Kids a must get -



EMERSON, Ga. – It’s been a busy June for Omaha Westside (Neb.) four-star linebacker Christian Jones. He’s been working with his team to get ready for the upcoming season. When with his team he’s been working towards making his hands more violent and destroying blocks at the point of attack.

The defender went down to Texas A&M’s camp where he earned a scholarship offer from Jimbo Fisher’s program. He also competed in the Future50 event.
“It was good,” Jones said. “I was surrounded by elite people and elite talent. It was really fun and I got better for sure.”
His final camp stop of the summer was in Georgia to take part in the NextGen Five-Star Pro Day. Jones likes competing and wanted to test his skills against some of the nation’s elite talent.
As for his recruitment, there are a handful of schools who are pushing hardest for him right now.
“I’d say Nebraska is who I hear from the most. Then Notre Dame and Oklahoma,” Jones said.
Jones has taken notice of the in-state momentum that Nebraska has right now in recruiting. The Huskers have six Nebraskans in the 2024 class right now and two in the 2025 class. His relationship is also growing with the Huskers.
“(The relationship) It’s good. Coach Rob (Dvoracek), the linebackers coach, I’ve been building a good relationship with him. I like him Coach (Matt) Rhule too. I like the people there.”
“They’re just personable people. It’s good to talk football plus family and faith. They all have some of the same common denominator. They are all about brotherhood and getting you to the next level.”
Jones’ recruitment could still blow up as more schools find out about his talents. He was a top performer at the camp and was named linebacker MVP. He knows exactly what he’s looking for as his recruitment progresses.
"Coaches that are going to be there, make me a better man and player to get me to the next level," Jones said.

“I was surrounded by elite people and elite talent.“

That’s “elite” Rhule speak. Good sign that he’s picked up HCMR vernacular!

Recruiting is so much more exciting under Rhule. More twists and turns - like there are things happening unseen everywhere, until they pop up out of nowhere.

It used to seem so passive by comparison to now.

Rhule is such a gangster.

It’s funny what all out effort can do. It has happened before. It can happen again.

Agreed gents.

RE: GNR, over the next 3-4 yrs it will be interesting to see what things happen in NU FB program that are (a) a result of Rhule's unique talent or (b) happen just from basic effort.

I have a working theory that this program goes 8-4 min every year with even a C+ level HC who puts in A+ level effort. But you had Pelini who acted like you had to be a wizard to recruit at Nebraska. And you had Frost who couldn't evaluate + develop talent if his life depended on it. Husker fans are jaded to the point where they now think only Saban or Urban in their prime can actually win here.

I happen to think Rhule is uniquely talented...but I'm not sure that's even a requisite for going 8-4 here. Just outworking people on the recruiting trail seems to be like 75% of the battle (obviously you have to have a winning program too).

Haha! Slow down gents! All is good but don't go Callahan style!

Per Mongo's revised Big Board

There is a rumor floating around that OU doesn’t have any room left for Jayshawn Ross. Having his high school teammate, Keelan Smith, in the Nebraska class could help the Huskers’ chances.

This is one we need, boys.

But take this rumor with a Mongo sized grain of salt.

Would have been easier just to put the schools in that that he eliminated.

Except that was not an edit showing his top schools, it was an edit to show who all has offered....
