November Recruiting Thread

[Baron Winnebago]

2026 was set to be a small class. Missing out on some big fish for this year combined with Trae Taylor's commitment lead to a plan to focus more on 2027 and fill needs via the portal.

I'm more curious as to how they're getting all of these dudes to campus. I get the small class thing but this is the highest level of foot traffic to Nebraska since Billy C was throat slashing at hillbillies

They can pay these guys NIL money to show up for visits, so that’s some of it if I had to guess.

Probably doing it all now that NIL is more competitive.

Honestly Trae Taylor is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. He has developed tons of connections all over the country after years of 7v7 and camps.

I hope Donny hits the road, otherwise I hope we bring in a way better OL coach and move Donny to another role somewhere. He is by far our weakest link and you’re only as strong as your weakest link.

I really like Rhule, regarding Satt he has done a great job so far in his TE only role especially if he lands us Cooper and Ahmad. I just figured he didn’t want to stay here at NU with a 50% + reduction in salary, and with Barthel looking around last year I figured he would leave on his own.

Gosh, if Rhule can find a way to move Donnie on to another school/position, help him save some face publicly and keep DR and Dom fully on board that would be some legendary maneuvering.

So many moving parts and different egos and reputations to account for and massage. If Rhule could pull this off that would be pretty amazing. That being said I fully expect Donnie to be our OL coach next year. But one can dream I suppose…

Hey Dom, look your bro cost me my QB this year. Ay, so uh, look we can’t afford that again. Nor can Dylan have that again if he wants to play on sundays. So, uh we are gunna have don don move on. Sam Pittman is our new dude. Kapeesh? Good.

He's obviously has done a lot of work in the 2027 class but he's also connected to the top 2 recruits in the 2026 class with Odem and Mpouma and Miles as well.

He seems like a likable guy and recruits usually have positive things to say about him after visits. Maybe they can convince him to take a role in the personnel/recruiting department. It's done wonders for Keith Williams.
