I might disagree with that assessment a bit, considering the big names brought in (relatively speaking) along with the transfer portals coming in… I know the portal players don’t factor in to ranking. But this is a class that has a chance to be really good.
Fourth best class in the B1G
- Thread starter Pennsyhusker
- Start date
Must not be much going on with the home team if you created a new handle to try to get under the skin of husker fans. What a moron you are.
Four 4* just from a numbers standpoint is mediocre. Rhule’s had his success developing 3* talent in lesser conferences. What we have isn’t gonna dominate the Big 10 anytime soon.
We also keep firing coaches who are close to breaking through and are in the middle of a rebuild. I mean Head Coach Scott Frost gets fired and we immediately get blown out by Oklahoma, Illinois, Michigan...teams that Head Coach Scott Frost competed with, year in and year out.
Gotta build the foundation, and what we see in this class is gonna be some of those bricks I hope…
Eh… don’t wanna sound like a broken record, but I just don’t see us or anyone dominating the Big 10 with 3* talent. Frost wasn’t on the verge of anything but the same. Rhule feels about the same, so far.
I did renew my tickets, FWIW. Not throwing in the towel just yet
why don’t you go ahead and make us a list of all of these non-contributors, non two deep players. That way we can go back and see how brilliant of a recruiting anal you are in the future. Thanks
I think you are correct. However, things are also not as simple as this seems. For starters, nobody is under the delusion that Nebraska is going to be a "go-to" destination for most elite recruits, with or without NIL money. That was true even during the Osborne years until the 90's, when the demise of OU and the SWC opened up all kinds of recruiting options for us. We were then and remain now a school that must develop players and recruit to a system. And then pepper into that roster a few high end skill guys.
Therefore, we do not need to match OSU and Michigan dollar for dollar in order to field a team that can compete at a high level. We just need enough NIL money and solid high school recruiting to put together a solid roster. And keep in mind that the highest elite-end recruits are going to be scattered all over the landscape because all of the big market schools will have deep donor pockets and the bidding wars are going to really get insane in the years ahead. In fact, I think you are going to end up with teams like Alabama and Ohio State and USC that will be spending millions and millions on elite players many of whom will end up being busts and/or head cases. It remains to be seen that a roster filled with rich divas and bling kings can produce champions. Look at Texas and Miami for evidence that a roster filled with high end athletes does not always translate into championships.
In some ways I think it is good that Nebraska will not even try to enter into that level of pecuniary insanity. But we will have enough money on hand from donors to target really, really good players in positions of need and at positions like QB and defensive tackle.
AAANNNNDDDD, another one just added to dumb fvck troll hopper. Has an I_wa taint to it.
So did you throw in the towel under Frost and not renew your tickets? I find it extremely odd that you make that comment with Rhule being here for 4 weeks.Eh… don’t wanna sound like a broken record, but I just don’t see us or anyone dominating the Big 10 with 3* talent. Frost wasn’t on the verge of anything but the same. Rhule feels about the same, so far.

Its a sickness. We all have it. Every year, thinking that we’re magically gonna be good again.
It’s just been a REALLY bad investment just from a money standpoint, going to the games. Basically paying good money to wind up depressed and hungover…
We don’t have to dominate the whole big 10 but we have to develop well enough to dominate the Iowas of the world and compete with OSU and Michigan.Eh… don’t wanna sound like a broken record, but I just don’t see us or anyone dominating the Big 10 with 3* talent.

If we start piling up winning seasons, the sky will be the limit as far as recruiting goes.
And with the speed this coaching staff likes, it gives us a chance against OSU and Michigan from time to time. Assuming the speed is developed into sound football players as well.
Nebraska should expect to beat Michigan the majority of the time. Nebraska is historically a better football program. OSU needs to become our Oklahoma.
Not sure how you can say this at this point… maybe we get there under this staff but under Harbaugh, Michigan has hovered around 10 the last several years in recruiting and has beaten OSU the last 2 years…
Maybe this quote from Rhule will prove to be true…
"With a fan base like this, guys are going to have lots of opportunities to represent different products or different companies. Whatever their name, image, likeness can help them do. I believe when done right NIL is a good thing. It has to be done right. What we don't want too do is have a locker room that is divided. ... And there's a lot of different schools where how they play effects how much money they make. And when you're 18, 19, 20, 21, there's enough pressure playing college football already. To have that burden, that stress, that anxiety if I don't play well what happens, I don't want that for these guys."

More good stuff here. Maybe he’s a snake oil salesman, but if he is, I haven’t seen much better than him.
Scott Frost tried backing out of the Oklahoma game and replacing them with Old Dominion. Did you forget about that?
Facecard/fivewords or whatever username you come up with, nobody GAF about UNO wrestling or football. You've been proven wrong so many times now that you should be embarrassed by your dumb assery.

From 1973 through 1992 Nebraska was 17-33 against top 10 opponents and even worse against top 5 opponents. Michigan is a top 10 team year in and year out as is OSU. Even if we have a legendary coach, a unique system that is hard to prepare for, amazing facilities, fan support, and a system of broadcasts that prioritizes our program above others...we still won't beat top 10 teams but 1 out of 3 times. The 1993-1997 huskers are not the comparison point...but instead the 20 years prior should be the expectation and hope. You can't hope to get the talent and leadership we had on that 97 team ever again.
Rhule inherited fighters and kids willing to work, instilled in them by the prior staff.
Scott thought the schedule was already daunting enough and was planning on beginning the transition to power I/option football. He remembered that 9/11 starters on the MNC 1997 Nebraska Cornhuskers were Nebraska boys who were tough as nails. Pre-requisites for Head Coach Scott Frost recruit...tough...Nebraska boy...mullet..tough...full implementation of roster overhaul was to begin 2022-2029.
the staff has done a remarkable job of salvaging this class
4th is about where we have traditionally been in the conf rankings
the depressing thing, however, is if you look back at the ranking points, the 4th place big ten team is usually closer in points to the 10-12th ranked teams than they are the 1st place team - some years the 4th place team is closer to the last place team than they are the 1st
regardless - like what this staff is doing and what they can do with a full year and some wins under their belt

History....Nebraska has been a better program historically. When Nebraska gets back to being Nebraska we should expect to beat Michigan. Ohio St is the one program that is historically an equal to Nebraska.
