List of kids coming.
List of kids coming.
Not that it matters all that much but the list says Ambry Thomas goes to Cass Tech...he goes to King...fwiw...the other Detroit 2017 player listed does go to Cass and is Thomas' cousin...they are quite close.
Has anyone gone to one of these yet? How many people have shown up? I'm thinking about taking my kid tomorrow night. Star studded line up. Would be great if a decent sized crowd showed up. Show these guys we NEED them!
I think this staff has done a great job getting these top rated guys on campus! It takes work, organization, creativity and networking! However, trophies don't get put on the shelves from a camp in June! In 1985, Nebraska signed the top class in the country with Mickey Joseph, Leodis Flowers, Nate Turner, Broderick Thomas & Leroy Etienne!
I'll take the right guys with a chip on their shoulder and a shared mission any day. Not saying these guys aren't that way but let's not put the cart before the horse!

strange post. Nobody is trying to push the cart with a horse. There is something to be excited about in June. Everybody knows it's still just June.
Agreed. No clue too why everyone wants to always compare things. Be happy that Nebraska football has some positive momentum and hopefully is moving forward. I like what we are doing and hopefully it transfers to the field. There is a lot of excitement, and hopefully that excitement doesn't cease when the season starts.

Nice video of Bookie and others.
Be happy that Nebraska has a head coach that recognizes/appreciates the tremendous facilities, history, social media, and fanbase to assist with recruiting. Instead of complaining and making excuses about the challenges...this football staff gets after it on the recruiting trail. Hopefully Nebraska will be able to get commits/sign more recruits that will make a difference on the field in the coming years. There will be some swings and misses on the recruiting trail but this staff should be commended for getting after it this off season!!
The staff can also help this process by utilizing the strengths of the current talent on the field and making sound coaching decisions to improve the overall record.

Excellent !!! Many here are still forgetting how tough we were becoming to handle at the end of the season - and the Iowa game interception fiasco was dealt with.; ask UCLA. Gotta drink the koolaide. These recruits will succeed and bring in others.
He flashes the bones all the time. I think that looks good for NU. If he visits in Sept, I say he commits that weekend with all the Calibraska boys in town.
This is a great vid in so many ways.. The Lewis/Bookie matchup was great to watch. Some of these guys are so fast & deceptive off the line. I could watch that Simmons/Goldsmith matchup all day. Sure they look a bit odd, but I think are both great athletes. Thanks for posting the vid.
Man, look at Bookie get it done! That play at 1:25 where he just comes back out of the break and high points that ball...that's nice. We've been missing that around here for a while.
KJJ is gonna be powerful by the time he's ready to get on the field in college. Thick frame on him. And he knows he can't just outrun people so he works on the little things. He's gonna be a really good possession guy in that mold of Purify and Quincy to where you put it out there for him and let him box out and then break a tackle.
Tyjon Lindsey needs Coach Williams in his life. He's used to being able to make people look silly and he got some DBs on him who shoved him around. He's playing too high out of his hips...he's out of control when he's trying to change direction. Get Dr. Route to coach up that raw athleticism and he can be special.
Da'Ron Davis looks like a good route runner. Keep an eye on him...
How about Dominic Gicinto? Didn't see him against the top corners but I liked his routes.
That poor freshman Xavier Goldsmith, he's swimming with the sharks, these kids are a foot taller than he is. I like his heart to come out there and see if he can run with the best. Made a nice play on that fade route.
I don't know who is throwing to these guys, but he's letting the DBs back into the play. Lots of underthrown passes.

Goldsmith plays on the same team as this year's composite #1 WR (composite #6 player overall...ranked #11 by Rivals). I'm not sure how many reps he's taken against DPJ because of age but this is not the first time he has gone against a shark...does it in his school's practices thus going up against those type of guys wasn't a new experience for him. But to your point, kid has some growing to do (obviously not unusual for a freshman soon to be soph)...if he does he could be a very good one.
He'll get there. I was 5'4 as a freshman and 6'0 at graduation. He'll get bigger, stronger and meaner.
FWIW...if there is one school in Michigan you want your coaches getting to know very well it is Cass-Tech. It is by far the most talent rich program in the state and some of it does leave.
