Good morning rigorous Recruiting researchers and faithful fanatics! Welcome to the dubious doubters and devoted dreamers! Welcome all!

First off, where does everything stand at various positions?

QB: The Staff is still pursuing ATH/ILB/QB Matthew Tago. He provides depth at QB and can possibly slide to other positions depending on attrition or lack thereof.

RB: American All-Star Game MVP Maurice Washington is first choice. He visits Feb 2. Texan Ta’Zhawn Henry is in the wings if Washington picks Ohio State or Arizona State.

WR: WR recruiting is complete. Although, I keep hearing noise about Nikko Hall, a WR/CB prospect from some school in California I’ve never heard of, Calabasas High. I don’t know how he fits. But, he’s still getting visits from our coaches. Bishop Gorman player and three star recruit Jalen Nailor was just offered this week, as well.

OL: Jarrett Bell wraps up the offensive line. If he fails to commit, Hamilton Hall, Blake McDonald, and Willie Canty are being pursued.

DL: It’s wait-and-see on Masry Mapieu’s ability to qualify. In all probability, even if he qualifies, he will be asked to grey shirt. In fairness to Masry, he’s doing a lot of work right now to get his academics squared away. If things continue to look grim, the staff are working to secure a visit on Feb 2 from three star Texan Otito Ogbonnia. There is not a desperate need for a defensive lineman this class, but it will be an area of emphasis next year if no one is taken this year.

LB: Javontae Jean-Baptiste (no relation) is the top recruit remaining on the board. The coaching staff is battling Ohio State for his services as well. OSU is running out of spaces, though. This may be a case of we get Washington or Jean-Baptiste but not both. I’m hoping for Jean-Baptiste. The crystal balls are starting to trend our way as well. While not getting my hopes up, (I’m getting my hopes up). Caleb Tannor is the fallback option. He is struggling with his decision currently. Raw Italian athlete Habakkuk Baldonado is the backup to the backup.

DB: Cam’ron Jones announces on Jan 27. I anticipate him being a Husker. Kendrick Torain is second choice behind him. ATH Cam Taylor is being recruited as a DB as well. There is the possibility the Huskers take both Jones and Torain.

Myself, along with others, had saw this class ending at around 22, plus Mapieu. From the continued action of the recruiting trail, it’s looking like it may end up at 25 with Mapieu as a grey shirt no matter what. The staff is anticipating more attrition through spring ball than previously anticipated. Bigger classes and a little more attrition just get Frost’s players on the field sooner. It’s a new look for the Huskers as compared to the last couple staffs.

Weekend Visitors Update:

Dominick Watt, three star receiver already committed to Huskers. His first visit.

Cam Taylor, three star athlete out of Alabama. He’s an Auburn lean without an Auburn offer.

Matthew Tago. Someone called him “the Samoan Tommy Armstrong” after watching his film. It’s appropriate.

Nikko Hall, WR of Calabasas fame. Can also play DB. Is #Calibraska still in play?

This list will be updated as needed. There are only ten official visits left to the Huskers for this year, so the staff is being very careful who is invited henceforth. Look for commitments soon after the weekend. GBR!
