Awesome composite post. Much appreciated..thanks

[Cloud@Heart]

Sounds like it just got more interesting with Rahyme Johnson........

 

[iROOT4nu]

Decommiting from UCLA - check

N?

 

[northeastNebraska]

I still hope our staff stays in touch with Keene. He would be a nice 500 mile radius kid to have.

Rayhme Johnson will be N IMO. Surprised he stayed "committed" to UCLA this long.

I would have added Brett Kitrell to that list. He's one Nebraska has to offer this summer (which I think they will once they see him move around after his injury.)

Awesome news. Sure hope he's ready to be N!

What a great surprise to see all of this info at my finger tips. Well Done. Thanks

Kids today have no concept of loyalty, commitment...

Oh wait, never mind.

13 5* on your list HBK4life and countless great prospects from California. Bring them to Lincoln!

We have one DT. Johnson the JUCO seems all but a formality. One more is "finished" and it may end up being Kittrell in-state. Plus a little extra waver room if a 5* wants to get on board or something like that (Shelvin/Eliss).

I'd rather have Kitrell than Johnson IMO. I don't want Jucos here unless they are going to be instant playmakers. We don't need anymore guys like Joe Carter or Joe Keels.

Its far less painful to strike out on a JUCO prospect than it is to watch a HS prospect not develop -- as we did multiple times on the D-Line in the past decade. Obviously, we'd prefer if every player we signed was an instant playmaker but if the coaching staff has identified a JUCO DT and he's high on the board, you can bet its because they expect that he can immediately contribute.

plus its already been decided that a JUCO is going to be brought in.

You can edit to show Kylin Hill to Mississippi State. Committed but leaving recruiting open....
