The Nebraska football team has already had a great recruiting weekend with two commitments and a surprise visit from Ahmad Hudson that could give the Huskers new life in that fight. While all that is good news, what’s even better is that no one really expects Matt Rhule and Co. to be done reeling in pledges. In fact, as of Saturday night, it looks like NU coaches managed to pull off a big commitment flip that has the added bonus of hurting their Big Ten rival, the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
According to On3’s Tim Verghese, the Husker coaches rolled out the red carpet in a big way for the 15 official visitors on Saturday. The festivities included taking everyone to the State Capitol Building for a fancy dinner. After that trip to see one of the most impressive sights in the city of Lincoln, it appears that the dinner was the final step in flipping 3-star EDGE Ma’atoe Moe.
Late on Saturday night, Verghese and fellow Rivals analyst Greg Biggins both put in new predictions for Moe to flip to Nebraska. The predictions came within a few hours of each other, and, perhaps more importantly, both received 65% certainty ratings. As a general rule, when an analyst logs a prediction, it comes in at 60%. Anything more than that usually means they’re actually very, very close to 100% but don’t want to go there just yet…
