HEY!!!!! We have ZERO commits for 2024....

Hey , coaches are working on it. Not looking to fill the class with 2-3 star players this go around .

Besides they have only had a few months to get things together and most of the ti e was used to fill out last 2 recruiting cycles (Dec& Feb) .

Yikes. Most would say the opposite of what I’m gonna say, but I don’t care about stars this go around either. If Rhule loads up on 4 star kids this spring and June, that’s fine. But please no more 4 stars from the clearance isle who commit in December. That WR quitter list is full of those types.

True enough, but we’d rather lose quitters from a more talented haul of recruits, and ‘stars’ are (one of the) best ways to put talent into metrics, no? We have a TALENT problem, first and foremost. We’re gonna need for our recruit classes to resemble better teams, at some point.

Take the stars. Gonna have to pay for ‘em…

....what gives????? We on vacation????

I kid, I kid.....kinda....
Is it statistically smart to load up with 25 high school scholarship players...they get the one free transfer and are basically a liability considering most won't be ready to play but most think they are...you put hours of development into them and then they up and go home or chase NIL. Probably smarter to be selective with guys whom you can develop and who will be loyal or go for a home run and a guy who will play right away. The most ignorant thing I heard from Rhule's press conferences is that we are a development program blah blah...Georgia wasn't playing true freshman everywhere...they had guys they developed, most of them in fact. They just had better players whom they developed. It shouldn't take 3 years to get a guy ready to play.
 
I'm not sure I could play for that ASU coach because every time I looked at him I would probably start laughing thinking about that press conference.

We do have a talent problem. The talent we've brought in have all sorts of problems.

This exists everywhere. Or do you think we’re having to resign to recruiting ‘broken talent’ because it’s Nebraska? Like the mentally stable Talent opted for sunnier climes with hotter chicks? Should we Avoid elite athletes for some reason?

Sarcasm aside… seriously do we have a huge problem w/ retention compared to other schools?

Rhule is not Frost, he wants healthy quality players that also fit a personality and profile .

The closest he will come to clearance isle players was the last recruiting class . The coaches had very little time to put that one together , this year , 2023’s class will be better , 2024 should be his best .

We know Frost and staff put in less time and effort than previous staffs recruiting in-state. And given what we know about Frost, it's logical that he also put in below minimal effort in all other aspects of recruiting. Frost did rely on bringing in broken talent from Day one and it never really stopped. Rhule should fix this issue since he works a lot harder and he has something Frost didn't have- contacts and relationships.

I don't think Nebraska should avoid elite athletes. We should go hard after anyone we have a realistic shot at getting. We don't want to pull a "Coach Cav" and go all in on a Foster Sarell in an all out battle for 2nd or 3rd.

I haven't researched it, but Nebraska's got to be one of the worst with retention. If we're serious about being a developmental program, we've got to bring in better kids, who are better athletes and keep them around longer.
