

[HuskerPower52]

What about Tyrone Sampson?

 

[Footballnut]

ESPN's rankings are weird, they aren't counting the JUCOs as part of the class for some reason. Anyway, that might changes if they update things soon.

What about Tyrone Sampson?

Never visited, doubt he's a take

Anyone see Scott Frost on ESPN signing day special today? Matt Schick interviewed Frost and all the panel was in admiration of Nebraska selling out the Spring Game in less than 2 days. They also had great things to say about Frost developing players and said that quarterbacks need to look into going to Nebraska as Frost gets great results with them. We were rated #26 in recruiting only Penn St. and Ohio St. (both top ten) were ahead of Nebraska in the B1G although Minnesota was close behind us and Michigan lower than them. The panel mentioned Iowa Western and the array of Juco players recruited to play right away.

In Frost's presser today he said they sandbagged 1 or 2 visits 'just in case'.
Not sure he was referring to that dude specifically though.

 

[HuskerPower52]

Hopefully we can still get him on campus

Full update to the OP, including rankings... big finish to the class there

I think SF was saving some OVs to use for the Red/White game. Real good class here for the time they had to work with

This is literally what a lot of us have been saying for the past I don’t know how many years. Somewhere along the line a bunch of our fans overthought everything and got it in their heads that we needed some NFL head coach to make this thing work here.

What we needed was the type of coach who could sell out a spring game. The fans are a part of what makes the culture here special, and it’s time that we return to that. I, for one, can’t wait.

 

[HuskerPower52]

This is bullshit. Longest 8-9 months ever!

 

[Tomhusker]

I wish I could hibernate.

“Culture beats schemes 99.9 percent of the time, and that’s what makes Scott special.”

Not that it really matters but that is an old, old Chip Kellyism

 

[HuskerPower52]

Really that is funny I would never expect that from Chip Kelly especially since he's known for his scheme and Oregon is not really known for its football culture traditionally

 

[Footballnut]

Some perspective... Nebraska signed a top 25 class yes... but it actually was better than that considering Nebraska got what amounted to a 4-star LB transfer in Breon Dixon as well... Top 20 class for sure with that addition. Like adding another 4-star JUCO recruit.
