Next commitment
- Thread starter Charlie Marlow_rivals363743
- Start date
We need to find good football players regardless of the stars that they have. I would rather have a three star with an average offer list than a four star with an impressive list of uncommittable offers, because other schools are probably avoiding those guys for a good reason.
We need to do better than either of those scenarios. I have been critical of Frost’s statement that he doesn’t need to hire ace recruiters and I still am.
I'm with you on that. Imagine if Donte Williams was coaching our OLB's instead of Oregon's. I bet we would have some guys that can rush the passer. If we had kept Keith Williams, I bet we would have an outside receiver or two with a pulse, to replace Stan.
Recruiting 4-star guys becomes pointless when most of them transfer after one year or don't qualify!
too often some do not include recruiting as being under the umbrella of coaching
talent evaluation and acquisition is every bit as important as the X's and Os, developmental, in game decision making aspects of coaching.
Coaches need to be able to project the ability to perform at a high power 5 level based on film and in person evals. They then need to be able to convince these kids to come to Nebraska. That is coaching in collegiate sports.
Did Frost really make that comment? - have a hard time believing he would.

I have to agree, I don't like our chances in any more games.
You want to know who has a win-now mentality? Not just the fans, not primarily the fans. The players. There's nothing more de-motivating than "building for the future." There's nothing more discouraging for the existing roster of players than hearing that we need a few more recruiting classes to make this work. It's hard to ask them to play hard when at least some of them believe that the QB who gives them the best chance to win is sitting on the bench. It's hard to ask them to let 'er rip when the coaches won't show that same attitude in play calling.

Players shouldn't be expected to play hard if they think someone not getting PT should be? There will always be players that think so and so should be playing, that is no reason not to compete.
Just saw in another thread that Vedral is out for the season. So do the players that wanted him play hard now? Is that how it works?
8 visitors this weekend 3 of them are WR's. 1 is juco. We need those WR's badly so we can take this offense to the next level.
Do we have a legit chance with any of these visitors? Or are they just coming to enjoy a free trip to Lincoln in November.
yes we do, we have several 4 star guys coming and a number of 5.7 3 star guys. They wouldn’t be visiting if they had no interest. People thinking they are visiting for the free visit are definitely clueless. It’s Lincoln Nebraska during the winter for heavens sake.
And Yes we can beat Maryland. They aren’t any better or worse then us. Literally two teams that have sucked defensively and have hit or miss offenses this year.
Dead on. We will be in that game and it will come down to the wire. I bet anything it will be a one possession game.
Definitely someone from the next couple week visits or Omar Manning. The 5.9 4 star JUCO WR that stands 6’3 and 220 pounds.

hopefully you’re not making fun of this. I thought it was cool. Klover and my son Payton play on the same team. I been watching those young men play for years now.
Big time. Imagine how different our offense would look with Betts and Manning on the outside next year. I know, it is far from a given either will be here. WR recruiting and development has been by far the biggest disappointment for me this year (and yes I have seen our OL).
i damn near guarantee Zavier Betts will qualify, all he ever needed to do was actually try and you know me, I’m already expecting to see Omar Manning pick us in the near future

If we want to compete for B10 championships, we need to land these guys. No if's/and's/ or but's about it.
Bruh, I was laughing because the second comment in this thread was “do walk ons count?”. I thought it was funny, because the next commitment was from.....you guessed it, a walk on. Also, see post 22.
