I used TOS's composite ratings. I did this so you don't have such a large discrepancy between players like say a Tre Bryant last year being #270 overall and #8 RB on TOS to a 5.6 3 star and not even a top 35 RB on Rivals.

In 8 seasons under Bo Pelini we had 3 Composite 5 stars visit: Owa Odighizuwa, Jonathan Bullard, and Andrus Peat (by the way all 3 were drafted within the 1st 3 rounds in the NFL Draft) all signed elsewhere.

For the 2017 Class we have the following who have either visited or have said they will visit:

#4 Foster Sarell (Fresno St.)
#10 Darnay Holmes (Multiple Times, Fresno St.)
#13 Joseph Lewis (Multiple Times, Oregon)
#24 Tyjon Lindsey (Spring game, FNL, Oregon???)
#26 Austin Jackson (On 7/15/16 TT "I will for sure take officials to Nebraska, ASU and USC.")
#29 Robert Beal (South Alabama 2015)
#34 Tyler Shelvin (said he will take official he's 2 away from being a 5 star).

Again, Mike Riley and staff will probably have 6-7 composite 5 stars visitors from the 2017 Class alone, Bo Pelini had 3 in 8 years.

It's refreshing to see all this elite talent interested in NU, but it means nothing if they sign elsewhere.

The biggest step is getting them on campus, if they don't visit we have no shot.
After they visit hopefully we bake some quiche and
