September Recruiting Thread

It’s kind of remarkable seeing that we’ve seriously been in the running four years in a row for top OT recruits. Kennedy Brown, Jackson Cantwell, David Sanders, and Brandon Baker. Always the bridesmaid. But we were never in the running before.

The average final score in Class A is 43-10.
“The good have gotten better and the bad have gotten worse,” Johnson said.

I don't know if it's been posted here yet, but the Flatwater Free Press did a story on the topic this week:

Friday Night Blowouts: How transfers shifted competitive balance in Nebraska high school sports - Flatwater Free Press

The coach bolted first. Then, the top players followed. The unexpected exodus from Omaha Benson High’s football team months before the 2023 season

I find it a little weird NU can’t come up with $15-$20mm per year in NIL on top of rev share. Maybe it would take more to crack the top 10? At any rate that needs to be fixed.

Small population and no oil money and the average NEbraskan is not a major attention seeker. Plus, it takes a “special” kind of person to want to be an 18 year old’s patron.

Do we know what the Hudl guys are worth (they were UNL grads, right) and if they play in the NIL world for us?

Hudl is worth north of a $1bn if I had to guess. But there are a fair amount of people on the cap table. The founders might have gotten some liquidity when Bain invested back in 2020, but not sure how much.

Good question. I was just walking past their beautiful Haymarket headquarters building Saturday thinking about how pretty much every football team in the country from high school to NFL subscribes to their system (not to mention a plethora of other sports) and how much they must be raking it in.

They did work with us on that syposium this summer for the top national recruits that brought a lot of guys to Lincoln who are now taking return visits. Many of those guys never step foot in Lincoln if not for that Hudl event.

But I have no idea what they're worth or if they are NIL donors. Heck, I don't even know their names. But yeah, Hudl started out as a project for a class at UNL. They showed it to Bill Callahan who spread the word to his NFL contacts and it took off from there.

I mean there isnt much going on in the state. Would think that would be easy to scrape together with no facilities or other needs. Guess we’re just boned.

Personally I don't think we're boned by any means.
Boned is somewhere like Oklahoma state. Nebraska has excellent facilities, fan support, and more than enough NIL to be competitive.
The edge we need to have is quality coaches and player development. Texas A&M has every single asset you could want in the NIL era and managed to pay Jimbo 70mil to get lost, and lose the #1 recruiting class lol.
