I don't know if it is a down year for the state of Nebraska, the 105 or both but only 3 offers out so far for the local 2026 recruits.

Maybe they only show 3 per page? 🤔

I'm not sure I'd want to try to finish in the top 3-4 in the B1G with Cockeye State's roster.

If the search came out right it's only those 3 on Rivals. Could potentially have a few more, they might be still evaluating some or how things go with other recruits. But unfortunately with the 105 they won't be able to take a chance on the local guys like before.

I get ya. I was mostly just making a joke.

I noticed that too, Cockeye St. and others taking advantage of the current situation with the locals.

1. Do we have any realistic idea how big of a high school class we will take?

2. Why hasn’t Amarion Jackson received an offer?

A wr from Omaha.
Hard pass

I thought someone said there are some legit concerns about his speed that are holding him back from an offer.

His offer list is substantial so I think its worth a discussion.

Substantial in the sense its full of that are fan base doesn’t want to be in the same conversation with

Apparently he doesn't fit the type of WR that McGuire & Co were looking for. Speed was mentioned as an issue. He's not a track 4.4 type guy I think I saw he ran 4.6 somewhere. He has a lot of production the last couple of years though. Will see if Dana and Shorts circle back and take a look at him. If they pass on him I will feel a lot better about it than when McGuire passed on him.

Hopefully since Millard South seems to be the new hot school for instate talent things work out better than with the other Omaha guys the last couple of years.

I'd be very wary about taking a kid from one of these Nebraska recruiting "magnet schools". The rest of the competition is now so watered down, and these teams have, relatively speaking, so many weapons, that everyone on these teams will look better than they really are. The currently existing model doesn't really serve kids very well.

I had heard that both Nebraska camps he was at (through last June) they told him he had to get faster to get an offer. Last summer was only the summer after his sophomore year. Fast guys typically get noticeably faster their last two years of HS. He still has a chance.

Dean sez we'll take around 15, so probably 20.
