2021 ludicruous recruting thread

Wisconsin got another good LB yesterday. He didn't have a ton of offers because everyone thought he would play hockey. He was a Gopher hockey commit. Now he's a Badger.

The Huskers nabbed long-time defensive target Ru'Quan Buckley from Wyoming (Mich.) Godwin Heights when he chose Nebraska over Michigan State. Buckley's decision reflected a desire to leave the state to go to school and because of the family atmosphere at Nebraska.

“It was the family,” Buckley said. “I felt the vibe. It was a different vibe when I was there for my visit. I felt it. I felt good. I wanted to leave for four to five years of college, basically. I didn’t want another four years of college in Michigan.

Buckley will not be alone in Lincoln. His mother is making a commitment to Nebraska too by choosing to follow her son and call Nebraska her home.

Yeah he had been pretty adamant all along he wanted to get out of state, was hoping he'd also go out of conference, I think he's underrated

The #44 player overall in the nation and the #4 RB in 247Composite- 4* RB Donovan Edwards- announcing his decision and signing next week on Dec 16th. Edwards is down to Michigan, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Georgia. 

Michigan is going to find out on the 16th if they’ll hang onto Xavier Worthy and land Donovan Edwards. Those are two big-time skill position talents- would be a crushing blow to lose both. Sadly my money is on ND for Edwards and Bama for Worthy. Both are excellent prospects. Worthy is faster than anyone in the country and Edwards is the best RB prospect the state of Michigan has produced in a very long time. He’s extremely versatile- can run routes and catch the ball like a WR and he’s explosive a back as there is in the country. 247 is higher on him than ESPN/Rivals- they have him at #29 overall and the #2 back in their own rankings.

I was just thinking - does anyone know how the scholarship cap would work next year? My understanding is everyone is getting essentially a free year this year - how are they counting against the scholarship cap next year?

5 star receiver Emeka Embuka commits to the Bucks out of Washington. Buckeyes on an absolute filthy streak when it comes to receivers.

don't know, haven't heard anything

one idea, if 5 seniors come back, you get 5 additional ships for 2021
if only 3 seniors comeback, ya get 3 more

Holy hell- watch the film on him.

no way they keep all these guys
Njigba-Smith, Julian Fleming, Gee Scott, Mookie Cooper, Marvin Harrison Jr, Caleb Burton, and now Egbuka.  I think I am leaving at least one out.
kind of like their QBs- they won’t be able to keep them all

Edit:  I forgot Jayden Ballard.  6 WRs in the top 100 prospects, spread over three classes (20,21 and 22)

[FearlessF]

there's a transfer portal

[Mdot21]

OSU recruiting is insane. Only Bama rivals that kind of recruiting at the moment. 

Must be nice.

Look me up when the LOI's are mailed in

Well since more than half of the names there are already on the team, and several more have already signed, I will “ look you up” next week on early signing day for the rest.  

[MrNubbz]

Don't watch recruiting much because of the drama.Some of the guys call news conferences and put 4-5 ball caps on a table with camera's rolling- like the fate of western civilization hangs on their decision.I knew the Bucks already have Njigba he's made the highlight reel and Fleming/Cooper/Scott also,Kids change their minds like they change sox I might look up the current incoming class but 1-2 yrs down the line -  fuggitaboutit

[FearlessF]

I don't worry about recruits much until they've played snaps in a real game
