Wish he was offered before the dead period, but can't change it now. I hope he flips.Should have been offered awhile ago IMO.
As Northeast said, can be a solid TE, DE or LB.
Interesting thought experiment. Assuming those "Nebraska values" kick in, he might shun us for Wyoming. Leaving Craig Bohl in a bind the day before NSD after being committed this whole time, doesn't seem very kosher if you understand the word committment.
On the other hand, the kid hit the lottery, screw Craig Bohl.
Whatever. If schools didn't go after players simply because a former player or coach had received an oral from said player, that would affect a ton of schools.We shall see about the values. I know all is fair in love, war, and recruiting.. but a little bit of a dick move towards one of your own Tommie O disciples

Besides, he is a Nebraska kid. Maybe it has been a lifelong dream to play for the huskers... So are we supposed to say, "you better honor that commitment you made to coach Bohl. He is a Nebraska guy after all."
Yeah, that sounds silly to me too.
I agree, you do have the right to be a little pissed... But be pissed at Louisville. If they don't take Fitzpatrick from us we don't go to plan B.I think it's both fair for us to be a little pissed and fair for you to say "whatever". It is what it is, hope he makes the right decision for himself.
If he wants to stick with Wyoming-fine, I don't blame him. I understand it's hard to get somebody to change their mind at the last minute. But if he does decide to flip to Nebraska, you have to understand he is from Nebraska and you really don't have anything to offer to counter the pull of a Nebraska kid playing for the Huskers. Who your coach is should not be a factor at all.We shall see about the values.

True. This staff seems to be scrambling quite a bit.Hopefully, next year we won't be doing these last minute, desperation moves. But it looks like we filled a lot of needs and perhaps most importantly reupped the contracts of two of our best assistants.

That what happens when a player gives you his word then renigs at the last minute.
Very true...but that is recruiting and Riley and his staff have been around a long time so they know how it goes and it seems clear they have some solid back up plans in mind.That what happens when a player gives you his word then renigs at the last minute.
Last minute offers to in-state kids aren't always a bad sign. I recall Osborne offered Shane Swanson basically at the last minute, and he turned out pretty good. And that was back when there were more than 85 scholarships on a team and the coaches didn't have to be as particular.
I disagree with this - Riley and staff have been around a long time but they have not tried to recruit at the big boy table before.Very true...but that is recruiting and Riley and his staff have been around a long time so they know how it goes and it seems clear they have some solid back up plans in mind.

So they are intentionally undersigning? And offering other recruits to replace those we thought were locks?Huh?
There's one questionable offer, if that's what people call in, on the table, and that's it. Compare that to Glenn Irons, AJ Bush, Deandre Willis, Dimarya Mixon, so on and so on. Or, compare it to Antonio Reed and Alex Davis...

Falling 6-7 recruits short of our allotment is unacceptable if the talent gap is as great as we have been led to believe. If our talent level and depth is so bad and the coaching staff was aware of this, then missing out on signing a full class is unacceptable.
It's also what happens when the staff is targeting top talent. At this point I'm really glad we're in the mix with some of these guys. And given enough opportunities with top talent, we'll start landing some a few. We're never going to compete at a high level without top talent, so I for one am glad the coaches are going after talented kids. It may take a few cycles, but it's only a matter of time...
Intentionally undersigning /= scrambling to sign people. That's talking out of both ends. The lock that didn't come through is Fitz, one guy.
We're not 6-7 recruits short of our allotment. Technically, there's 20 spots open, the B1G allows +3 to take it to 23. We're at 19 (see P.S., takes us to 20) with the remaining targets of Lamar Jackson, Beau Bisharat and David Engelhaupt. That also doesn't include any walk-on that's been put on scholarship (assuming Weber).
I will never understand why people like you try to even discuss recruiting.
P.S.
Also forgetting coach Williams' son who will count against our scholarship limit so we have 3 spots open as of this post.
Are POB and Derrion Grim counting against last year's allotment? Not wanting to start a fight, just curious.
Because Bo thought Clark would walk on and he didn't recruit him. Terrible decision.I lose track of all of the in-state talent that goes away and develops into standout talent. I would like to see at least a couple more of these kids at Nebraska. Still wondering how on one hand, coaches praised the wrestling ability of several Huskers and then let 6'5" 290 Matt Clark (87-0 heavyweight) go to SDSU where some say he's already an NFL tackle prospect because of his footwork, size and leverage.
So any upcoming attrition doesn't really help them on the limit? Their max is 23 because of the scholarship situation as it stands on signing day?How are they under signing? LJ comes on board, and everyone sticks that puts us at 85, Weber getting the schollie he deserves is 86, englehaupt and the kid from Cali if they come N are 88---at B1G rules.
17 was always going to be a bigger class than 16.
