How in the world are we tenth in the Big 10 in recruiting so far this year?

It seems like our class is far better than Maryland, Rutgers and stinking Iowa. Why are there even team rankings at this point?

I don't even look at the total number of commits. We're the #5 recruiting class in the B1G based on star averages.

If we were to land just one 5.7 - 3* or higher ranked recruit we would move into 5th place (all other things being unchanged). Unfortunately, it's a big climb to get higher than 5th.

recruiting is a year round deal and generates a ton of interest so someone is going to rank the teams. kind of hard to say if the Nebraska results are good or bad at this point.

Right now it is just one of those things where as NU fans we think our class is better. Once this plays out I think NU will fall in that 4th/5th place in the Big Ten rankings. I think a good goal for NU will be right around 3rd in the Big Ten Rankings each year, maybe second.

Exactly. Just look at number of recruits. Iowa has 22(ish?) and Nebraska has 15(ish? - I'm on my phone and lazy). If you take Iowas top 15 and put them against our 15, it's not even close.

Once the class fills up you will see a ratings bump.

Patience young grasshopper. We'll probably finish around 5 in the B1G and 25 nationally.

I hope we do better than that. We need to routinely be Top 15 to get to were NU ultimately wants to be.

Agreed, but I just don't see MR and Co. getting us into the Top 15 recruiting by the 2016 class.

You are saying it;HCMR has said it multiple times and his and the AD's staff are " pedaling ", furiously. With actual results. We are apparently the best in the West; the 4 ahead of us in the East are currently all in the national top ten. IMO some of ours are underrated; not too mention the development of the raw athletics that goes on here. Imo, Bo heard it from the AD, couldn't agree with something; and now he has created the opportunity to do it in Ohio. I think the department and coaches are amazing and if there are enough early W's; and guys continue with the NFL success; things will jump quickly.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

I think we all know why. I'm hopeful in a year or two it will be fixed.

 

[ReuniteGondwanaland]

At 247sports we're 5th in the Big Ten---WAY behind the top 4 but a fairly decent amount ahead of #5.

At scout we're 5th, barely.

How are we 10th at Rivals? Partially we have a smallish class so far, partially it's very close between 5th and 11th. Partially it's just Rivals.

Many many of the commits should be rated higher and there are a couple that are questionable....just like every yr

 

[jlb321]

yes, but you have to remember that there are 14 teams in the Big Ten so being 10th in the Big Ten isn't as bad as it sounds

OK but what if Jordan Stevenson were included?
