Things I know and think I know concerning recruiting and the transfer portal... this will be a quick one...
QB - Nebraska wants McCord... questions is, does McCord want Nebraska? He will be visiting this week and if things go well I do think he will end up a Husker. That said... Will Howard is not out of it as a possibility. While some have Howard higher on their board than McCord I honestly do not think Satterfield or Rhule do. They want McCord, they don't want a running QB but they want one that can use the pocket and get out of trouble to look downfield. McCord isn't a burner but he has good pocket awareness and enough athleticism to get out of trouble. He's The #1 target... after him, I think they are looking hard at McCord or Leavitt. Not sure who else after that.
- Other teams in consideration? Some of the teams have already chosen another QB but Syracuse is surfacing as a serious contender for McCord as well. However, Nebraska may be getting him at the right time. I do not believe McCord wants to take a long time to decide. If a decisions doesn't happen this week I expect that both McCord and Nebraska have moved on. I could be wrong but that's my read.
RB - Nebraska IS looking to bring in the right RB transfer. Right now, two names that look interesting to me are Iowa State RB Cartevious Norton who didn't do much at ISU so that's an interesting look. Also, look for some possible movement with UF transfer Trevor Etienne.
WR - Julian Fleming will be visiting this week as well and Nebraska is battling out PSU for his services. Regardless of what Ohio State fans say having McCord in the room WOULD be a boost for Nebraska's chances for the former 5-star.
OL - Nothing to report here
DL - Nebraska is set on DL so unless a talent emerges that is a definitive take they will not pursue which makes Princely Umanmielen's entry into the transfer portal so interesting. The older brother of Princewill has hinted at a Nebraska visit and his family LOVES Matt Rhule. Princely was set to commit to Baylor before Rhule left for Carolina. He has no shortage of suitors. Colorado, Oklahoma, Georgia, Texas, Ole Miss and Nebraska are all players.
That's all I have for now... I expect movement to be happening fairly quickly this week.
