2025-26 recruiting class updates #2FiveCrew

[Laner2]

Hoffken is a classic Rhule-inspired recruit......screw the stars, ignore the sites. Does he hit the physical and non-physical metrics? He does? Offer him.

This makes the Illuminati shake their heads, wag their fingers and come up with non-pithy predictions of doom. I love it.

 

[HuskerLLM]

Too much drama for me. Doing this to give an update? Make a decision and be done with it.

He is visiting Bama, his other finalist, this weekend so basically going to be a pre-visit breakdown

I see no drama with Dawson and his family, his dad being an NFL coach, they know what they are doing

Kid has played organized ball (DE & TE) and Pot Roast was impressed enough that he dropped a committable offer on the spot. I assume they knew enough to really look at the kid during the camp.

6-8. Going to be at least 290 before it’s all said and done. Great frame and pretty good feet

This guy was class of 2022, I think they might still be trying to figure out how much eligibility he actually has remaining

See Chris Wienke….I think we’re safe

If he hasn’t played then he has full eligibility. Age doesn’t matter.

Bingo. Most on this board have full eligibility plus covid years

True, but in this instance age will definitely matter 😆

Correct. Just look at the Australian punters in their late 20s. And some of them look like they may be older than that.

Meh. His dad shows his fair share of drama, too. I'm guessing he could have texted Rhule or sent him a direct message to get Can Taylor-Britt's number rather than put out a Tweet for everyone to see.

Oh, and GET OFF MY LAWN.

I actually thought the same thing myself. Kind of an attention seeking move for an adult.

So did anyone actually listen to Merritt's event last evening? I assume he's still visiting Alabama (this weekend?). Did he indicate when he would make a final decision? You'd have to think Alabama will pull out all the stops/cash during that visit so they likely have the upper hand unfortunately.

I guess I don’t see it that way completely… If they’re NIL offer is substantially higher, then sure. But I think Nebraska is quite a bit closer to home, and if our coaching staff has done a good job building relationships, we still have a pretty decent shot. at least that’s what I’m telling myself.

Hope you're right.

Probably have to at least match whatever Bama is offering. But like you said, we’re closer to home and hopefully Rhule and company are establishing a genuine relationship. If so, and the money is pretty much the same, I think we have a real shot.

This is the correct answer

Our staff knows he will be doing these camps. The entire group of Gridiron Imports players has prepaid and signed up for a June camp circuit. They are all staying at a hotel in Dallas, and they leave as a group each morning for that day's camp.

He definitely towers above everyone else in that group picture.

Last minute change from USC to Auburn for the visit this weekend

Yup. I think he's enjoying the process being a top national prospect. But N the end I think he stays home. GBR!!

nice legs

 

[huntered]

Big German kid, probably grew up playing soccer, could translate to being a good tackle if they can add weight and strength.

maybe can move his feet?

We need to pick up Uto or one of the other PI lads. I'll pick up a fake palm tree and put it next to Brook's statue so that it looks like TO is pointing at it.

Coach Knighton posted a "boom" meme on X at 322pm.

Any guesses who it's for?

 

[cubsker]

Broderick Shull being white is a huge upset.

Mooberry would be my guess.
