Yes, they should be freaking out as a matter of fact.Why would there need to be an excuse? It’s July 1and it doesn’t matter until signing day. I feel like we have done this hand wringing the last several years around this time and then when the dust settles, we have a solid class. There are teams behind us like Miami, Ole Miss, Auburn, Stanford and Arizona State, that always recruit well, should they be freaking out?
1. coaching staff sees the writing on the wall
2. after gambling on injury-prone 4*s just to be able to point to the "recruiting rankings," the staff has finally figured out that you need actual football players and not athletes with stars next to their names to win games
No one is freaking out except you.Yes, they should be freaking out as a matter of fact.
I expect a smaller class but what is more important to me is average player ranking comparative to others. What really separates Bama, Ohio State, Clemson, OU from say Wisconsin is all the skill position players (WRs, DBs, RBs) and a couple elite pass rushers. I would much rather have my blue chips coming from skill positions and edge rushers.Why would there need to be an excuse? It’s July 1and it doesn’t matter until signing day.

Does it really matter at this point? Frost will be able to survive a subpar recruiting cycle only if he wins this season and there is improvement. And if there is improvement the recruiting should follow.Our 2022 recruiting class is dead last entering the dead period in the Big 10 and #53 in the country.
4 more years!1. coaching staff sees the writing on the wall

Hoping it's 2...
I hope every remaining spot goes to a blue chip. But at present, that isn't the main problem. The players that control Frost's fate as NU HC are already on the roster. On paper, both Riley and Frost outcompeted Pelini, but Pelini won 9-10 games/year.Might as well try something different Being top in the West at this point hasn't worked out

Yeah, they have the same problem in Columbus, South Bend, State College, etc. Kids just don't want to play where it snows. 😙I'm disappointed that "warm weather talent will never sign where winter exists" wasn't an option. That's my favorite subset of "you can't get elite kids to go to school in Lincoln."
I don’t give a crap what kind of class they bring in, I just want to see these athletes actually developed and improved while hanging out in Lincoln.Our 2022 recruiting class is dead last entering the dead period in the Big 10 and #53 in the country.
I think there is some truth to this as well. In fact a lot of guys here blamed the initial start by Frost on Riley's recruiting (even though the same guys thought Riley was killing it at the time) but there was a philosophy change I guess?I know it doesn’t mean much of anything til signing day, but still, dead last??? The thing that worries me the most is that if Frost isn’t the guy, and it takes so long for the AD to figure it out that poor recruiting hurts the next coaches chances as well.
Here's another downer: there is only one top 300 prospect with Nebraska on their top list (Markeith Williams). Other top prospects are iffy. James Monds Jr is 50/50 with Indiana (although the 3 most recent are for IU), and Tyler Martin has nine Crystal Balls for Arizona with none for Nebraska. We are not in Jaden Mangham's top 5 any more.
Was thinking the same thing. Bitch and moan now while it’s fashionable, then nowhere to be seen when the rankings actually matter.Pretty sure you did all this doom and gloom bullshit last year and we ended up with a Top 20 class, maybe we should revisit this after signing day. Maybe you will get luck and we will actually have a bad class, for once. But I seriously doubt it.
This year is a bit different though. The 2022 class has about 9 spots left available. Of the kids that have been on campus to visit, only a few remain uncommitted and they appear to be headed elsewhere. There is not a current 4 star on the list and by the looks of things, Nebraska is moving on to plans B and C. I am assuming these players aren’t going to have many highly ranked kids among them.Pretty sure you did all this doom and gloom bullshit last year and we ended up with a Top 20 class, maybe we should revisit this after signing day.

By this standard, all arguments are meaningless. No reason for this board.Both sides of this argument are meaningless at this point.
- One side says our recruiting sucks. Not surprising because so far Scott Frost has sucked.
- Other side says look at all our top 20 recruiting classes Frost has produced. What do top 20 classes mean under Frost when the product he puts on the field still sucks?
2021 is a huge year for Scott Frost. No more excuses. We will find out how Frost can compete when he has the opportunity to recruit and assemble his own team and system.
