3rd & 7 37yd

Good idea. I was just about to ask which True Freshmen have a chance to play right away?

by @Corn_Huskers 2/1/2017 3:15:17 PM
Is this immediate impact or career impact in regards to the poll

by Hoff 2/1/2017 3:15:23 PM
@Hoff: Career impact. That's why Gebbia is deserving of consideration.

I saw Ricky's comment on not caring about recruits until they do something. I think you should care as they are not signing to a college but joining the husker family. That is what makes nebraska different. Just because a kid doesn't pan out should not be a reason tonot support them. Take guys like adam taylor or Jamal Turner who really never made it as we hoped but it didn't mean they didn't work hard and try. To the newest members of the husker family, and on behalf of those husker fans that see these kids as people, welcome to the husker family... we got your back!

Guy Thomas..Broderick Thomas Part 2 I hope!

Awe very nice I like to fish on White Earth

by FargoHusker 2/1/2017 3:19:59 PM
@FargoHusker: Keep the comments coming folks. Good chat today. We're talking recruiting, fishing, hopes and dreams here.

Best not to think too hard about some of the things Rickey says; he's got a grudge against a statue outside Memorial Stadium

by CDS 2/1/2017 3:20:35 PM
Let's not beat up on Ricky too much. He was in good spirits today. NSD isn't everybody's bag.

by Brian Christopherson 2/1/2017 3:20:57 PM
Can you give a brief schedule of when you are hearing people are signing. I see a couple on the pinned note, but would love to know all the surprises, N's, and maybes! Thanks!!!

by Blaze 2/1/2017 3:22:14 PM
I think Ward is anot under appreciated get for us. Sounds like a no nonsense tough kid. His coach gave him high praise. Sign early without doing a big show. Stud middle linebackers will be key in 3-5 especially if NT is not up to speed.

by Lane 2/1/2017 3:23:56 PM
Rafdal WILL be better than Cethan Carter in the future. The kid is a monster

by Dwhite302 2/1/2017 3:24:05 PM
Last thing then back to football if you haven't hit up Zorbaz you have to BC, just bring the business credit card.

by FargoHusker 2/1/2017 3:24:48 PM
@Lane: I like the kids who sign without a big show. Nebraska was first big school to really come at Ward and he never forgot that. Getting there first matters. Mattered with him. Mattered with Brenden Jaimes.

by Brian Christopherson 2/1/2017 3:25:47 PM
I agree. I used to hold some resentment toward NSD because Nebraska didn't offer me back in '95...but now I get it. I was TERRIBLE.

by @Corn_Huskers 2/1/2017 3:28:25 PM
What are the odds Calvin strings this thing out even longer, a la Terrelle Pryor?

by Josh 2/1/2017 3:28:31 PM
@Josh: I think he'll decide today. I just don't think it will be Nebraska.

by Brian Christopherson 2/1/2017 3:28:43 PM
Refresh my memory again how schools avoid over committing on NSD - I mean is there an over the top scenario where Nebraska (or another) school could get more players than they have scholarships?

by TerryInIowa 2/1/2017 3:28:45 PM
@TerryInIowa: Yeah, the SEC was notorious for oversigning, then cutting bait with kids after the fact. What keeps a school from doing it is that at some point you have to get to 85 by rule by the time the season starts and there's no way around that.

by Brian Christopherson 2/1/2017 3:32:38 PM
John Parella deserves a big fat raise

by PT HUSKER 2/1/2017 3:33:49 PM
Lane, I agree, even though I didn't grow up in the social media world, I still think there is way too much fanfare and glitz with announcing their decisions. The one that was really over the top was the D back, I think it was Holmes, who did the Hollywood walk of fame complete with limo's, autographs, ladies, bling and his announcement written in the cement! Over the top!

by CD 2/1/2017 3:33:55 PM
Thinking back to 2010 with the Owa kid who eventually signed with UCLA....is this probably the biggest wait and see since then? Except this year there are more.

by @Corn_Huskers 2/1/2017 3:35:27 PM
@@Corn_Huskers: This is the biggest wait and see NSD I've seen since covering the beat in 2007. Owa and Andrus Peat were up there as far as individual talents that people just went nuts about waiting to see what they did.

by Brian Christopherson 2/1/2017 3:36:23 PM
Sipple is about to jump on here a little bit. So fire some comments/questions his way.

by Brian Christopherson 2/1/2017 3:36:45 PM
When do Verdell, Hawkins, and Thompson announce?

by James Wilson 2/1/2017 3:37:39 PM
@JamesWilson: Verdell, I'm not sure. Hawkins, not sure. Thompson around noon.

by Brian Christopherson 2/1/2017 3:38:02 PM
So far so good. I also would think we will not have many jump ship as we are really starting over with a new defense, a passing offense, and new special teams. Everyone has a chance. Should be an exciting spring

by Herb-e 2/1/2017 3:39:08 PM
what platform is Daniels, calvin and the rest announcing on. If know might be a nice addition to the Pin. Thanks BC

by FargoHusker 2/1/2017 3:39:11 PM
@FargoHusker: Daniels will announce on ESPNU, I believe. Around 10:30.

by Brian Christopherson 2/1/2017 3:39:41 PM
What time are Husker recruiting targets announcing?
JournalStar.comWhat time is anyone who is on the fence who might pick Nebraska announcing? Let's answer that best we can right now. All times given are CST. Because that's the

by Brian Christopherson 2/1/2017 3:40:47 PM
I agree with not liking cheesy over the top announcements. At least none of them announced by descending on an escalator. That would be SAD

by Herb-e 2/1/2017 3:42:36 PM
Thanks BC, you know if that is able to stream on Watch ESPN. Not my job but could mean long bathroom break

by FargoHusker 2/1/2017 3:43:34 PM
The next big decision comes in about 45 minutes. I will be surprised if Daniels doesn't pick Nebraska. I really will.
