BIIIIIG Visit Weekend.... here's what I know so far - and I'm going to give you a percentage chance of landing certain players as well. Nebraska is clearly not done with their 2023 class. Three spots left in the HS class and they have 3 uncommitted prospects visiting this weekend. There's also a number of 2024 guys visiting this weekend as well. So who's on campus? Here you go:
2023 Class
Demitrius Bell (3-Star, ATH) [Nashville, TN] - Bell was supposed to visit in October but never got the chance so he is not unfamiliar with Nebraska. Bell is a WR but could also be a DB. Nebraska is in the poll position here with Kentucky and Purdue filling out the rest. There's some talk of Alabama but I do not believe it is an offer he can commit to at this time, will be interesting to see if he visits anywhere NEXT weekend. Chances of being N? I'm going to give this one a 60% chance. Nebraska likes him, he hit it off with Rhule and they love his versatility.
Sua Lefotu (3-Star, DT) [Bellflower, CA] - Another intriguing offer because Sua didn't start for his own high school team this year. That said, it is literally the best HS program in the country in St. John Bosco and he still played quite a bit and played well. Sua has other P5 offers and reportedly almost committed to ASU before deciding to wait till Feb to sign. His most recent offers (aside form Nebraska) are from Tennessee and Arizona State. Nebraska is his only OV scheduled at the moment. Chances of being N? I'm going to give this one an 80% chance. I don't think he has other options and Nebraska needs to build depth up front.
Ismael Smith-Flores (3-Star, TE) [Arlington, TX] - Flores is an Iowa legacy but Iowa seems to be lagging in. He's also connected to Bob Wager as his former HS coach. Nebraska sees him as a flex-out TE. He visited Rutgers already (where he has family), and Iowa is still on the radar. Also, recently received a Vandy offer. He's only played one year of HS ball so he's definitely moldable. Chances of being N? I'm going to give this one a 60% chance. I actually think Rutgers is the other team to watch here. But I feel reasonably confident that Nebraska is out in front.
Jason Maciejczak (3-Star, OL) [Pierre, SD] - Current Husker signee hadn't visited yet, not a midyear enrollee so can still use an OV.
Jeremiah Charles (NYR, WR) [Arlington, TX] - Another Wager guy, and another guy that has only played ball for one year. The difference here is that Charles as zero other offers. Not from lower schools or any schools. Nebraska is his only offer. An interesting decision but Wager must see something in him. In fact Charles doesn't even have a prospect page up on 247 yet as I type this, that's how far off the radar this one is. He's a teammate of Flores and played for Wager. Chances of being N? I'm giving this one a 90% chance. The only reason it's not 100 is because I'm not sure how much of a green light he has to commit right away. I think we only have 3 spots - he is now the 4th uncommitted target to visit. Maybe he's a backup to Bell?
