Curious how many top recruits schedule visits with top NIL schools for leverage only.
Big recruiting weekend for Puffs game
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
Now it's up to Nebraska to seal the deal against CU and the floodgates begin to open.
I say let's flip Cortez and get Christian Jones N. And give OU a double FU!!
We need to do better. Sorry, not sorry. We dont poach from Florida Atlantic.
Felt like this kid had a connection and thought he might eventually commit. Seeing Barney playing on Saturday and the DR hype has to have him wondering.
Terry and Mills? That would be huge with Mozee already N.
Things could spiral real quick. I think Neyor has another year too. Receivers coming in waves. Need a homerun hitter at rb from the portal.
I hope both those WR dudes make it to the Saturday night game. Hope Texas is NOT successful in getting Terry to skip the game. Ha.
If the passing game looks good against CU, and we end up on top, we're going to be getting a ton of interest from WR's.
Think that will happen with NIL? The data is showing the opposite as the top players are more scattered out.
Holy crap this is exciting. Now win the damn game. Can you imagine how loud that stadium is going to be if we win?
I’m getting shaky already thinking about it.
Such an important game for many reasons.
I thought that one wasn't quite over yet. A flip now or before signing day wouldn't surprise me.
2026 Kingston (Ga.) Cass four-star quarterback Brodie McWhorter, who's committed to West Virginia, is flying out to Lincoln this weekend to see Nebraska take on Colorado
After it went public, Oklahoma HAD to work on getting him to cancel because if they made an exception for him their whole "no further visits after committing" policy becomes a joke and crumbles. But what would Oklahoma do if he visited Nebraska and then still wanted to go to Oklahoma. Do you think they'd turn him down? I doubt it. Now if he were a borderline 3-star commit, they might enforce that policy. But highly desired 4 and 5-star recruits have all the leverage.
What is the benefit of committing early? Is it to limit teams and noise from contacting them? Seems like it never stops until they sign (still happens for portal).
Well it depends on the recruit. If you're a good but not necessarily stellar recruit you might want to lock up your spot before it gets filled if you know that's the school you want. If you're a stellar recruit you might want to be able to do some peer recruiting or if you have the discipline it's a good reason to be able to turn off other schools from contacting or bothering you. And I think some recruits just want to have the decision out of the way before they start their final high school football seasons. So it depends but there are many potential reasons.
