2021 ludicruous recruting thread

[FearlessF]

2021 Omaha Westside defensive back Koby Bretz picked up an offer from Nebraska on Friday, and didn’t wait long to jump on the opportunity.

Bretz committed to the Big Red on Monday morning, picking the Huskers over offers from Kansas State, Northern Illinois and others.

Nebraska head coach Scott Frost called Bretz to extend a scholarship offer on Friday night. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Bretz will likely begin his Husker career at defensive back, but could grow into an outside linebacker in Nebraska's 3-4 defensive scheme.

Bretz is a three-star prospect with an overall rating of 82 according to 247Sports and is ranked as the No. 6 senior prospect in Nebraska per 247Sports.

Thomas Fidone‍, the 4-star (HV Rating: 94.9) tight end from Council Bluffs, committed to Nebraska on Wednesday. He announced his decision during a television special in Omaha.

Fidone has long been the Huskers top offensive target for the 2021 recruiting class. At 6-foot-5 and 222 pounds, he is a matchup nightmare for defenders. He is a terrific athlete with good hands. Fidone is also ultra-competitive which showed last month when he competed at the Warren Academy Showcase in Omaha. He ran a 4.63 40-yard-dash with a 37.4-inch vertical jump at the camp.

Fidone represents a huge win on the recruiting trail for Coach Scott Frost and his staff. The Huskers were on Fidone early. His profile raised significantly over the last six months. He’s a borderline 5-star prospect which is hard to do as a tight end. His offer list of over 35 schools matches his lofty ranking. His final group was Nebraska, LSU, Michigan, Iowa, and Texas.

The talented tight end is the 16th known member of the 2021 recruiting class. The Huskers will still add at least one more tight end to the class this recruiting cycle.

Nebraska went from no tight ends committed to two in the class in a matter of days when Creighton Prep recruit AJ Rollins announced his pledge to the Cornhuskers on Friday afternoon.

Nebraska now has 17 commitments in its 2021 class.

Nebraska with a nice commit from 3* LB Micah Gbiyor from NJ.  MSU seemed well positioned until he abruptly cancelled his visit with a couple other NJ commits last week.  I really like his film.

Huskers need defense, good get hopefully

The Huskers have added another defensive player to the commit list.

On Friday night, 3-star (HV Rating: 85.8) linebacker Mikai Gbayor‍ committed to the Huskers. He announced his decision on his Instagram account and Twitter.


Official visits have been put pause during the NCAA-mandated dead period. Yet, Gbayor was able to take a trip on his own to Lincoln so he could see the campus. The defender picked the Huskers over the other schools in his top five that included Michigan State, Ole Miss, Kentucky and West Virginia.

Gbayor is the 18th known commitment for the 2021 recruiting class. He’s the fourth linebacker in the class joining Randolph Kpai, Seth Malcom and Patrick Payton.

5* on 247 Composite. UW beat out his final 5, which included Clemson, ND, PSU and Michigan.

His dad played at PSU. His brother plays TE at UW now.

Yeah, MSU recruited his brother (Hayden) pretty hard, I think he took his final OV to EL.

Yeah, he's a 5*, not a 4*. And a lot of people think he's actually the best OT in the nation. And he's from PA and Dad played at PSU. 

Wisconsin is really annoying man. It's like- let someone else get an elite OL recruit bro. Lol.

FINALY, UW will have a talented offensive lineman to work with.

(It will be ironic when he's just like, decent, and some walk-on from a school with 125 kids who pulls tractors in his free time will blossom into a first rounder)

3* S JahVon Grigsby from Louisiana, who had to push his OV back three times due to COVID, seems like he's just going to commit to Vandy, after being an MSU lock.

On one hand a pandemic, with a new coach is a disaster, but at least Tucker is doing the best he can, whereas I'm not sure Dantonio would even know what to do during this.  Probably a wash, but the next few years could be rough

It's good for Tucker that MSU will likely be in a spot for him to get a long leash. 

I still think he's gonna end up bad.
