Congrats to Luke. Not many people get to live a childhood dream like this. I wish you the very best, Luke! Work hard and you can achieve greatness.

 

[ADS]

Welcome our first commit

 

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Yeah. He'll commit early. However, this means he is going to get overlooked by most schools and end up underrated by most recruiting sites as a result.

Still, got to love the in-state talent this year.

Is Luke the type of leader that can help recruit other prospects? I don't know Luke so I have to ask to know.

Based on his UVs to N, he went to the Arkansas St, Idaho St, Michigan, and Minnesota games last year. Definitely a big fan of

He's a high school kid in Lincoln...

I'm just playing with you. Paulie, ADS, I know you guys have watched the football down in the Lincoln area with Banderas and Foster. Ever seen this kid play? Opinions?

Do you guys think he deserved it based on his film?

Reminds me a little (maybe a lot) of our own Mr. Gerry. Look at his highlights starting at about the 30 second mark. I like the speed and straight up brutality.

Outside of Foster, he's probably the second best prospect in the state. Like him better than Phillips, worthy of an offer for sure. I wouldn't mind seeing him at WR, and maybe getting him up around 210-215

Wherever he ends up on the field it will depend on how he grows. I don't see us offering more than one other in-state prospect for a while for this recruiting cycle. Why? We need a QB, a RB, some OL, some DL, ILB, OLB, 3-4 CBs, TE, 2 Ss. That right there is more than a full class. So not much room right now to offer the other in-state guys outside of the DE.

Hopefully doesn't turn into John Levorson 2.0

If we have talent worthy of an offer in state we need to offer and get them to stay here period. Snubbing instate talent or especially within the 500 mile radius would be a huge mistake, and yes I do realize we need to concentrate on areas of need, but we can not afford to lose out on local talent.
