July Recruiting Thread… it’s almost gameday

[HuskerPAC]

Is that traditional Mormon music?

Maybe Bo/JP or whoever the DL coach was aren't all that great at identifying and landing talent

I think it’s fairly well established that Bo and Pals were pretty lazy talent evaluators. I think they just logged into rivals, found a list of dudes and sent out offers during their 2 month summer vacation

 

[Fargo Husker]

Good for him.

Also my personal hawt take is that there are so many of these all-star games now that being invited to one isn’t as indicative of a recruit being “great” like it was before.

“Coming from Germany, we learn about college football a little different than American Athletes,”

LOL

Translation: “Coming from Germany, I hadn’t previously learned that Maryland is a garbage heap program compared to Alabama.”

Yes but no. The UA game and All American Bowl are still cream of the crop. There are a lot of em that guys celebrate that really aren't quite as big a deal. I think of it as those top two are NFL while everything else is XFL.

NAPLES, Fla. – FBU held its annual Top Gun Showcase over the weekend at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex. The three-day event brought together over 1,500 prospects from the class of 2024, class of 2025, class of 2026 and beyond. With invites to the All-American Bowl, National Combine and FBU Freshman All-American Game all up for grabs, competition was intense. 247Sports takes you inside the event below.

NEW ALL-AMERICAN BOWL INVITES GO OUT​

–Chauncey Bowens, RB, North Palm Beach (Fla.) The Benjamin School, Georgia commit: Bowens is a rocked-up, 220-pound downhill runner. It’s not easy for those types of running backs to shine in a non-padded setting, but he had his moments during 7-on-7 play as he was able to make a few nice snags coming out of the backfield. Bowens – in theory – shouldn’t have much issues moving the chains in the SEC behind a six-man UGA offensive line class that’s averaging 333 pounds.

–Kensley Faustin, DB, Naples (Fla.) High, Auburn commit: Faustin was all over the field making plays in coverage on Saturday. He’s instinctive and plays with a ton of confidence, which in turn leads to plenty of takeaways. Faustin might not have elite speed, but the local product changes directions well and showed as a junior that he’s a textbook tackler. The Tigers like Faustin at safety, but he could offer some versatility as a slot defender as he’s serviceable in man coverage.

–Jo’Ziah Edmond, DB, Nappanee (Ind.) Northwood, Purdoodoo commit: There wasn’t a better looking defensive back in attendance than Edmond, at least when it came to a height/weight/speed standpoint. Edmond is long and can run. He started his prep career off as a wide receiver, but has got more and more burn at defensive back. And while the technique might still be a work in progress, the tools are there for him to emerge as a difference-maker in the secondary.

–Jackson Hancock, ATH, Canton (Ga.) Sequoyah, Missouri commit: Hancock is a utilityman on Friday nights that doesn’t come off the field. He spent most of the weekend working at wide receiver and flashed superior burst, which isn’t surprising given his testing profile: 4.5 in the 40-yard dash to go along with a 10-foot broad jump. Hancock is a nice find for the Tigers down in the Peach State. He’s expected to settle in at safety when he arrives in Columbia.

–Gibson Pyle, OL, Houston (Texas) Klein Cain, Nebraska commit: Pyle was the best offensive lineman all three days. So, it’s not surprising that he punched his ticket to the Alamo Dome. Pyle did a nice job of establishing a firm base and setting up for combat in the trenches. He then used a powerful upper half to deter pass rushers. Pyle spent his junior year lined up at tackle, but will likely kick inside when he arrives in Lincoln to play for Matt Rhule and the Huskers.

Carl was too busy…

[Dell Husker]

Just keeps falling down and down. Might be a 3 star by the end of it

 

[Carm]

I know we are all looking at him being and IOL at Nebraska, but these figures suggest it is at least possible he could play tackle (plus he is 300 lbs now) when you factor in the shuttle. He has the arm length necessary

Not trying to make any jokes... what does the word "highest" mean here? The lowest time is the best, yes? What do they mean by "highest linemen"?

probably highest ranking linemen, but I agree, whoever came up with it was a bit dim. It would have been shorter and clearer to use the word "best"

Graded out highest I assume

Did the most pots before shuttling, obviously

When you're mass producing plaques for every drill/position group combo winner at the camp, quality control suffers.

Lacy now a 4 star on On 3



4-star RB Kewan Lacy – Nebraska commit

On300 Ranking: No. 298
Previously Ranking: Unranked
School: Lancaster (Texas)

Scout’s Take: Kewan Lacy has always looked the part of a three-down back. And for us at On3,
we had been waiting for Lacy to lay down some verified athletic measures in order for us to
vault him into that next tier of running backs in the 2024 class. This past track season he ran a
10.79 100m dash which proved he has more than enough top-end speed to hit the homerun ball
and split safeties at the next level.

He also measured in at the Under Armour Dallas camp during the spring camp circuit at nearly 5-foot-11, 200 pounds and ran a 4.33 shuttle combined with a 32-inch vertical. That athletic ability at his size translates to the college level and beyond. Pair that with his production at the high school level last season, 1,002 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, we expect Lacy to continue his rise and develop into one of the top runners of the football in the country.
