Henry Gray enters portal
- Thread starter slwags

I’ve been thinking the virus will hurt us more than most big schools. Players are going to be less mobile, out of both want and need to be close to home. We get most of our guys from far away. You may see mid-major schools in recruiting hot beds really benefit. And no this virus isn’t going away anytime soon.
no joke, I’d get it if he was here one season and didn’t get to play but this, he hasn’t even been through one fall camp yet...he’ll, didn’t even really practice. Wow, just wow!!!
Not that it matters, but I don’t think it would drop it that much. Rivals counts the Top 20, so you would be replacing a 5.8 with a 5.6.
If it's a family matter, wouldn't that mean that he wants to be closer to home? So his recruitment isn't 100% open, it's 100% open to schools close to home.
Whats the point of even having NLIs at this point? All they do is guarantee a scholarship for a player but that player can back out for any reason at any time i guess. Why can't schools cut a kid at any time for any reason and say "sorry, pay your own way for school and turn in your pads"?
because schools are already having their cake & eating it, too, when it comes to their relationship with players
but, I suppose that's a topic for another thread
He wrote “A unanticipated” I don’t think we can expect much beyond that

I guess that's a lesson to be learned in class, wherever he enrolls.
He's a 4 star DB recruit from Florida. The latest in a long line of disappointing "national 4 star" recruits.
We will definitely take a dip in recruiting this year. We'll have to have to resort to Walk-Ons, 2-Star, & 3-star players for the next few years. I don't see we getting into the top 15 rankings from recruiting services and some of the good players 4-star players that is on the team might transfer like Henry Gray. It will be hard to get highly rated players to come here with players wanting to go to SEC, ACC, and 1-3 Big Ten teams.
This kid was all over the place to begin with, switched his mind several times before choosing Nebraska. Meanwhile we didn't give a scholly to Gifford...smh, when will people learn that kids have to want to play for Nebraska as well? I get we need out of state athletes, but these gambles are back firing a lot.
Gifford is part of the team and will have a scholly second semester, if not sooner now.
he typed that literally as news broke we landed a 3/4 star WR from SEC country with LSU, OSU, Auburn offers
this thread will be, conservatively, 6-8x longer than the Shawn Hardy II commitment thread
I hope you're not expecting a rational, reality-based answer to your question.
look on the brite side, less Nebraskans players will go to Iowa with this logic!
Floribraska will probably turn out as successful as Calibraska.
I must admit, he looked pretty solid and I think he is going to be a good one.
Just watch and see. This year with the Covid, we're not able to get kids to visit maybe till the fall and with the delays on the remodeling construction of the facilities delayed till next year.
We probably have most depth at DB. Hopefully that's what this kid saw and why he is leaving.
Sounds like he’s leaving because of a family issue
That's almost always a cover.
Thankfully it is at Safety where we should be fine. Farmer, Gates, Gifford...Francois and a few other could play it as well as CB
I think your more than a little off. While I didn’t attend N it’s been my 2nd favorite school for 20+ years. The SEC has 6 legitimate teams then crap. The ACC has what 4 teams and crap. The B1G has 4 but 4 more that’s not far away. Our conference top to bottom is the most competitive of them all. Rutgers sucks but they will get better under Schiano .. as much as I enjoy their ineptitude for 14 years.
N isn’t a lone here, recruiting when visits can’t happen is tough. So far only OS has landed 95% of their targets, yes 8 of which has never been to Columbus. Let’s face facts, they are in a completely different place then us other 13 schools.
Now once recruits are allowed to start taking visits again. I think you’re going to see de-commitments across the board. Lots of place holding happening.
You said we will have to rely on 2-stars and walk-one for a few years. Yes, Covid is really hurting us, but we should have a vaccine around the first of the year, so recruiting will return to normal sooner than later. I think we may see a little dip this year, but will be fine overall.
I can’t believe you are still here. That is insanity.
Baffling and frustrating, there's no other way to spin it. Kid is very talented, you sign a 4* kid and not only does he never play a snap, he doesn't even stay around until the season starts. Complete "WTF" situation.
I don't know if the data backs it up, but NU feels snakebitten when it comes to highly-rated kids. Seems like more than our fair share end up as busts or transfer out.
