The article also mentions 2021 recruit Gabe Ervin, an RB committed to the huskers. All of that bodes well for the huskers.Good to hear that Malik has a good friend (Farmer) already on the team. That will help in the transition from Georgia to Nebraska. Good to get another CB on board.
Let's keep those Buford, Georgia kids coming in! This class is really stacking up to be a good group with high upside.
Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about this. We're landing plenty of talent that is in that mid-to-high 3 star range, with only a couple of stand-out 4 stars so far. I'm thinking, ok, that sounds like we'd maybe be under-powered against Ohio State, but I think that that might not be the point.
When I was at TD, I worked with a lot of stat guys who loved Nebraska football. I remember one guy who loved to crunch data on games and teams basically telling me "You're never going to beat Ohio State at recruiting. They sit on the most fertile 500-mile radius in the country, and they have boat-loads of trophies. What you want to do is recruit more specialized players for the system you want to run, because it's only through playing to your "system" advantages that you're ever going to beat a team like that."
I'm sincerely hoping that is what these coaches are doing. It looks that way, but you know, one always wonders.

You think nebraska is a placeholder for this kid? I guess I disagree, considering his best friend is already a husker and another teammate is committed to Nebraska.Kind of surprised many out of state kids would commit this early given what’s going on in the world, but I realize they may feel pressured to at least establish a “placeholder” commitment lest they miss out on their best offers.
I kinda like This approach I hope. I mean 4 star kids and Nebraska has been a struggle. Ur right we are not going to out recruit Ohio st. Gotta recruit on par to better than division and recruit to scheme. My first hope is to win the division. Can’t do anything bigger than that until u can do that. 2 years in frost is 4-8 vs those teams.Yeah, I've been thinking a lot about this.

Yeah. Totally true. And I like what was said about the "Wisconsin Model." Which, in reality, is our old Nebraska model. Basically, unless you are a freakishly good kicker, you are not really on the field until you are at least a 3rd year Sophomore or Junior.
Some kids are too good to sit as freshman. You sit pretty much every lineman and linebacker, but skilled position guys often arrive on campus looking the part (ahem, Marvin Scott). It's a case by case decision. The key is for most of them is to understand the process they'll need to go through to add the size and physicality to play. They do well in 7 on 7 and other camps and think they're ready for prime time. Nope! Whole different animal.
