April Recruiting Thread

Jensen will visit Cockeye State on May 30, Missouri on June 6, Florida State on June 13 and he will round out his visits with a trip to Texas A&M on June 20. The playmaker told me why each school made the cut.

“To be honest it's just the places that feel most like home,” Jensen said.

“I feel like I fit in at all of the places and all of them have shown me how they will use me in their offense. I had Nebraska set for June 13th but I canceled it. I might set a different date for Nebraska but haven’t decided yet.”

Jensen’s recruitment has been a very intriguing one to watch from the start. Things just never really seemed to mesh with the in-state Huskers. While he’s keeping the door open to visit them down the road, Jensen seems destined to leave the state to play college football. It feels like a similar situation to his fellow tight end teammate from last cycle Chase Loftin who ended up at Florida State.

Cockeye State and Missouri remain the top two teams I’m watching for Jensen. His quarterback and best friend Jett Thomalla has offers from each school and is also heavily considering them. Another teammate, Amarion Jackson, is committed to Cockeye State already. But we’ve seen Florida State and Texas A&M expand its recruiting footprints to the Midwest. Each are tough schools to beat on the recruiting trail.
something bad in the water at milliard south.. smh
 

This was posted then deleted by user AriktheRed on RSS about Hildebrand:

I can tell you from a credible source, if Hildebrand could commit at this point, he would. He's just waiting until he can make it official

Would be a huge boost to the '27 class. Hope it's true. But I am a little confused as to why he couldn't commit right now.

a little levity - non-conference scheduling alternatives

 
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Joe Cotton is Michigan-bound

There is one follower of his on X that really stands out as different from all the others and appears to be recent - Chip Lindsay, the new OC at Michigan. Michigan was really looking hard for OL at the last portal window.

Cockeye On 3 staff thinks they are a contender

View attachment 52118


My view is that the guy hired a real agency that handles NFL players, and is directing all inquiries to them. I don't think Steve Ferentz knowing him will make much difference in that context. Michigan would be a great opportunity for him. He'd be a likely instant starter.
Just went back to see if there was any activity from Nebraska there was not unfortunately. Looks like he is following quite a few Missouri coaches now.

Looks like he is using these guys for his recruitment.
 

Wilken just again suggested an "interim period" or a grandfathering/phasing-in period for the roster limits.It very much appears she's heading this direction as a solution to the roster issues.

Wilken is raising issues with the new roster limits, specifically for those athletes who are cut. She just suggested to NCAA attorney Kilaru that, perhaps, there could be an exception for those currently on rosters (grandfathering in).



These are such obvious and common sense moves that I am befuddled as to why this wasn't the plan from the beginning. Never understood the 105 cold turkey thing.

I listened to Dean's podcast earlier and he said after talking to some NU officials it looks like they can have 115 at the beginning of August training camp but after the camp they have to be down to the 105. Players that are out for the season do not count against the 105. So they will have a healthy 105 to start the season.

Now if a player has a season ending injury during the season or what level that the other 10 can participate seems to be still up for discussion.

But that's all speculation, right? Becuase no one knows until the settlement is approved. And from the hearing today, it sounds like it might be amended to allow for grandfathering and a gradual move to 105.
