If Nebraska wants to compete with the big boys they will need a top flight coach and recruit, recruit, recruit.

There are 5 to 10 schools that are kicking everyone's *** in recruiting.

Watch, tomorrow Saban will win after telling his OC to gtfo a week ago.

How does this make sense?

Look at his talent level.

Bama now is getting dual threat QB's. Lookout, they are going be tough to beat.

Nebraska recruiting is like a AAA hitter going up against Chapman. A lot of whiffs.

I looked at a few Najee Harris videos and wasn't impressed with him. He's not very fast, doesn't have very good vision, and was easily brought down by guys who looked half his size.

Yes, Bama is at the top of the heap right now. But sports goes in cycles. Someday Saban will move on or Bama will get probation or both and the whole thing goes in the *******. I remember thinking when Pete C. was at USC "man who is ever going to bring these guys down?"
Patience. I think Riley can turn us around. Steady as she goes...

If you think Bama is getting those kids and then are able to keep all those egos on campus without "extra benefit$", you are very naive. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, at this time, our administration will not allow that to happen. Personally I would rather run a clean program and be able to look myself in the mirror in the morning. The SEC and just the south in general has never had a conscience about that much like the old SWC.

Ummmmm okay. Wait until he runs behinds Bama's line in 2 years. Let me know your thoughts then. See Bo Scarborough this year. They're a machine. Or you can have a 190 lb back. Which they'll have that's all world too. It's unreal.

They lower 4 stars transfer or don't see the field at Bama. Or it's very rare. We all know a blood line or last name moved the needle with recruiting to 5.8 4 star vs a legit 3 star.

I don't think we're winning a title with those recruits. Just like Georgia, Texas, USC, Florida, etc. weren't winning a title with similar classes.

Get a top 5 or 10 DC here with those recruits and then we're certainly in the conversation. People seem to forget, defense wins championships. We will not have that potential under Banker.

Nobody is recruiting like that. They've had the top ranked class like 7 seasons in a row. The only team close is Ohio state which is the only team to beat them in the playoff. If we had classes like that 7 years in a row, we would win championships.

Apparently Clemson is too....:) Actually Nebraska has at least one Bama recruit. Gebbia had a Bama offer too. So I guess we beat Bama this year too...Actually I guess we have 3 commits that had Bama offers.
