*** 2020 Recruiting ***

[Nebfanatic]

Payne and hopefully Slusher will round things out. Awesome work by this staff securing another top 20 class

 

[BoNeyard]

Incredible incredible finish to this class, wow!

 Stars aside, can anyone remember a year when we met our recruiting needs so well?

Hello Alante Brown

 

[Mastershake]

Is Slusher the last legitimate question mark?

 

[BoNeyard]

Is Slusher the last legitimate question mark?

Rumor is he is flipping to Nebraska.

Nebraska may have a top 15 class by the end of the day....

Right, but is there anyone beyond him.  Not guys like DGW, but more legitimate prospects?

I don't think we can get that high. Both him and Payne would put a bow on it and other teams may still jump with signings. That being said, we are locked into top 20 and this class fills a lot of needs.

My understanding is we take Payne and Slusher then we will be done

Don't think so, I think he's the last big one in regards to the toss ups. 

 

[Mavric]

When you miss out on one of your top targets and still have the best signing day in recent memory by a mile....

 

[Jason Sitoke]

I'm not a big follower of recruiting, but NU's star average is higher than Michigan's on Rivals.  That seems to be a very good thing.

13 defensive commits.  10 offensive commits

4 out of 5 JUCOs are on defense

I think the coaches are putting their money where their mouths are when it comes to talking about needed more dudes on defense.

Current Scholarships/Commits

QB - 1 - LOGAN SMOTHERS
RB - 2 - SEVION MORRISON, MARVIN SCOTT
WR - 5 - ZAVIER BETTS, WILLIAM NIXON, JUCO OMAR MANNING, MARCUS FLEMING, ALANTE BROWN
TE - 0 - 
OT - 2 - TURNER CORCORAN, ALEX CONN
OG/C - 0 - 

NT - 2 - NASH HUTMACHER, JUCO JORDON RILEY
DE - 1-2 - MARQUIS BLACK, Nusi Malani, JUCO Julius Coates, JUCO Pheldarius Payne, Tanoa Togiai
ILB - 2 - JUCO ETEVA MAUGA, KEYSHAWN GREENE

OLB - 4 - BLAISE GUNNERSON, JUCO JUNIOR AHO, JUCO NIKO COOPER, JIMARI BUTLER

CB - 3 - TAMON LYNUM, RONALD DELANCY, Myles Slusher*
S - 2 - HENRY GRAY, JAIDEN FRANCOIS

*-Current Oregon commit

Early Enrollees - Smothers, Corcoran, Gray, Gunnerson, Lynum (maybe Morrison)

By my math we have 20 who have signed so far.

2 more committed and expected to sign today- Fleming and Conn

2 who are committed and signing in Feb- Betts and Aho

Waiting on Payne and Slusher.

So, possibly all 26 are spoken for, could be a couple openings.

Hoping this class of WR/RB takes some of the burden off Wan'dale next year so we can keep him fresh and healthy without removing the threat a player like him brings.
