Does DB being employed by UNL (Husker Radio Network) change anything with the rules?

I believe he can get reduced or free daycare

It really feels like we plan on taking more than 25 in this class.

It really feels like we plan on taking more than 25 in this class.

I keep saying to myself that maybe they think there are few who aren't really committed. Like maybe a few are thought to have just chosen us as placeholders while waiting for another spot and the staff realizes this. Also, maybe a few are borderline with grades and aren't thought to have to ability to qualify. (That's not really a Rhule style recruit, so I don't really believe that one)

I think we take 31-34 and count on a good amount of turnover due to how the portal works these days. Which is crazy to think about. But I love th culture of compete for your spot and don’t waste our time for 5 years like Bo, Riley and Scott did.

It really feels like it and it will make much more sense with some of the kids we took if we do.

I know what you mean, but I think the class will shrink & somehow to get back to 24-25

If you look at the 2025 thing I did and add up the schollies on there for sophomore-senior, using the existing 23 for this year's class, the total is 79 (at least that's what I got on a quick count). Of course all those guys won't be here; some will get processed, some will leave on their own. But that's a LOT of guys, the majority of which will be guys Rhule brought on board. I only say this because the larger 2024 gets, the more that have to get added to that. I would assume they are looking at having classes in the low 20's on a steady state basis.

I think they are more likely to try to upgrade the class and pare it down over the course of the fall based on senior year performance than take guys they have to process later. It's easier. But that's me.

Maybe they took some kids telling them it's contingent on their on the field performance in the fall. I'm sure they expect a couple of flips - happens to almost every team.

It's really hard to take 31-34 and manage your roster so it isn't super young. That's why no one does it. Your two deep will end up being close to 50% sophs or freshmen

I’d agree. Seems they locked in some high ceiling type of guys with the idea if they don’t show the progress they thought they would they can recruit over them. Essentially backwards from what we’ve seen previously.

Caden Durham to commit 8/25

LSU RB target Caden Durham locks in a decision date​

Caden Durham
The LSU football staff has made Duncanville four-star Caden Durham the top priority at running back in the 2024 class.
During an appearance on The Jordy Culotta Show on Thursday, the Duncanville rising senior revealed he’s locked in a college decision date.
“I will be committing game day against South Oak Cliff on August 25,” Durham said.
With a double-digit offer list, and plenty of programs still pushing for a potential commitment, where do things stand for one of the nation’s best running back prospects?

Teams jockeying for position with a decision date set​

Durham made official visits to Texas A&M, UTSA and Oklahoma in June, giving each team a closer look in the summer ahead of his senior season.
Durham also set a tentative visit to Alabama for September 8, and plans are still in place for an LSU official visit at some point before December’s Early Signing Period.
“It’s going good right now,” he said. “I can’t complain. I’m just taking it day by day and week by week.
“(My recruitment) started this January, really. It was kind of late for me because I was a late-bloomer, but it really jumped off in January. I started football at six (years old). I just kept on playing. Then I moved to Duncanville my sophomore year, and it blew up from there.”
Oklahoma is the program that’s gotten Durham to campus the most over the past year, with LSU next up on that list. The Sooners currently hold the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) lead, followed by the the Tigers.

LSU has Durham’s attention after making him priority No. 1​

To this point, LSU has not pressed for any 2024 running backs beyond Durham.
He’s made three visits to campus since January, including a recent unofficial visit at the end of June – which came just before the NCAA Dead Period kicked in.
“LSU, I like the environment and the people,” he said. “Everybody is always happy and showing love. I went to a breakfast place, and (fans) were talking to me like they knew me. Everyone was always showing love.”
The relationship he’s built with LSU running backs coach Frank Wilson has been paramount in regards to the chances the Tigers have to reel in the Top 10 running back on the On3 Industry Rankings.

“Coach Frank, that’s my guy,” he said. “He built the most trust in me. I can call him up for anything, and he’s got me. He can walk me through anything.”
While the Sooners currently hold the On3 RPM lead, Durham said he’s not counting out any team as he continues to mull over his decision ahead of his announcement in late-August.
For the Tigers, there’s still an open path to potentially landing Durham as the running back addition to the 2024 class.
“LSU, it’s LSU,” he said. “Can’t nothing go wrong going to LSU. The proof is in the pudding. You see it. If you go to LSU, you have a high chance to go to the NFL. If you want to go to the NFL, why not go to LSU?”

Track-and-field will come into play for Durham​

Durham is one of the fastest running backs in America, and he clocked personal bests this spring with a 10.25 100-meter dash and a 21.12 200-meter dash.
He’s being courted by multiple track programs, including both LSU and Oklahoma. Durham’s mother was a member of the Oklahoma track-and-field program during her time in Norman, while the LSU track staff has turned up the heat to assist with the football team’s push.
On Durham’s visit in June, LSU’s track-and-field staff met with the Top 100 prospect and laid out a path for how he could be a member of both the football and track teams in college.
For Durham, the chance to continue sprinting at the college level is a key piece to his recruitment.
“It’s mainly the 100,” he said of plans to run track in college. “I can do the 200, but I am mainly the 100. Then I can run the 4×1.”
