So the red flags people tried spreading are not there anymore? Great work Rhule
With him and Fleeks, we may be losing Jackson. He hasn’t signed yet. Only player left to sign of our existing commits.
Who are the 3? Brown, Washington and ??
I think we need an instant impact portal guy to replace Palmer.
Coleman, the country's No. 65-ranked overall player and No. 2-ranked athlete nationally, is booming with potential. He's a 6-foot-5, 196-pounder who runs a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash, a 10.46 in the 100-meter dash and has a vertical leap of 41.8 inches. That combination of size, speed and athleticism are what make him one of the highest-ranked players in the state's history.
It's also what makes him the ideal Rhule recruit.
While Coleman is loaded with all of those tangible athletic gifts, he is still raw and has a lot of room for development. That's what gives him such a high ceiling in Lincoln, and now he has a coach guiding him who has a strong track record of developing players with raw skill sets – skill sets that aren't as impressive or as vast as Coleman's.
Coleman initially committed to Nebraska on Oct. 22 but reopened his recruitment on Dec. 1 following the arrest of Mickey Joseph, with whom Coleman and his family had as strong and impactful of a relationship as you will see between a Nebraska coach and a high school recruit.
It was going to take a strong, concerted effort from Rhule and Co. to prove themselves to Coleman and his family. Rhule got to work immediately, making it clear how highly prioritized Coleman was to him and the Huskers.
"I was one of the first people that Matt Rhule called," Coleman said on the day he decommitted. “Nebraska’s definitely not out of the picture.”
Rhule backed up that talk by visiting Coleman at Lincoln East on the first day of the live period, Dec. 2, and made an in-home visit with him hours later. The communication continued throughout the next two weeks and included Coleman's official visit Dec. 9-11.
Others got in the mix, too, with Michigan being the other keynote competitor while Syracuse and Louisville traveled to see him during the last two-plus weeks. In the end, though, Coleman's recruitment came down to a two-team race: Nebraska and Colorado
Sanders and the Buffaloes came calling, and Coleman listened. But the Huskers spoke to him louder.

You don’t give Liewer as much credit as he deserves. He would have been a 4 year starter for Tom. Solid guy. Smart dependable guy to have on the depth chart compared to a couple of the NFL talent guys who couldn’t remember their job. We’ll see where he fits with Rhule.
Would hate to see Jackson go, but NU should only want kids who want to be here for this rebuild.
wasn't Liewer the guy in game 2 who walked up and touched the football after a punt....to us...and there was a scrum after to get the ball? number 85 if I recall, and I channeled Billy C, we are the dumbest team in america.
Pretty sure that happened in game 1 against northwestern. And you may be right that it was Liewer… what a boneheaded play!
Edit: the more I think about it, you may be right on both counts… seems like it was game 2… if so, my post is totally irrelevant, except for the boneheaded comment.
No..... Wyatt Liewer should never see the field and no he wouldn't have ever been a 4 year starter. Come on Dinglefritz... Don't go down the dark path.
Then someone better beat his *** out. Blame the parade of 4* in rating only recruits that Riley and Frost brought in. I'm tired of these 4* who want everything handed to them.

Those are insane measurables. Good luck covering him Big 10 DB's!! Damn!!

Yep he would’ve probably made a great WR in an offense where his actually touching the ball was a very rare occurrence
Its 2023. Get speed on the field everywhere while the majority of our conference still thinks it’s 1989.
I don't know how much or how well he can tackle, but damn he could be an absolute freak at outside linebacker.
