Trae Taylor transferring to Millard South

[cwessel76]

Please tell me he’s a lineman.

He’s clearly royalty and no self-respecting member of the aristocracy would debase themselves by being a lineman.

Obviously he’s a punter.

The cap is on the number of coaches who can recruit off-campus. But I imagine the other coaches can still 'scout' guys off-campus.

Well, more my question is if we are holding a practice in Lincoln with all 10 of our full-time assistants coaches at that practice, could a guy like Benning or Busch be on the road recruiting at the same time? i.e. at practices for Millard South, Omaha North, etc.?

What the fuck

A college/high school burner getting blocked. The horror

The geep wade burner is a hs kid?

If that nugget is true, why don’t they team up at some Lincoln high school? Trae (and possibly others) are going to waste a looot of time commuting from Lincoln to Millard daily when he says he’s doing this to be around the Huskers in Lincoln more.

It's only for a summer and a semester. He'll be fine.

I don't think MS would want Benning at their practices...

Probably because of the talent disparity. We’ve seen more kids come up through the Omaha area and go D1 out of state.

This really feels like a 5D chess move. Like @ShortSideOption said earlier, this feels like an olive branch extension to what should be out #1 feeder program in the state.

At this point, you have to get into Millard South for your recruiting. And you can't have happen in Nebraska recruiting like what just transpired in 2026. Nebraska had the 101st ranked class according to On3, and they also had the 101st ranked class based on average star ranking, so the people saying it was quantity based are not correct.

But let's take out the kicker we took and the QB we took that no one even knows who he is so he has no rating, that gets an average rating of 87.409 (even though I took out the two lowest rated guys I didn't take out the two highest rated guys). Nebraska had 3 guys with a higher rating than that, none of whom are going to Nebraska (Cockeye, Alabama, Cockeye State -> Penn State). If you take our actual average recruit ranking, Nebraska had 17 guys that would have been better than our average we could have taken. 17.

You just can't neglect your own state like that if you are going to get the 101st ranked high school recruiting class, and then turn around and get the transfer portal class we got.

No they wouldn't but I hope you get what I'm saying.

Come on NSAA have a backbone.

Not a chance...unless their knee pads are too high or they have too many arm bands on.

In On3 we were 101st in "Score", which is influenced by number of recruits. but in average ranking, we were 43rd (you have to sort by average ranking and count down the list). Not great, but vastly better than 101st

I think they also want an almost guaranteed state championship as well. No Lincoln team can offer that.

. they also had the 101st ranked class based on average star ranking, so the people saying it was quantity based are not correct.

here's the B1G sorted by average player rating (one of our recruits is a zero star taxi quad QB, which drives the average rating down)

The other thing to consider is Millard South is now playing a national schedule against other out of state powers. That’s something no Lincoln schools can offer.

They're not playing a national schedule, yet, and probably not for another 2 years. They play 1 out of state 'national' game.

This was their schedule last year:

I do.

Could a handful of national level recruits change that? Imagine the hype around the Millard South and Junior Huskers game.

No they’re not. Last year they played one out-of-state school. I haven't seen anything announced about 2026, but I would guess they are not playing more than one out-of-state team, if that.

Millard South the new training program for Nebraska.
More recruiting transfering to MS!
