12dozen

The Fall recruiting contact period begins Monday, September 9th, and runs through September 29th. I've already seen mention of Hoiberg and staff being ready to hit the ground running, and a list of potential recruits they plan of visiting. Hopefully, similar information regarding the Lady Huskers, will see the light of day. Go get 'em coaches.

I read in the article, "Williams can't talk about specific prospects, but NU is still looking to sign 3 or 4 recruits for the 2020 class." Can someone at least report official, and unofficial planned visits? It seems this type information is reported almost weekly with regards to the men's basketball program. It would be interesting to see who we are chasing. (OWH/LJS?)

Thanks Red. This forum beats the local papers to the punch again. Well done. Any idea, who they might be targeting in the Atlanta or Washington, D.C. areas?

I noticed some Tweets from the coaches in your "Huskers Win In Europe" thread. They were from July 20 and July 21 mentioning hitting the road for recruiting. Mays was headed to Georgia and Iowa. Goehle to Minneapolis, Ames, Ia., and Thailand. Chuck Love to DC, Atlanta, and Ladera Ranch, California. Amy was headed to DC, Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Grand Rapids, Michigan. No mention of local recruiting. The Stewart girl from Minnesota might have been the Minneapolis target? Just guessing.

It is discussed a bit in the Allison Weidner thread. Quick answer, it does seem we have offered her.

Is that the "Urban Meyer" option?

It's been mostly "crickets" regarding 2020 recruiting. One wonders if the staff isn't saying much, or doesn't have much to say. Did they take the summer off? Who knows. Hard to build/retain interest, without an occasional mention. Would be nice if the local papers put a little effort into covering Nebraska Women's sports, (other than volleyball).

Cliff notes? Won't show me the tweet.

I think you posted a link, a couple months ago, regarding Ohio State recruiting. At the time, they had 5 commits rated in the Top 65. I wonder if any of the violations are related to recruiting.

Isn't it a bit odd, we're not seeing more coverage of her recruitment? I know the Lady Huskers don't have the following football has, but if this were a Top 100 football player, within walking distance of the stadium, there would be daily updates. Are we recruiting her hard? Has she already eliminated us? This years recruiting has a strange vibe. Sorry for the head scratching.

Never posted a link before. Hope this works. It mentions the Louisville offer to Lincoln Highs Gony. https://247sports.com/college/louisville/Article/Nyayongah-Gony-has-a-Louisville-offer-to-play-womens-basketball-and-made-a-visit-last-week-133518374/

I Googled Nyayongah Gony, and didn't see anything about a Nebraska offer. I did see a July 8th article from 24/7 sports, mentioning the University of Louisville being the first to offer her. Looks like a good one.

BirdsOntheBat? Never had a downvote before. What exactly did you find offensive in my post above? Do you work for the OWH?

I've been hoping for some good news on the recruiting front. Not sure, this meets that need. Miss Weidner might turn out to be a great player. At the moment, her offer list is less than impressive. She does have a couple more years of high school ball to shine. Still holding out for encouraging news regarding current year recruiting. The next time the OWH talks to Amy, it would be nice to know if she's been utilizing Official Visits? Has she extended many offers? Maybe, ask a tough question or two.

Have to agree. We are either purposely keeping recruiting quiet, or we don't have much to show for efforts up to now. Can't help but be a bit uneasy. Year 4, plenty of scholarships to give, and less than 4 months to early signing date. Would be nice to hear something encouraging.

Since this is a free site, I suspect there are many more fans, like yourself, than those with insider information. We do see contributions from Sam on occasion. The rest of us, try to share information, as we stumble upon it. Please don't be discouraged. If information becomes available, this is as good a place as any, to see it.

Although, I have concerns at times; I expect we will be improved. Mostly, because of the 2nd year players. These are Amy's recruits. They obviously have, what coach was looking for in players. Just my view, but I think this bunch is above average in competitiveness and self motivation, not to mention skill level. There is no reason to believe, the incoming kids aren't made of the same stuff. It takes time to build the type of depth, where playing time isn't a given. Seems to be the direction we are headed.

Can't argue with the points you've made. With the exception of Nicea, the returning players did not show improvement last year. Development, this off season, is huge. Also, judging from threads on this site, several opposing teams are killing it on the recruiting trail. Huge job ahead, for this staff, to be competitive in the BIG. I hope they are up to the task.

One can only hope, we get to see how Coaches Cook and Williams make this work. Please pick Dear Ole' Nebraska U.

I don't know for a fact, but wouldn't basketball take priority, if on a BBall scholarship? Seems like volleyball would be the "as time permits" sport.

This years freshmen would have made up a fairly salty team.

Damn.... Oregon State with girls 6-3, 6-6, 6-7, and 6-9. There are plenty of men's teams, with less height.

I agree on the weather. Prior to retiring, I would attend an annual, work related, Golf outing in Fargo. The event was always in May. We played about half of them. Some were snowed out and others were cancelled because of Red River flooding. Weather aside, I really enjoyed the town of Fargo.

Happy for the Nebraska girl. Hard for me to not think, "What Could Have Been". Just wasn't in our cards.

I was rooting for Jess. Felt strange cheering for Notre Dame. Glad she is graduating. ?
