Signing Day Central

[Footballnut]

Still waiting on Jefferson... guess that party at school is pretty crazy....

[Footballnut]

overall a pretty solid class, some projects, some solid athletes, and a few difference makers. Gotta keep doing better though.

 

[corn train]

If these guys can put in a solid season next year recruiting is going to change drastically for us

 

[Skerpokes]

Half these guys won't be on the roster in 4 years

 

[Footballnut]

I will be updating the 2016 thread with rankings... Nebraska looking like it will retain either 25-26 on 247sports depending on how the day goes for other teams.

Riley at the podium for press conferece

 

[Footballnut]

talking about numbers right now... got a good number of linebackers, still a bit short on overall numbers will contintue to try to build that up over the next few years.

 

[Footballnut]

Announces that Lane Hovey is transferring to Montana, Keels to Eastern Michigan, Mosely to Central Arkansas and Adriane Talan is off the team and going JUCO.

 

[Footballnut]

Talking about POB... really likes his football IQ, says they have a personal rule to not offer a QB until they see them throw live. Very excited about Patrick. Talent is one thing, production is another, and he's been really productive.

 

[Footballnut]

Notes how Darrion Grim has produced as well, loves that.

 

[Footballnut]

Likes the number of Offensive Line guys, says we have 3 interior guys and 1 tackle. Versatility, toughness and talent.

 

[Footballnut]

talking about Brokop and Raridon, appreciates their commitment to the program and thinks they are great players.

 

[Footballnut]

talking about the 500 mile radius, thinks the key is to get guys on campus before OVs and speaks about missing on some guys in Kansas and says that's some of the bigger disappointments in this class. Need to work real hard and have the right recipe for each player.

 

[Footballnut]

Gonna make a big effort starting monday and getting players evaluated for 2017, for next year we need to get even further ahead. Working on 2018. Get the active recruits and know the names ASAP.

 

[Footballnut]

talking about the recruiting of Matt Farniok as well... really appreciated how that recruitment unfolded

 

[Footballnut]

Riley's thoughts on silent commits... says "you better keep recruiting at that position. Lamar's deal was really well done and I think that was fun. It shows how important it is to these kids. The hard part about it is since a lot of times since you don't know you have to continue to recruit and options for yourself."

 

[Footballnut]

Says that we need to have enough flexibility to get the players you want... sounds a bit upset about the Fitzpatrick situation.

 

[Footballnut]

Says the recruits control it, and when they do that's alright with him, but says that they still need to have a plan and give yourself enough versatility with numbers.

 

[Footballnut]

Basically just wishes recruits were more clear on the process they want to go through
