That isn't happening either, our upper classman, make up the diamond in the rough mold. I not saying we are USC, Ohio State or Alabama for that matter, but to compete with teams like them we need to recruit better players and if you guys keep saying poor coaching then we need better jimmies and joes.
whatever, I guess this board doesn't allow to people to express their opinions, good to know comrade
That attitude of "We can't ever be (insert school here) needs to go and die somewhere. There's a new list every 5 years of mediocre programs suddenly making hay in recruiting while we mope around here acting like Nebraska has nothing to offer a college athlete.
What? There are no athletic scholarships at Ivy League schools. There are athletic preference lists. Let's just say the average SAT of the football team is quite a bit lower than that of the rest of the school. Don't ask me how I know...cough, cough...Tom...cough.
Yeah...the last top player we pulled out ot MN has been....really freaking good.
Yep dont count his offers from Wisconsin and Utah...oh, and the kid is VERY smart, could have gone almost anywhere in the Ivy League including Harvard and Yale
Nice get and Bray/Diaco still working Parsons,Redmond, Calvert in addition for CAT along with Alston
I still can't get over that FRANK didn't get Ken Spaeth's kid Matt out of MInnesota. Legacy tight end who has played a loooong time now for the Steelers. Don't know if we even offered him. I had classes with his dad at NU. Great guy.
I didn't say we couldn't get to that level once again, but we need a huge influx of top flight talent. Maybe its the current coaching staff or location, but seems Ped St got it turn around pretty darn quick along with Michigan
Funny how that works, isn't it? Lots of other schools seem to be able to launch into the top 15 in a year or two, but NU fans keep saying the only way is to make classes that are 80% diamonds in the rough.
Come on, man, really? 80%? Seriously, you made your point before, which I was fine with, but this kind of hyperbole is silly.
After all the "we need to be like Wisconsin" posts, you'd think we'd be happier about getting a kid they wanted.
We need to recruit better than Wisconsin. By a lot. I haven't seen anything to suggest that if we recruit just like them we're gonna out coach or out execute them.
Fun fact, I saw a breakdown that actually for the starting 22, NUs talent ranking is higher than UW heading into Saturday.
You literally said: "Every recruit cannot be a project. We need recruits to come in and make an instant impact."
A kid like this is a welcome addition guys, he's athletic, he's local, he has good upside. I think Riley is a pretty good talent evaluator and recruiter. It might be his strongest quality and save his freakin job.
Welcome aboard! GBR
Welcome aboard! GBR
Penn State, like tOSU, will ALWAYS benefit from recruiting dominance in a region (the NE).
Nebraska will always have to rely on projects that, if developed properly, blossom into great players. The key is spotting the right guys, and giving them proper time to get there. GBR
He doesn't fit Minnesota's scheme. That good enough for ya finatic with an I?? Lol
Just sharing what I heard locally on the radio here in Minneapolis.
But you’re right, I’m wrong. Sorry to try and post something that I actually heard on the radio as opposed to speculation.
Wisconsin and Utah are not big time schools. We recruit better than both on the norm. Overlook it all you. Then you will be pissed when a kid can't tackle or can't rush the passer against quality schools.
We need better recruits with a class this small. No. I don't trust anyone to be developed at this point.

You don't? This kid is projected to be a 3-4 LB that can put is hand in the ground and rush off the egde.
Bray/JP. Yes. I trust he can be developed well by those two coaches.
Wisconsin throws out offers like candy in case they decide they want you. If they don't want you, they say, 'We're not ready to accept your commitment right now." Started under Beilima and they've been doing it for years.
I'm in wait and see mode. We have 4 star players that look like they should be in D2 right now.
Welcome young man!
I also think he's developmental, as in breaking open this weekends recruiting dam!

I've never seen so much backlash on a commit. Sad.
What about OL and DL or pass rushers who need to gain 20-30lbs in order to be effective at the next level? Can they be projects? Or do we just pull recruits out of a genie lamp or pour some magical potion on them to make them what they can become? Christ
It's terrible and full bore garbage. This kid has potential. He's smart. I would assume he's an upstanding young man and deserves our respect. GBR
Who is saying that? We are excited for a kid that a possible 'diamond in the rough' when (not including kickers) half of our class is 4* or above. And 80% of our class is a 5.7 or above. It seems like you have your averages flipped.
