Recruiting Live Thread: Nebraska transfer targets to know and visit updates (12/11 update)

Been busy confirming names and figuring out where Nebraska's board stands. This board should have a bunch of new names by next week and we'll be consistently posting updates to the board. Look for this thread for additional transfer target news

Top N state player Christian Jones. HS Butkus award winner

Nebraska football has been busy on the recruiting trail as of late, and a new report indicates that more good news may be coming. Rivals.com’s Greg Smith had a prediction for 2025 four-star linebacker Christian Jones to come to Lincoln.
Jones is the 19th overall linebacker in the 2025 class, and the top player in his class from the state of Nebraska, per the 247Sports Rankings. The linebacker is rated as a 91 overall numerically. Nebraska football has been very much been in his recruitment from the get go.
As Smith notes, Jones still has visits on the table. Miami is a visit to watch, and the linebacker is taking it at the end of July. Nevertheless, Smith believes that Jones will stay home.

This would be a big get for Nebraska football​

This would certainly be a big get for the program. They have been coveting Jones for quite some time now. They also desperately need a linebacker. After missing out on Dawson Merritt, Jones would be the perfect player to give Nebraska that impact playmaker. It’s also worth noting that Jones would be another blue-chip player for the program in this class.

Rhule plays chess

Whether he’s a Chess Master or below average player is still TBD here at Nebraska. But I’ll give credit where credit is due.

There is a reason he brought Snow in when he brought Holgersen in. Those were his guys. White was already gone. If he wasn’t, Rhule knew it was coming and set up a Plan B.

He had Butler here immediately following the needs to replace our DB coach. Those talks had happened long before.

It’s rare when Rhule gets caught blind. Guessing Knighton told him a bit ago he was going with White. The KC Assistant coach happened too quick for Rhule to not have known.

Pot Roast just publicly resigned and literally we have a new coach not long after? It didn’t just happen.

If only he would bring in a stud Special Teams coach. It’s unforgivable if Foley is still here.

Anderson Convenience Market in Omaha has a sale on the new Velo 9mg cans - 2 for $2 with no limit. They have the new cans for the disposable empties in case your wives get mad at you for putting them on the counter or by the nightstand like mine does. I just bought 20 cans for $22 at the 156th & Dodge location while I filled up my tank this morning. I started with Zyn but at some gas stations, those are darn near $7 a can now.

These Velo 9 cans for $1 will make great stocking stuffers.

if the VB ladies play like they did the first two rounds, we are going to win the title

took my son last night and the Husker defense is simply breathtaking to watch in person ... add in the extra strong OH depth this year in Landfair (6'5!) and improvements among the young super class of Harper, Bergen Reilly, and Andi Jackson have raised their levels ... could easily defend this year's title in 2025 if the Lincoln Luthertan Libero recruit (top 15 nationally) can live up to the hype and take away some of the massive sting that comes w/ seeing Lexi Rodriguez graduate after this year

Are you a fan of the 3-3-5 ... why or why not?

I love the scheme for its versatility, but it seems to leave corners in a lot of 1-1's and it puts a TON of pressure on the front 3 ... too many games we got blown off the ball early and often in the run game... with better players at those front 3 spots, I think it could be VERY effective against modern pass offenses which stress defenses to the point of no return these days

Rhule did a good job on coaching upgrades

now that I see all the pieces together on defense from snow to the kc dl coach..

seems like holgerson is ok with keeping the offensive staff except the wr coach change..

I'm sure they are all looking at special teams..so foley will probably be getting alot of help...

now we need to get this nfl secondary going, and the right portal folks
