any new offers after last night?
- Thread starter yorocco
- Start date
I have not seen any new offers yet. Maybe they will offer Anthony Payne or some others.
There's a list of bluechippers that attended this camp. It's hard to overlook. There were others at the camp that aren't bluechippers, that don't have offers, and are hoping for an offer. It is still an opportunity for players to get an offer. It is still an opportunity to improve your chances of landing a commit from a player already offered. I think the camp served it's intended purpose.

Before last night, that pretty much was the case with prospects holding offers watching from the sidelines on Friday night. Last night from the sound of things was pretty unique with a few DB's showing up to test out their skills vs. some of the nation's top receivers.
Whatever the camp was "for", I thought it was pretty amazing it ran so well and so many of our fans showed up. It sure beats having the staff waiting around until the season starts to recruit, then freaking out in December because only half the class is filled.
It's for whatever the coaches want it to be for. They got a chance to evaluate guys like Arnold and Payne in person and some of position coaches got the chance to work with and form relationships with some of th best prospects in America.

I bet that really pisses you off to see all that highly rated talent in Lincoln (after your ilk claimed it was not possible to get them to Lincoln).
Oh ya, I forgot, so hard to recruit to Lincoln, flights, blah, blah, etc, so irritating to listen to Bo Bo and his band of no recruiting losers for so many years. Finally have a staff from the AD on down who knows what it takes to attract the nations top players. GBR
Are you seriously complaining about this? Seriously?
There have been multiple camps so far that have allowed for player evaluation. I'm sure that went on to a degree at this camp too.
To expand on this...
The new trend is for schools (as in those with bigger programs) to hold a series of camps on campus. It used to be that schools held one general camp that could serve both purposes but really wasn't specialized.
I think the big turning point was the FNL camp at Florida under Meyer. I don't know if they were the first to hold such a thing but it was the first significant one where it was just for high level recruits (for a specific school) that I heard of.
No schools hold things like QB camps...big man camps...team camps...etc...they used to segment parts of one big camp but now it seems more separeated
Yeah Yorocco is very upset. Dude has 4-5 Twitter accounts strictly to bash Nebraska to current and potential NU recruits. Spouts off about the same stuff he does on here ... "NU bad academics, not apart of the AAU, Academic All Americans not measure of academics thus NU lies to recruits, blah, blah, blah." It's sad.

It's important to match the guys up against other highly-touted recruits and see what they can do against guys who have comparable talent. Hell, even I ran wild and scored TDs in some pick-up games against random friends in college. But let a dude step on the field who actually was on the team for NU even just as a scout team walk-on...I suddenly looked like a nobody trying to match up with him.
Some of the highlights from these guys you go, "Yeah, nice punt return on the stat sheet but I can see if any of these 4 guys knew how to tackle, you'd have lost 6 yards instead of scoring a TD."
The coaches get to run them through drills and assess their footwork, flexibility, instincts, level of polish, etc. Sounds like Bookie really opened some eyes and was giving these top-flight WRs a run for their money.

Yep...so many guys just "out athlete" kids their age. Not so in College. you're no longer the kid that matured 5 years quicker than everyone else.
