I'm sure coaches love it too. No more month or two of who's flipping? Who's N? Who's bailing?Hated that drama crap.

Big fan of early signing...
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
Huge for programs like Nebraska. Also a complete killer to teams making coaching changes.
The only coaches that don’t like it are coaches in a transition class.
I sure love it. We did really well late, some of it due to coaches turnover. I wonder if that was luck of the draw (turnover happening in FL where the coaches have connections) or if it will be part of the plan in coming years.

1. Fisher was the staff’s 'superstar' for 2020
Of the 21 new scholarship players Nebraska officially added on Wednesday, seven came from the state of Florida. That was after not signing a single player from the Sunshine State in 2019.
A major reason for that success in Florida was due to the work of defensive backs coach Travis Fisher, who was the lead recruiter for six of the seven signees from the state.
Fisher’s impact was so big that one recruit, cornerback
Jaiden Francois
, was rumored to have been fed some bad information regarding Fisher’s future in Lincoln, which caused an hour and a half delay of his signing before that story was debunked.
Frost declined to directly address that rumor, but he did make it a point to give Fisher all the credit in the world for helping to make NU’s 2020 class as successful as it was.
“I have to tell you, every year, there’s a superstar on our staff in recruiting,” Frost said. “This year, he’s one of the top guys. He has a lot of relationships down in Florida from his time there, both in North Florida, where he grew up and down south where he’s recruited for a long time.
“He knocked it out of the park this year, and that’s really valuable for our football team to have a coach that can go out of state like that and bring in the type of talent that he brought in.”
As for the rumors of the rumor regarding Fisher, Frost put that to bed fairly clearly.
“I don’t want to say too much about details, but this process is tough on a lot of recruits,” Frost said. “It’s tough on 18-year-olds. I think sometimes they have to sort out rumors and truths and falsehoods, and in some situations that can go right up to signing day when they put their name on the paper.
“That’s just kind of how recruiting goes. I’m just glad Coach Fisher’s going to be with us for a long time.”

3. Huskers have reshaped their receiving corps
Between the four new additions added on Wednesday and bringing in Jaimie Nance and Demariyon Houston, Nebraska’s wide receiver room is going to look vastly different when the team returns this spring and fall.

Nebraska , the Huskers significantly upgraded their firepower at a position that was clearly lacking depth the past few seasons.
“That’s one position where we need to improve,” Frost said. “Obviously, we have a couple of good pieces. JD (Spielman) has been a phenomenal player around here for a long time. We’re lucky to have him back another season… Obviously Wan ’Dale (Robinson), everyone saw what he could do this year… I think we’ve got a lot of young receivers in the program that we’re excited to work with in the spring.
“When you look at that position, just being honest, when we came in as a coaching staff, we only had four receivers on scholarship. We usually carry 10 or 11. That was a position just by numbers that we had to rebuild.
“We feel good about this class and where it’s going to take us… I think we did a lot to upgrade that position.”

bro you forgot 4 star Darien Chase. And I’m guessing you left Zavier Betts (our star WR that’s as dam near a 5 star) off because he hasn’t signed yet?
Talk to Robin. I just cut and paste part of his article. Lol
Year Zero is real. Programs and ADs need to treat new hires accordingly, given this new reality.
Seems Moos gets it better than most.
Both he and Held need big raises. IMO, Fisher's room showed the most growth this season, and he recruits like the devil.
wow, sorry bro. I work nights (2nd shift) and I was trying to read and keep updated between doing stuff. I see what you’re saying now. My bad.

Plus most of the class is filled they can start working on the classes of 21 and 22 way ahead of the curve.
Yep I heard that FSU and Arky only had one full week (rather than 3) to go out on the road recruiting. That is brutal.
