Gopherhole: Is Wes Shepard still coaching basketball at Lincoln Christian? He was super senior, when I lived down their and watched in the State Tournament. One of the few coaches who yanked kids for committing turnovers. I think Lincoln Christian is a great school, and hopefully Jared accepts his offer to SDSU. What bothers me is the walk on program at UNL, no doubt Jared will get an offer to walk on and that could be tempting.

Monte Jones is the head basketball coach now. I'm guessing that Wes retired. He was inducted into the Nebraska HS Sports Hall of Fame in 2002 after a 48 year career and over 500 wins. He was also inducted into the National HS Hall of Fame in 2005. Great family tree of basketball players. His grandaughter Jess, committed to the Huskers during her freshman year at Lincoln SE - she will be a senior in HS next year.

As far as the walk-on program for the Huskers, Pelini has revived that program and it is a real threat. It could become more of an issue depending on the success of QB Ryker Fyfe. It appears that Ryker has taken the backup QB slot as a walk-on this spring. That is over heralded Johnny Stanton, a Californian who won a regional ESPN QB challenge as a senior. If memory serves me right, both Fyfe and his high school team mate, Sam Foltz both had offers for the Jacks, but spurned those offers for the Huskers. Foltz is the starting punter, and Fyfe has potential to be taking meaningful snaps behind center. While I still where my blue when I go to Husker games, people in Nebraksa are fanatical about their Huskers! It is common to see 80 year old widows wearing Husker sweaters at our church on Saturday nights.

I expect that Jared could be getting numerous D1 offers. Hope Jay still has some influence with his nephew!

Wes was quite a guy and looked to be in his late 70's when I was watching the state tournaments. Seems like he had coached in Illinois, and came out of retirement to take the job at Lincoln Christian.

I guess we can't read too much into Jared's comments about the offer from SDSU. Definitely has a football body and two more years to go in HS.

You don't have to remind me of the Husker mania, although I do see more older people in Brookings sporting SDSU garb than maybe 10 or 15 years ago. It might have something to do with the two trips to Lincoln. Who knows. Today I don't have an SDSU sweatshirt on, but I usually do.

Re: 2016 Recruiting List

Thanks to UWMandSDSU for catching 3 recruits that I had on the wrong recruiting year thread. I've updated the list.

The quality of these recruits is outstanding! It will be difficult to land a number of them as they will get the big time conference looks. For example, Jared Bubak has received a Husker offer and Sam Schlueter has a Gopher offer.

Hitting the 2016 recruiting trail early? I'm a fan.

I like it too. Couple of these dudes already have high major offers, but say something happens, such as an injury, and the big schools back off, we are there from the beginning. I am thinking of the safety we signed this year Romanesko. He was primed for a huge year as a senior, but then had his injury and people backed off. Glad we stuck it out because he'll be a stud for us.
