I used to do this every once in a while at CBS and I think people enjoyed it. This is the Big Board as I see it right now. I have my ear to the ground in many areas of recruiting, i'm not right all the time but usually my info is good at the time I get it. Enjoy... any questions or comments post away! I use 247Sports ratings, Scout and Rivals will be in indicated in parenthesis if it differs from 247's ratings
Needs: QB, WR, OL, TE
QB
1. Brandon Harris: 4-star (3-star Rivals and Scout) [Bossier City, LA] Harris is likely the top QB on Nebraska's board right now. He hails from Louisiana and has burst onto the scene as one of the Bes Dual-Threat QBs in the nation. Nebraska offered him early and while Harris likes LSU they have not offered (though he thought they did) and he seems less interested in them after they denied an offer he thought he had.
2. Zack Darlington: 3-Star [Apopka, FL] Darlington burst onto Nebraska's scene during Capital One Bowl practices down in Florida. Darlington's dad's favorite team was Nebraska, and being a coach's son you tend to take note of that sort of thing. Darlington's two QBs he models himself after are Scott Frost and Eric Crouch, he says he watches YouTube videos of both constantly. If Nebraska gets him up for a visit he's probably the best bet for a commitment. He reminds me a bit of Johnny Stanton.
3. Will Ulmer: 4-Star: (3-Star Scout) [Washington D.C.] Will Ulmer is one of the hottest uncommitted names on the dual threat circuit. He recently ran a 4.3 forty time at a combine. His passing isn't as polished as the top two but his play making ability and speed make up for that in a big way. Ulmer is interested in Va Tech but the Nebraska offer intrigues him. If he visits all bets are off.
Other names of note: Nico Pierre, Dimonic McKinzy, Easton Stick
RB
Christian McCaffrey: 4-Star: [Highlands Ranch, CO] Christian is the son of legendery Broncos WR Ed McCaffrey and you can tell in his highlights. Christian reminds me of Rex on film, elusive, utilitarian player with the right attitude and work ethic to be successeful. But he's faster. The major challengers are Stanford and Ohio State here. Nebaska is in decent position if they can get a visit out of him.
Jonathan Hilliman: 3-Star: [Jersey City, NJ] Hilliman has been on and off the radar over the last few months for a myriad of schools. Nebraska really likes him but he is sliding down on their board every day with offers out to players like Madre London, Derrell Scott and Corey Avery. Alabama, Arkansas and Georgia are all in on Hilliman as well.
Other names of note: Derrell Scott, Corey Avery, Madre London
WR
Monte Harrison: 3-Star: [Lee's Summit, MO] Harrison has visited Nebraska twice and reallike likes the Huskers. The 6'3" WR also blew up in a Rivals combine over the weekend in St. Louis taking home MVP of the event. If he continues to tear it up at events such as this over the summer look for his stock to rise significantly and for him to end up as a 4-star on most services. Right now Nebraska is battling a host of other B1G schools for his services and Mizzou, but look for SEC offers to start comming in any day now.
T.V. Williams: 3-Star: [McKinney, TX] TV is a proto-type slot receiver, he stands at merely 5'9" (which damages his stock) but runs a 4.4 forty. Nebraska got in on Williams early and are pushing for a visit. Teams like Houston, Cal, and Kentucky are vying for his talents as well.
Zaire Andre: 3-Star: [Inglewood, CA] Ande is another slot receiver that Nebraska just offered recently. He's fast and has good hands but is relatively off the radar right now. Only other offers are from Wazzou and Houston. There are many who think his recruiting will blow up soon however. A name to watch.
Other names of note: Tyrone Washington, Byron Daniels, Andre Fuller, R.J. Urzendowski
OL
Braden Smith: 4-Star (5-Star Scout): [Olathe, KS] Smith is one of the most physically gifted offensive linemen in the 2014 class. He has all the athleticism and tools that coach would want and he is a work out demon. He has been to Nebraska a few times but the way Nebraska closed their 2012 campaign left him looking elsewhere. Nebraska is still in it but they are playing catch up with Texas A&M, TCU, Notre Dame and Alabama.
D.J. Foster: 3-Star (4-Star Rivals): [Lincoln, NE] Foster's teammate, Luke Gifford, is the only current commit of Nebraska's 2014 class. His brother, Trey, is a walk-on tight end at Nebraska. His family moved from Tuscaloosa, AL when he was a kid to Lincoln so he feels a connection with SEC country. Normaly a kid like this would seem like a lock for Nebraska but things are less certain with Foster. Alabama hasn't offered yet (and likely won't) but Georgia is high on his list.
Brian Wallace: 3-Star: [Saint Louis, MO] Wallace is a name that has burst onto the scene recently in Missouri. Nebraska offered early and jumped to the top of his list with Iowa and Missouri. Wallace is a versatile player that could project to either Guard or Tackle at the next level.
Other names to note: Natrell Curtis, Najee Toran, Jermaine Eluemunor, Chad Mavety, Damien Mama, Frank Ragnow
TE
Gaelen Elmore: NYR (3-Star Rivals and Scout): [Somerset, WI] Elmore was once thought to be a Wisconsin lock but recent visits with Minnesota and Nebraska coaches have really got him thinking. Right now Elmore says Nebraska is in the slight lead ahead of Wisconsin. Nebraska would love to add the talented 6'5" tight end to the roster and will pursue heavily.
Matt Nelson: 3-Star: [Cedar Rapids, IA] Matt has burst onto the TE scene as of late. His size, acompanied with his speed (6'8" 245 lbs 4.6 forty) make him close to an elite TE. He just hasn't gotten the camp exposure. He has offers from all over the map though. Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas, Notre Dame, Stanford and many more. He's the type of talent close to home that Nebraska fans hope to see Bo and Co pull in more often.
Other players to note: Dalton Schultz, Chance Sorrell
