2020 Recruiting Thread

Blueshirt?

I had the same question.
Preferred walk-on, perhaps?

It's just a free shirt, in lieu of a scholarship.

Probably a UCF 2017 National Champs shirt

I had to do some digging.............

To be considered a blueshirt candidate, a player cannot host a coach for an in-home visit or take an official visit to a particular school. Gifford will sign Wednesday and enroll in January at Nebraska, where he will pay tuition in the spring before going on scholarship in August on the first day of fall camp.

Hmmm.  Is that an NCAA thing?

Thanks, ELA.
Blue and green shirts are new to me.

Nebraska's run of commitments continued on Tuesday with the addition of Jordon Riley, a North Carolina bounce back, who spent the last season at Garden City Community College.

Riley announced his commitment on Twitter. The newest addition gives the Huskers 20 commitments in the 2020 class.

The defender visited Lincoln the first full weekend in December. At 6-foot-5, 310 pounds, he told Husker247 that he views himself as a run-stopping defender that can play across all three parts of Nebraska's defensive front.

Riley visited ECU over the weekend, but became the third defensive lineman to join the Huskers, along with high school defenders Marquis Black and Nash Hutmacher.

so, what color is this shirt????

a 45-minute visit Scott Frost conducted with Hahn and his parents two weekends ago helped make it clear how much this staff wanted Hahn to be part of the Husker football program. Of the greatest importance, there was also a plan toward him earning a scholarship put in place, with the prospect starting out as a walk-on for two seasons before going on scholarship at Nebraska for the final three years.


A playmaking wide receiver who ripped apart defenses in Class D-2, Hahn put up 4,250 yards receiving during his career while playing 8-man football. He averaged 98.8 yards receiving a game and totaled 101 touchdowns during his high school days. He had more than 1,100 yards receiving each of the past three years, with 1,353 total and more than 135 yards per game averaged his senior season.

4 star across the board now, and won Mr. Football today

Can Martinez won't sign during the early period with OSU.  Wants to see who replaces Hefley first.

Smart move I think. Was not going to enroll early so why not wait until February.

UW picked up a commitment/signing this morning from LB Kaden Johnson, the top player out of Minnesota (in-state recruiting).

Scott Frost, PJ Barnum, Ed Orgeron and Paul Chryst were all in his home during the past week.

And to think there were people (like me) who were worried about Chryst's recruiting.

[Cincydawg]

The Dawgs have 10 signed (of 16 commits).    The interesting think about this is only two are from GA.  They have 3 from FL and 2 from TX and others from NJ, DC, LA.

That's a pretty good spread considering the HS talent that usually is in GA.

And they added a RB from CA now, that is rather amazing to me.

[ELA]

All of MSU's commits signed except RB Jordon Simmons from Georgia.  He had said he wouldn't be signing until February all along, but that's one that really makes me nervous, particularly since it seems more and more clear JUCO transfer Alante Brown, who had his offer pulled last year, after being committed, for academic reasons, but had circled back, seems headed for Nebraska.

What's going on in Austin?
