If the RB is supposed to be so loaded, why did MJ visit during the bye week and get him to switch from Tulane? There must be a lot of Janes in the locker room.

From Rivals...Mickey: “We ain’t chasing Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. We are chasing Ohio State.”
Mickey the next day: Signs a recruit whose only other Power 5 offer is from Iowa.
I’m not going to bitch to much about this commit just because the circumstances are poor for MJ to do any meaningful recruiting in, but he literally said yesterday we need better recruiting, then gets a commit from 5.5 3 Star with a list of offers that has includes no schools of substance.
There may not have been many 4* running back left to choose from.
Pelini was also able to land players who were difference makers on defense.One thing Bo always talked about was the kid needed to LOVE the game. Rankings can’t measure that. And most of you know I wasn’t a Boliever but I think he had that right. Most of us who played the game but weren’t talented enough to garner a D1 scholarship loved the game. Clearly Betts didn’t love the game. We’ve had some other highly ranked guys who clearly looked like they were just going through the motions.
No doubt, Mickey can recruit a little.for those that don’t believe MJ will be here in some sort of fashion next year. Read
"Mickey knows what it takes to make it to the next level, he is a Nebraska legend and he is from The Boot so I believe we could get along well and make things pop,” Barnes told 247Sports...I just feel Mickey Joseph has got some things cooking up in Nebraska.”
everything he talked about was MJ. Kids like him aren’t coming to NU w/out MJ. And MJ wouldn’t BS these kids
I agree that MJ will be here next year with a nice boost in salary. How big a boost is yet to be seen.for those that don’t believe MJ will be here in some sort of fashion next year. Read

a few. Not nearly enough.Pelini was also able to land players who were difference makers on defense.
MJ is the next HC. I'm calling it now.
I think so... I think we aren't going to get our wishlist at this point.Even if he goes 2-7?
Interesting.
The media all talking about zero leaks, the quietest search ever, hints at MJ being given his opportunity.MJ is the next HC. I'm calling it now.
I am 100% behind this. Unless we get Urban, NO coach coming in is surefire.Even if we don't win another game this season, I think he's the right guy. He's going to need his own staff and players. I have no problem giving him 4 years.
Great kid but he is not a BIG 1st team NT.......MJ does that then he is cooking.for those that don’t believe MJ will be here in some sort of fashion next year. Read

Not too far fetched, considering Ed O probably banged half of the state.Mickey is more popular in Louisiana than Ed O
How people can dismiss this fact out of hand is idiocracy beyond my comprehension
That's where I sit as well. Or if it's not HCMJ, the new guy can retain those 2IMO if there is tension with anyone it should be Raiola and Duval. Our OL can’t even stand up straight. If MJ gets it I hope he flips the entire staff except for Bush.
kid is basically a short but thick bowling ballWatched his film. He has very good balance, vision and elusiveness. Absolutely trucked a guy on a TD run.
Top end speed was the only thing that might be questionable but he has plenty of long TD runs.
Looked at his stats on Hudl. A lot 200 yard, 150 yard games.
Remember Ozigbo didn't have great offers coming out of high school either. I think he was committed to iowa state?
This guy visited and had an offer from Iowa who is usually pretty decent at spotting workhorse backs. Also Louisiana=good.
So you’re using one example in the past 10 years. Now so the whole thesis 🤪. Let me know how that works out. 20 plus years on no conf titles is a good data point.True I will say though that RB is a hard position for recruiting services to figure out sometimes. Ameer was a 3 star who came in and beat out 2 4star running backs that were ahead of him.
Hated trying to tackle those guyskid is basically a short but thick bowling ball

You’re a fan who actually Get‘s it. 15 years of futility doesn’t just change overnight.It's time to get a staff that can properly develop players.
If we go by recruiting rankings the last 5 years, ranked or "raw" talent isn't the issue. Sure, there are probably some semantics regarding how talent can be defined.
Why has much of the "talent" failed here?
It's mostly player development (Coaching, S&C and vetting of character)
The W-L column and recent NFL drafts don't lie.
