I've heard rumors we got one or so out of this weekend. My guess would be Damion Daniels or Jamire Calvin. Any truth to that? Bueller?
Commits?
- Thread starter HBK4life_rivals100467
- Start date
Nothing yet. An assistant tweeted a "boom" which many took as a commit, but it was "just" his daughter being born.

Rated the trip a 12 out of 10. May commit soon or maybe is the famous silent commit guy. Either way we are in his top 2 and he was blown away.
Glad to hear this. That had to be the most boring Nebraska game I have watched in years. I am hoping all the recruits were blown away despite how dull the game was and how vanilla our offense was.
This has been discussed in the past, but I think a lot of times people put way too much stock into their feelings about the game when it comes to how a visiting recruit comes out of it. In the past (I can't list any specific players off the top of my head, but I know it's happened), we have received big commits from big time players after losses. For a recruit, it's much more about the total experience, not just how the game goes. Getting an idea of what it's like playing in front of the Sea of Red, and all that, the outcome of the game and how it's played don't mean as much as some think.
Most of the recruits probably didnt care. The ones I would be concerned with however are the WR recruits, if I was one I would be severely questioning my place in an offense that threw like 14 passes. I am sure Riley explained his reasoning for the gameplan, but wouldnt be certain that would convince any of them.
These kids are smart enough to realize the game plan against Fresno State will not be what we do the 3-5 years they are here.
They can watch Nebraska anytime they want to see what kind of football we are playing. OV is to see what a game day atmosphere is like.

I'm sure the staff made it quite clear to the recruits that NU plans to be a balanced offense in the future. They all know Tommy was brought in to run a different type offense and isn't a prototypical pocket passer. I'm looking forward to a battle between 3 prototype passing QB's next year. Something we haven't had at NU for many years. Their will be plenty of offense to go around for WR;s to RB's to TE's.
You have to think we wanted to establish the run and become a true power team again. Boring or not, wearing down opponents by the 4th is always a good thing to see. Not to mention with everything that has happened over the off season, the coaches probably wanted to just get this first game out of the way and all the emotions out while securing a win. Tommy looked really emotional during the SF missing man formation.
I doubt it's a big deal. They know that O'Brien, Gebbia, and Lee are pocket passers, that TA is a senior, that our top 3 WR's are seniors, and that Riley's teams historically have passed a lot. They know what direction the offense is headed.
