2024 Recruiting Thread

[FearlessF]

The Nebraska Board of Regents approved a donor’s gift that will help with recruiting, according to KETV. A $1 million Learjet from an anonymous donor can be used by the coaching staff to help with recruiting.

Ohio State wanted Marshall.  So- they just went and got a higher rated RB that Bama wanted (among many others)

and this kid- as backup.  12 rated RB.

And, this kid from Ohio:

I think they will be fine...

Same for UW, minus the Bama offer.

But Bama is actively trying to flip this one:

Hopefully UW can hang on.

Probably headed to UNL or Rutgers.

UW broke this off, FWIW.

Several Nebraska fans think UNL will land a package deal with several of the OSU players in the portal.  Not sure if there is inside info or just wishful thinking.   Either way, UNL needs talent on offense... BADLY.   I'm not sure UNL had a single starter on offense that would have started on another BIG team.

possibly a TE

that's it

This will show my lack of understanding on this topic. Is there known circumstances or incidences where a program or someone that backs the NIL money says to a player in the portal, we will only pay you player B if you convince player A to also come with you?

yeah, except neither Jones or the OSU kid Peoples are rated higher than Marshall....

these are 247's own rankings. Look at the 247Composite or the On3 Industry rankings- which tend to be a better gauge- and Marshall is higher than either in both....

Package deals are not unique but the actual rules pertaining to that are sketchy - good question.

I trust On3 about as much as I trust Booger/Stallions/Weiss /Partridge. Guess we'll find out if it sticks.I remember us argueing about 2 RB recruits about 10 yrs ago and both rolled over and didn't play much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean "technically" it can't be pay to play.

But there were rumors last year that when Thorne, Coleman and Brantley all entered the portal on the same day, and then Brantley returned, was that he had an NIL deal with Oklahoma that was contingent on him getting Coleman to come with him.  Without Coleman, Brantley didn't have a deal

Jeem and his staff definitely doing something right in the trenches on both sides of the LoS, recruiting and developing. Feel like they have excellent S&C guy in Ben Herbert and their OL & DL coaches are as good as it gets in Sherrone Moore and Mike Elston.

Majority of the games are won or lost with the OL & DL.

that's a good question.  I'm sure like any contract, there are variations and qualifiers/incentives.   I have not heard that this would be a packaged deal in that sense, rather, the two are both leaning towards UNL.
