Many have mentioned Will Honas.
I will agree, especially as far as immediate impact goes.
Martinez is a huge one, too.
So is Washington..
But Honas will have the immediate impact.

Without the commitment from these two...who knows where Nebraska would be right now!!

Surprised that hasn't ruffled a few feathers in the TC crowd. What happens if there's only one scholarship player from Nebraska signed again next year?
Having a hard time choosing just two commits out of this class. HCSF & Co. killed it this year with limited time to salvage & fill the class.
I'll go with:
1A) Washington
1B) Greg Bell
Both of these dudes will be difference makers at RB.

My favorite is Maurice Washington. I love the idea of getting a top five I-back recruit signed and into the program. The other one is Greg Bell-- since Mike Rozier, I've also been a proponent for bringing in the best juco back you can find.
Next year, I do expect to see Bell and Washington leading the way in the Husker backfield. Ozigbo and Wilbon have had ample opportunities against far worse competition to prove themselves. I don't expect them to do it now.

Im for whoever wins it. Perhaps with some proper coaching Ozigbo and Wilbon will be much improved. Though i do expect to see Bell, if Washington inst better than all 3 i dont see a reason to burn his redshirt. No need to force kids to give up an extra year of learning a system and developing unless they win the job.
Miles Jones sounds like he can be a difference maker potentially as a true freshman. Washington maybe as well. Might be tougher for Tannor to contribute right away. It will be fun to watch their development.
Actually, I think this year bodes well for a few more in state offers. I'll have to keep a close eye on players in Nebraska this coming season.
I'm not used to being this excited for a new class. On paper it seems we have a ton of future talent.
To my untrained eye, here is what I see:
Question Marks: LeGrone, M. Williams
Projects/Need time for development: Canty, Clark, Farniok, Alston, Hunt
Huge potential: Rogers, Wildeman, McGriff, Taylor, Watt, CJ Smith
Dynamic Now (could play next year): Martinez, M. Jones, Tannor, Washington
Instant Impact: Honas, Bell, Woodyard, C. Jones, D. Williams, Pickering, Jurgens

There we go. I knew Cletus would bite and that the butthurt would flow. Well done!
McQuitty and Hunt are similar recruits on paper. McQuitty had a 5.8 rating opposed to Hunts 5.7. Their offer lists are different based on their location, but are comparable. There body types are similar. But last year, before the injury, McQuitty was going to be relied on for playing time and this year Hunt is a ‘need time for development’ guy.
I’m not saying I disagree. And maybe McQuitty was a much better recruit out of HS (I don’t know a ton about Hunt other than is recruiting profile). The long way to my point is, it is amazing how fast this staff changed the WR depth.
McQuitty certainly had a lot more hype around here and his summer camp showing certainly impressed some people. Both about 6' and 4.7 range speed-- although those are summer camp times and I'm sure much faster times are reported for both. Very similar prospects.
That brings me to a great point I heard yesterday from one of the analysts. It's nice to see some guys like 6'5" McGriff and 6' 2" 233 lb. Legrone in this class. Better to have some different weapons in the offense rather than a bunch of guys who all look the same and do the same things.
This receiver corp needed size badly. We have some small shifty guys and we have some 6'-6'2 guys. But really nobody of any size. (Remember when BYU beat us a few seasons ago with a 6'5 and '6' WR?) I am extremely happy to see some guys with some height.
How fun would it be to see a goal line or short yardage package with McGriff (6'6), Jurgens (6'4), Allen (6'8) and Rafdal (6'7)?
I would love to see that. In the end, it's about winning games. That lineup there would be a ***** in the red zone. And it could happen given the simplicity of this offense and the coaches knowledge & experience with it. We haven't had that since the Solich era.
In the end, it's about winning football games. That lineup right there would be a nightmare for a DC to worry about. And while, some fans fret about how many stars McGriff had, what the coaches understand is that he is really big-- do I cover him with my 5'9" slot corner or a linebacker? To me, I love having that on my team.
Agreed. Mismatches at the WR position is something we've missed for awhile (Reilly was 6'2 and he was our 'size' guy). The last WR that had some production and some height was Brandon Kinnie (at 6'3). Or Todd Peterson (at 6'4).
honas. golden eagle! and played for an old buddy of mine.
wash. seems like the deal of the century.
