Any rumors on 2014 prospects visiting during spring game?

As we wait on the news of Atewe's announcement, I haven't heard any rumors about prospects for the 2014 class and beyond visiting during the football red-white game on April 6th.  Just curious if anyone has heard of any potential prospects visiting?  

 

It would be really cool if Miles could make an annual event of hosting 5-star and 4-star recruits during this weekend.

I believe the spring game occurs during the dead period for basketball. I also heard that the basketball staff was a bit miffed over the timing of the spring game, but Bo wanted to start spring football early this year.

robin confirmed since its during the one week dead period, no visitors.

Thanks, I thought that might be the case since we haven't heard any news about it.

And once again as soon as a topic is posted on this board it gets reported on by Robin (in this case) or Brian. Props to them!

Even if it wasn't a dead period, it might be hard to get someone to schedule a visit on Final Four weekend...

I think that's why people are saying the basketball coaches might not be happy with the way the spring game was timed.

Sucks for the bball coaches but it was by far the best decision possible for the football team. Tons of benefits for them.

We are not just a football school.  Coach Miles can/should/will/must recruit without the assistance of football.

The value of the football spring game as a Nebasketball recruiting tool appears to be questionable.  To the best of my recollection, Nebrasketball hasn't signed a basketball recruit who took an official visit during the spring game in . . . like . . . forever.  Anyone remember things differently?

Perhaps the football spring game can be a nice event for building relationships with younger players.  But the value for closing on a current recruit seems questionable.
