After seeing some of the recruits that the coaches have offered this seems like a mistake not offering him so far.

6'2 185 sophomore

4.61 electronic 40, doesn't run track. Not the kind of WR they recruit. (4.61 converts to slightly over 11 seconds in the 100M)

I understand what they look for but they aren't exactly killing it WR recruiting this cycle.

Like I said I think it's a mistake to not offer a good recruit in your own back yard just because he doesn't check boxes xyz on your recruiting chart.

I'm starting to get the feeling the coaches are so focused on a recruit having certain numbers that they aren't seeing the forest for the trees in some cases.

He's 2026 so he still might end up with an offer eventually.

It's still very early for 2026 commits (we have no 2026 commits and in the B1G only USC - with 4 - has more than 2) and we have 24 WR offers out now. No reason to move off the recruiting model for 2026 as yet. This cycle isn't really driving 2026 at this point. We have 11 WRs on the roster with either 3 or 4 years of remaining eligibility plus two 2025 commits.

I absolutely do not accept that McCorter is a real person

I’m sure I’m in the minority but I’m fine with no walkons.
What Nebraska has been doing for the past 20 years clearly isn’t working well. Scale back the focus and large rosters. Let’s be some six sigma lean leading mother fuckers

My counter is that with NIL, “walk-ons” are starting to become borderline, or certain, scholarship worthy players. It allows us to increase depth because we can afford it. In other words we have the luxury of throwing money at the roster when we don’t under a limited roster.

Is spending 20k/ on 15 players worth more than 300k on 2 players?

This question misses the point.

Having the flexibility to buy players off scholarship that can be starters, and nothing that truly limits how many of them we add is immensely valuable. Stefon Thompson, Ceyair Wright (🤞), Isiah Neyor, and Jamal Banks are on our roster without a scholarship and will be major contributors.

Yeah - rather than spending large amounts on a relatively small group of highly sought after players we are playing a numbers game.

I prefer spending a lot on a large group of players.
