Its amazing how good we have done in Oklahoma the last several years.

I guess that's what happens when your head coach doesn't agree to stay away from his childhood buddies home recruiting area. Anyway.....welcome kid.

I had someone ask me if we had to worry about OU coming in late. My answer is no because he did not grow up in OK and has not ties to the state. His dad is a long time BB coach and the whole family is now in Chicago where his dad is the head coach at DePaul.

Nice! TE is starting to look interesting again at N, some nice recruits coming in to replace Cethan, and Jurgens for 2018!

 

[redwinghusker]

Just as a general observation.....these coaches got it going on with recruiting. Ain't no slouches in the whole group. I'm thinking after a successful season and solid recruiting class coming up, the next few seasons are gonna be a blast.

Great get, but RR, why does the N look orange? The uniform is red.

Oh and I predicted 12-14 commits by the opening of season.....

Nebraska graduates three tight ends after this season so its needs at the position were great in this cycle. The commitment of Reese may allow the Huskers to shut things down as they now have Leitao and Austin Allen at tight end and Ben Miles as a hybrid fullback/H-back.

Finding and landing a true tight end is becoming hard and hard to do these days. With as many spread offenses as you seen in high school now most tight ends are flexed out or really over-grown wide receivers. Very few guys have the ability to be an end-line blocker as well as a flex in the passing game, but Leitao does.

Tight ends coach Tavita Thompson deserves a lot of praise. Thompson has been an outstanding recruiting as the lead guy on Leitao and Austin Allen and was also very involved on several other commits such as Ben Miles in this class. That's something you don;t see out of a graduate assistant very often.

But if they get #15 by next Friday...technically...is your prediction still correct?

It's amazing how bad it had been.

Good stuff in Husker Land. GBR. Welcome young man.

 

[Red Reign]

It's amazing how bad it had been.

Last commit was 2005 with Phillip Dillard before Barnett in the 2015 class.
