(updated 12/04/05)
Updated: 12/04/05
NAME: Josh Freeman
CATEGORY: COMMITTED TO NEBRASKA (6/3/05). Named U.S. Army All-American.
RATINGS (RIVALS): #4 Pro-Style QB, #99 in Rivals100, 4-stars
RATINGS (SCOUT.COM / INSIDERS): TBD
RATINGS (EMFINGER): TBD
RATINGS (LEMMING/ESPN): TBD
HEIGHT: 6'-6"
WEIGHT: 231 lbs
SPEED: 4.75 sec.
HOMETOWN: Grandview, MO (??)
STATS: (Sr) Pass: 55%, 2,400 yds, 23 TD, 6 INT
STATS: (Jr) Pass: 55%, 2,400 yds, 23 TD, 6 INT
NOTES: Scheduled NU visit: 9/9/05 (WFU). Major steal, lots of upside. Improved dramatically from his Junior to Senior year. Is a huge QB, at a legitimate 6'-6". Reminds you of a Culpepper or McNair in terms of body type. Has dominated inferior competition, will have to adjust to the D-1 level. Coaches are thrilled at this pick up. Probably a better prospect than Harrison Beck was a year ago.
OTHER OFFERS: Oklahoma, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Texas A&M

Updated: 12/04/05
NAME: Kenny Wilson
CATEGORY: COMMITTED TO NEBRASKA (11/13/05). Former 4-star #14 RB (Rivals) in high school in 2004.
RATINGS (RIVALS): #1 JUCO RB, 4-stars, #7 in Rivals50 JUCO.
RATINGS (SCOUT.COM / INSIDERS): TBD
RATINGS (EMFINGER): TBD
RATINGS (LEMMING/ESPN): TBD
HEIGHT: 6'-0"
WEIGHT: 220 lbs
SPEED: 4.4 sec.
HOMETOWN: HS: Liberal, KS (???); JC: Butler CC, KS
STATS: (JC-So) Rush: 112, 1229 yds (11.0 ypc), 14 TD, Long: 96 yds [8 games]
STATS: (JC-Fr) Rush: 127, 895 yds (7.1 ypc), 13 TD
NOTES: Scheduled NU visit: 11/11/04 (KSU). Amazing strength-speed ratio. NU coaches have established a great connection to Butler CC, and Kenny is the next in what looks to be a pipeline. NU recruited Kenny out of high school, but he was unlikely to qualify and backed off. A legitimate talent. Has three years to play two.

NAME: Menelik Holt

RATINGS (SCOUT.COM / INSIDERS): TBD
RATINGS (EMFINGER): TBD
RATINGS (LEMMING/ESPN): TBD
HEIGHT: 6'-3"
WEIGHT: 210 lbs
SPEED: 4.78e
HOMETOWN: San Diego (St. Augustine), SD
STATS: (Jr) Rec: 42 rec, 726 (17.3 ypc), 12 TD
NOTES: Scheduled NU visit: 9/2/05 (Maine). Big target. The speed won't blow you away, but our coaches offered very early and clearly saw something. The offers speak for themselves too.
OTHER OFFERS: Texas Tech, Wisconsin, Colorado, California, Boston College, Kansas St, Oregon
PICTURES: (from Rivals.com)
Updated: 12/04/05
NAME: Mike McNeill
CATEGORY: COMMITTED TO NEBRASKA (9/4/05).
RATINGS (RIVALS): #29 TE 3-stars
RATINGS (SCOUT.COM / INSIDERS): TBD
RATINGS (EMFINGER): TBD
RATINGS (LEMMING/ESPN): TBD
HEIGHT: 6'-4"
WEIGHT: 215 lbs
SPEED: 4.65
HOMETOWN: Kirkwood, MO
STATS: (Jr) Rec: 44, 806 yards, 6 TD
NOTES: Scheduled NU visit: 9/2/05 (Maine). Fills a definite need. With his lighter size, and impressive high school numbers, looks to be a pass-catching threat at TE, which will be greatly needed after Matt Herian leaves.
OTHER OFFERS: Colorado, Texas Tech, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas, Northwestern, Indiana
PICTURES: (from Rivals.com)
NAME: Mike Smith
CATEGORY: COMMITTED TO NEBRASKA (10/30/05).
RATINGS (RIVALS): #22 Weakside DE 3-stars

STATS: (Sr) Rec: 8, 102 yards, 1 TD; Def: 56 tackles, 5 sacks
STATS: (Jr) Rec: 7, 130 yards, 1 TD; Def: 71 tackles, 17 sacks (led state)
NOTES: Scheduled NU visit: 10/28/05 (OU). Not sure yet if he will play TE or DE. Put together pretty solidly. Appears to be more of a blocking TE prospect. A sack machine at DE.
OTHER OFFERS: Oregon, Oregon St, UNLV

Updated: 12/14/04
NAME: D.J. Jones
CATEGORY: COMMITTED TO NEBRASKA (4/22/05).

RATINGS (SCOUT.COM / INSIDERS): TBD
RATINGS (EMFINGER): TBD
RATINGS (LEMMING/ESPN): TBD
HEIGHT: 6'-6"
WEIGHT: 305 lbs
SPEED: 5.1
HOMETOWN: Omaha (Central), NE
STATS: NA
NOTES: Scheduled NU visit: 12/9/05. Early commit. Preseason top player in the state by most publications. A upper-tier in-state prospect at a need position.
OTHER OFFERS: Kansas, Houston, Iowa St
PICTURES: (from Rivals.com)
NAME: RIcky Henry
CATEGORY: COMMITTED TO NEBRASKA (4/6/05).
RATINGS (RIVALS): #7 C, 3-stars
RATINGS (SCOUT.COM / INSIDERS): TBD
RATINGS (EMFINGER): TBD
RATINGS (LEMMING/ESPN): TBD
HEIGHT: 6'-6"
WEIGHT: 295 lbs
SPEED: 5.2
HOMETOWN: Omaha (Burke), NE
STATS: NA
NOTES: Scheduled NU visit: none. Another early commit. While he isn't a bad prospect, his failures have been in the classroom his senior year. Its a shame that he can't focus more in that area, because we really need bodies at his position.
OTHER OFFERS: Kansas, Kansas St

NAME: Cruz Barrett
CATEGORY: COMMITTED TO NEBRASKA (12/2/05).
RATINGS (RIVALS): #39 OG, 3-stars

RATINGS (LEMMING/ESPN): TBD
HEIGHT: 6'-4"
WEIGHT: 314 lbs
SPEED: 5.41
HOMETOWN: Daytona Beach (Mainland), FL
STATS: NA
NOTES: Scheduled NU visit: 11/11/05 (KSU). Big-time pickup for this staff. Would almost certainly be a higher-rated prospect if he had a more secure academic status. We feel that he will qualify. Lets hope our coaches are right!

SPEED: 4.6
HOMETOWN: Denver (Thomas Jefferson), CO
STATS: (Jr) Rec: 44, 806 yards, 6 TD
NOTES: Scheduled NU visit: 11/11/05 (KSU). Looks the part as a speed rusher. Comes from the same school as Cory Ross, and was recruited to NU by Coach Gilmore, who was at CU in 2004. A very good basketball prospect as well, he was pitched the possibility of playing both sports in college.
OTHER OFFERS: Colorado, Colorado St, Washington, Wyoming, Syracuse, Michigan St

NAME: Rulon Davis
CATEGORY: COMMITTED TO NEBRASKA (10/11/05).

HEIGHT: 6'-6"
WEIGHT: 275 lbs
SPEED: 4.9
HOMETOWN: HS: unknown; JC: Mt. San Antonio C.C., Walnut, CA
STATS: unknown
NOTES: Scheduled NU visit: 10/7/05 (TTU). Very interesting story. Actually served in the U.S. Marines, and served in Iraq. Was called to duty after his freshman year at Mt. SAC. Graduated high school in 2001. Will have three years to play three. Is a huge kid, and is sure to be mentally tough. As if serving in Iraq doesn't make him tough enough, he actually was RUN OVER (legs) by a semi truck and survived. Amazingly didn't even suffer broken bones from it. A special type of person. Prior to the injury and stint in Iraq, he was recruited by most Pac-10 schools. Might also play DT.

Played as a true freshman at Kentucky, then transferred to junior college.
