In my opinion, This recruiting cycle is very different from past years. Normally at this time the top schools have 13 to 18 commitment. When the top schools have basically selected, for lack of a better term, the recruits they’re going to go after, The rest of the schools can then go get the leftovers again, for lack of a better term. At this time, I believe there are six schools that have more than 10 recruits committed, none more than 11 or 12. What does does it shrink that recruiting cycle considerably. Recruits that normally take multiple unofficial visits in the fall, are now trying to jam an entire year’s schedule into about six months. With that happening visits will be at a premium, Nebraska, due to its schedule, will have very few opportunities to host recruits in Sept and Oct. that puts pressure on the staff to identify the kids that would commit to Nebraska.
Again jmho.
