Follow along for updates as the Huskers put the final bows on their 2017 football recruiting class.

If Guy Thomas chooses Pitt, then it will remind me of when you pick one answer on the test, which you know is right, but then you start second guessing yourself, and then you change your answer, only to get it wrong. My hope is that Guy doesn't get swayed by Pitt at the last second, only to find that the right place for him was Nebraska -
@IfGuyThomaschoosesPitt,...: I think it'd be a shame because I think he has a good body type for Diaco's 3-4 scheme. I mean, Narduzi knows a thing or two about defense too, so I can get where that is appealing to a recruit. But you make a good point. He's been committed to NU so long, it's sometimes strange when a guy changes course after a mid-January visit. -

BC....gotta say I agree with Red Realist. This is all something else to me how people eat this stuff up like candy. I call it "unicorn chasing" lol. We all know recruiting is the lifeblood of the program. And the more "big star names" we get helps for safety in numbers (see Bama & OSU). But to me, every year at this time we should talking more about the previous couple classes. They are the ones who will be contributing the most. I did a kind of "pilot study" a few years back on our last 10 classes. Just to see how many scholarship players "significantly contributed". Maybe it was just special teams or spot defense. The number was very low. 28-30% range I believe? Injuries, transfers, lack of talent, grades, etc eliminates so very many. All of these recruiting classes had several "must haves" that rarely panned out. A select few do. Just my perspective. Recruiting is an interesting read and signing day is "fun" I suppose. But I caution many to get very worked up either way. If they have a "stud QB"....the rest will take care of itself anyway. ;)

@Trashman: I totally get that point of view, too. I think there's sort of a middle ground view that works. You can find the overhype of recruiting ridiculous, and not let it overtake you, and still care more about the games then a recruiting visit in April. And at the same time, you realize you do have to get some difference-makers on days like today if you want to chase down championships.

I went through recruiting with my daughter and she said for years she wanted to play for a certain coach. When he offered we went to the school and she didn't like it. Turned down a national championship program for a school that won very little. But it was the right school. Moral of the story. You just never know

Here's a bold prediction (from a fellow Californian and now Nebraska grad): Joseph Lewis commits to Nebraska. Why? Because experiencing four seasons is so unique. Everyone in the MidWest thinks that a Californian would never want to leave California's weather, but, in reality, it's boring. It's the same thing over and over and over. And when it comes to Lewis's opportunity at Nebraska, he truly has the opportunity to become a Heisman candidate, for the Huskers are now committed to throwing ball as often as California has good weather.

@BrettKlusaw: I'm not sure who all Tyjon's friends consist of, but Blades might be one. I think he considered Calvin one. He considers Bookie one. Some of those guys are in the 18 class, too. One thing I've learned is that friends following friends to a place thing sounds good up until January, then guys tend to do what's best for them ... which they should, honestly.
