Tuesctay, February 8, 1933 11 Daily Nebrasksn MDedl players make H3S3 baimo neir D'eOTDfiDimg yeair Wednesday. Feb. 9 will be one of the most important days of 1983 for college football coaches across America. No panics will be played that day, no practices will be held either. On that day, thousands of hikh school football players will put their John Hancocks on a piece of paper known as a national letter of intent. The letter of intent binds the high school player to accept an athletic scholarship from the college with which he signs. Schools can offer up to 30 scholarships per year to high school and junior college football players. One of the fun tilings about the letter-of-intent day is all the speculation that leads up to it. For the past couple Bob Asmussen of weeks you may have noticed that area newspapers braska's list. Another exciting part of the college football recruit ing season is a term that was created in recent years, the verbal commitment. A verbal commitment is exactly what it sounds like. The player will tell the coach of his choice (and usually the media as well) that he is set on going to that parti cular school. The verbal commitment is about as binding as a Tijuana divorce. More than one high school player has made verbal commitments to several schools. The end result is usually one very happy coach and several coaches who feel they've been robbed. Verbal commitments have been pouring into Nebras ka this year. There's something about a No. 3 ranking that appeals to a high school player. Nebraska has re ceived commitments from all nine in-state players that if offered scholarships to. Several other out-of-state play ers have commited to Nebraska as well. One of the big names Nebraska is recruiting is 311 Orlando, Fla. quarterback McCa thorn Clayton. Clayton might very well be the answer to the question, "Who's going to replace Turner when he graduates?" Another player that Nebraska coaches covet is Novell Jackson of Havre de Grace, Md. Jackson is under pres sure by people in his home st3te to become a Terrapin but he reconfirmed his commitment to Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne at his home, Sunday. If Nebraska is able to sign the players that have com mited us, it could be a banner year for Nebraska recruit- , r n 00 n in ' L ing. Last year's class was considered to be a good one but Nebraska didn't sign many receivers or running backs. This seasons emphasis seems to be more on the "skilled position" players whereas last year Nebraska tried to strengthen itself most in the line positions. How good will the players Nebraska signs Wednes day be? Only time will tell. Only time will tell if Jack son is another Mike Roier. Only time will tell if Clay ton is the second coming of Turner Gill. The player Nebraska wanted more than any other player last year was a running back from Texas named Anthony Byerly. Uyerly committed to Nebraska but changed his mind when Nebraska Assistant Coach Jerry Pettibone joined the million-dollar coaching staff at Texas A&M. Byerly spent his freshman year as a red- shirt on a Texas team that lost to North Carolina in the Sun Bowl. While Byerly may not have played in his freshman year at Nebraska he still would have been able to enjoy some seafood in Miami. Instead it was tacos in Fl Paso. (Is Byerly related to Barry Switz?) Another player that Nebraska wanted badly was Tul sa's Spencer Tillman. Tillman went instead to Oklahoma where he also redshirted. Tillman may be destined to spend three years as a reserve to another freshman every one might remember, Marcus Dupree. 472-1761 472-2588 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING CALL 472-1761 $2.50 minimum charge per day on commercial ads.
