Latrell Neville Commits to Nebraska!

[RedCap]

The former VT committed wide receiver from Texas plans to announce his new commitment on July 4. Lot's of speculation the Huskers could be in the driver's seat with many high profile schools after him.

HAPPY TO UPDATE: He did commit to Nebraska!

for that former VT committed wide receiver from Texas to announce his new commitment. Lot's of speculation the Huskers could be in the driver's seat BUT with so many high profile schools after him, I wouldn't be at all shocked by a late surprise.

are there really many schools actually recruiting him? the offer list does not mean those schools are recruiting him

 

[HominidHusker]

Neville will be a huge addition to the class. Can’t wait for him to make it official.

 

[drubendall]

How many receivers do we have and need? Seems like a lot

how many do we lose? I guess too many is never enough.

 

[RedCap]

I think they would view him as the final WR recruit for this year IF they get him. Too good and the kind of big receiver they want to be able to turn him down.

 

[BeautifulDayintheNeighborhood]

Does he have a tick tock

well as recruits often do they will find out they aren't nearly as needed once they get to campus as they were during recruitment. Programs want a 4 deep but dont really tell recruits that half of them will be 3rd or 4th in line for at least a few years. Kids love the love talk

yes, all those offers are legit offers (via twitter he has ever offer announced with coaches tagged in the thread). Now, it doesnt mean he’s top priority anymore and maybe a few have even backed off of him by now.

Neville will be a huge addition to the class. Can’t wait for him to make it official.

I’m with you my man, I can’t wait for him to make it official. Having a 6’4 almost 200 pound 4 star WR from Texas...yes please.

Of course his state ranking and national ranking are dropping with the suspicion that he is committing to Nebraska...shocker!!

Of course his state ranking and national ranking is starting to drop with the suspicion that he is committing to Nebraska...shocker!!

right, it’s funny how that happens. Like Randolph Kpai, he was ranked a Top 100 4 star player on 24/7 and after he’s a Husker for awhile, they suddenly dropped him out of the Top 100 and Top 250 all together. He’s now barely holding onto a 4 star ranking at 90 (their lowest ranking for a 4 star).

Agreed

Do you see our WR play last year? We need WR help bad.

Kudos to Lubick if he can pull in both Neville and Hardy before coaching a game for us.
Nice quote from Hardy about Lubick:

““I think he's a great coach,” Hardy said. “I've looked back at his history. He's done a lot over the years. I talk to him every day so we have a great relationship. I feel comfortable with him and I honestly can't wait to play under him.”“

[HominidHusker]

Our WR room was desperately thin. We’re now getting reloaded with an ultra quality group.
It’s one of the most exciting positions to look forward to over the next couple years.

that’s basically the same exact thing Latrell Neville is saying about Lubick. He remembers what Lubick did with other Texas WRs and how he developed them into great WRs. That’s very telling about Matt Lubick, I’ll never understand how a few on here think it’s a questionable hire.

Commitment date is listed as 9-15-20 lots time but would be a nice pick up.

To be entirely fair; the converse is also true. Most athletes believe their addition will be an absolute improvement for the team they're committing to, AND therefore they're no doubt promoting themselves into starting or backup positions LONG BEFORE any such promises are made by the recruiting coaches.

More succinctly stated; "If you're the best player, you'll play...(as the coach sells his 'expectations' for the kid).

The kid repeats to himself, "Yeah, I'm the best" (Reassuring himself that the 'Coach just told me so...')

Dez? It’s about time he came home.

Latrell Neville commitment date is tomorrow, not 9-15. I think you have him mixed up with someone else my man.

Edited: ok I see what you are seeing. Rivals hasn’t updated that part. Trust me, he’s making his commitment tomorrow around 1:30.

Yep 1:30 CT on Twitter

 

[bigboxes]

how many do we lose? I guess too many is never enough.

With no JD we needed to land a bigger than normal class. We were already short with Spielman.

I talked to 2 people I trust, (1 in Lincoln & 1 at Rivals) it's already a done deal (6days ago) for N. Very good pickup #GBR

I think with the departure of Walters, the addition of large receivers became more of an emphasis to Nebraska. I think Frost figured out you need the size for possession and down field blocking. BIG learning curve.

kid took a visit to Alabama & Georgia, 2 visits to OU, so I’m guessing those are real offers.

I can’t remember a WR of his caliber committing to NU out of HS, maybe ever.

Niles Paul.

 

[phoenix4nu]

Niles Paul.

Betts too, but those were local guys.

 

[scarletred]

Niles Paul.

That was a after fact... Not many thought Niles Paul would ever be a NFL caliber receiver coming out of High school..

Maybe Ahman Green as a running back, Yes..

True, but he was a big time prospect out of HS.

Wouldn’t you say Betts was bigger?

Not sure id agree with that. Paul was a huge get even if he was an instate player.

 

[headcard]

Maybe, Betts is a freak athlete and was rated really high. Paul was an Army All-American and had all the big offers. Betts grades held him back on those fronts.

Manning and Purify were pretty big gets from the JUCO ranks too.

Huge get for the good guys.

 

[Dean Pope]

Great to get a big WR prospect on board! We haven’t had a kid like this on the team in a number of years. Now, next year, we could have 3 or 4!
