I'll take really nice guys who can block and tackle and have a great motor. I saw some video of Hutmacher on my local TV station the other day. That is one good kid who is an amazing physical specimen with tremendous athleticism.
This thread title is the epitome of clickbait.
I'll never understand what these kool-aid drinkers have to gain with these idiotic pump up threads. The Omaha WH and Lincoln Lie-a-gram sells ads, but these sunshine pumpers who post this crap make zero to be wrong for 20 years straight.
You misunderstood my post. I don’t care about OP’s remarks, I just think the thread title is completely misleading. I clicked expecting some new Crystal Balls for Kaden Johnson to be N, but all I found was blue balls.
Wow, you seem like a lot of fun. So the OP likes the recruiting class and Nash in particular. Not sure why this pisses you off so much. Seems like you could use some positivity in your life.
While we wait for the announcement of the next new hot recruit we always forget about the guys who are N already. I saw a video and interview of Hutmacher this past week and man I believe that kid is going to be a player. IMO, he's the most impressive line recruit that we've landed since Suh. Quick and extremely powerful. He IS (or has been)THE NUMBER ONE RANKED 285 LB wrestler in the nation and he has to diet to stay at 285. Supposedly they have him slated to play nose tackle and I'll be surprised if it takes him more than a year to break in to the 2 deep. I don't normally blow smoke about recruits at all. This kid is different. We've recruited offensive tackles very well this past year as well IMO. I'm excited about the possibility that we might finally have the kind of talent we need for the O line AND a nose tackle who opposing offenses are going to have to game plan for. When you start getting state champ wrestlers like Benhart and Hutmacher in the trenches, good things will follow.
And Corcoran is the highest regarded OL recruit we have landed in a long time. That’s what we need to get back to playing good football.
We still could. I'm not going to bet the farm on it but we seem to forget how much we improved last year as the year went on.
Yeah its still possible. I'd like to see them shuffle the OL up but they might not have anyone behind them. That was a major turning point when they slid Farmer into C.
Oh I know, those guys backed off those predictions as soon as I did when we struggled mightily against USA. People dont realize SF inherited like 6 NFL guys at UCF and he got to play them against far inferior competition. Hard to believe the 0-12 UCF squad had more in the cupboard than NU.
With the new transfer rules the recruiting rankings are going to matter less and less. Georgia has already lost half of their 5 star recruits from their last two classes, including the best QB in the nation...and having the #1 qb boosts your ranking DRAMATICALLY. Alabama just lost the #1 DE in the nation. Of course, 4 and 5 stars scale better and we need to get them but a better indicator of a player is their list of offers. If these can be trusted we have a group of guys the last two years who have been offered by the top programs in the country. This is something that did not happen during the Riley or Pelini eras. We had 4 stars who picked NU because we were their most prestigious offer. And in the rare cases Alabama offered a kid...Ameer for example, it was for a defensive position. This is the first time we have anybody on the field that would actually play for a top 5 team since 2009. The announcers said it perfectly yesterday. The last thing you want is a bunch of young guys leading your team but it also shows that the future is bright.
WTH are you talking about. We improved last year in pretty much all aspects of the game as the season wore on. I think that was due to coaching THUS I hope and believe we will improve this year as the season progresses. That seems pretty logical to me.
