May Recruiting Thread

Anybody familiar with this player? Doesn't seem like Husker Fans are doing their usual push job to keep all local kids local with him.

Seems like the local talent has really improved over the past 5ish years. Especially the depth. The state has always pumped out 4-7 D1 players a year, but now we seem to have 7 guys going to P5 and another 5 guys going to G5 schools. Realistically, there will be guys going to other quality schools almost every year now, and that's gotta be okay.

Yep, the sweet spot is getting the top players in state, a handful of them will go elsewhere but you want to avoid the Christian Jones' of the world going to another P5 school.

I can see Rhule building a bit of a feeder system with the Nebraska kids. Invite them to camps and for visits. Build a relationship. Communicate you have others higher on the board but tell them to go to that lower program like Colorado St, North Dakota St, lowa, Northern Illinois... to get some quality playing time and develop. If they do well there they might be able to portal back to Nebraska. Rhule is all about building strong relationships as supported by Nebraska having the lowest number of players in the Portal for a Power5 School

I dont disagree at all, I believe he is here for the long haul if we allow him to be. If you saw the time and effort he puts into even the 3rd graders at his camp its pretty impressive. The ENTIRE coaching staff is there with the kids and very interactive even at that age. He took a picture with every single kid, asked them their name and where they are from etc.

Most involved I have ever seen a staff with elementary age kids. NAIA schools don't pay them that much attention.

Rhule did what you're talking about with my little cousin's boyfriend last year. He had a walk-on offer from Mickey and a scholarship offer from South Dakota State. When Rhule came in they took the time to sit down with him and let him know that at that time the smart move would be to go to SDS and then they would see how things developed for a return to Lincoln in the future.

I would imagine they had the same sort of talk with Genatone and now he has a chance to see what he can do in Lincoln too.

Interesting story from Damon Monday morning.

Cooper called Caleb's mom last Saturday morning and wanted to see if Caleb could start school on Monday two and a half weeks earlier then he was supposed too. Reason being that if he started Monday he would end up having an extra month of training this summer.

I guess Caleb and mom said yes but they didn't let Damon know until Saturday afternoon what was going on.

So Damon was running around all weekend and ended up missing the show on Monday morning trying to get everything lined up and moved in for Caleb so he would be ready for Monday. The admin/coaches even had Caleb signed up to take an online class on Monday. They had done somethings but Damon thought they had the two and a half weeks and they had been concentrating on Caleb's graduation.

Damon also said that Caleb was just a hair under 6ft now and up to 200lbs, he was playing at 185lbs in the fall. Sounds like Caleb is pumped up and ready to go.
