Dose of reality - what is one recruit that was downgraded after committing to us that they were wrong about? Raridon was the one we were all upset about...and the recruiting services were right.

Facing $147M deficit, ISU Athletics halts Hilton Coliseum renovation, upping ticket prices
Cockeye State University Athletics ā facing a $147 million budget deficit through 2031, or just under $25 million annually over the next six years ā is rolling out painful concessions, including indefinitely postponing construction of a new wrestling practice facility and $25 million renovation of...

The stadium renovation for Hilton Coliseum they are postponing indefinetly was only $25 million. For perspective, Hilton was built five years before the Devaney Center. They are also scrapping plans for a wrestling practice facility.
Up until now, ISU athletics were self-supporting, but now they are facing an $24.5 million deficity annually with rev-share and other costs from the House Settlement. And this is a Power 4 school.
I have to imagine that schools outside the Power 2, and perhaps some within, will be cutting non-revenue sports pretty soon as they try to balance their checkbooks for the coming years.

I think Wandale Robinson was downgraded and I also think Cam Jurgens was as well. But your assertion is still 100% accurate IMO. The reality is that Mike Riley and Scrote didnāt recruit many (or any) legit NFL caliber players. I do believe, and someone correct me if Iām wrong, there was an article about a yearish ago that calculated we have the worst āhit rate percentageā on 4* recruits among all P4 schools.
Our recruiting has been a dumpster fire fraud for about 15 years. Pelini did little to nothing once Callahanās recruits dried up. Mike Riley would make the top 3 of like 20% of the top 250 recruits, and land maybe one of them. Scroteā¦ was a lazy piece of dog shit that had every advantage going for him, (especially the 1st couple years) and still couldnāt put in at least the minimum effort to capitalize on his momentum (coming from UCF) and utilize the almost unlimited resources NU provided.
10+ years of shitty coaches = 10+ years of shitty recruiting.
Do all these 4 stars suddenly suck when they get here even though they were also recruited by all the top teams? Or do we fail to develop them so they never amount to anything?

I think weāve been terrible at development until recently, but we also got a lot of four stars who were very lightly recruited. Thatās why our lazy staffs were able to land them.

I think itās 2 fold IMO, and this is just from my 10,000 ft observations over the last 40 years.
1. We are getting bottom tier 4* players and/or talented (4*) players that other teams are passing on for multiple different reasons. Weāre not getting the players that are a combination of talented and smart/mature. Weāve been getting smart or mature players that arenāt talented enough to win with, and talented players that arenāt smart or mature enough to win with.
2. We havenāt found a coach/coaching staff that can develop these players. A lot of schools are forced to take or settle on more āriskyā 4* recruits, talented players with some questions. But none of those schools are dead last in production from 4* recruits. And none of them have such an abysmal NFL draft record over the last 15 years. We canāt develop players.
Summary: Many/most of our 4* recruits have some red flags and/or questions that we tend to ignore or downplay cause we desperately want them to be legit. And our coaches suck diseased donkey balls when it comes to developing talent and leading young men.
