Another recruiting hurdle

Since 1996 every team that has won an undisputed national title except for Oklahoma in 2000 has had at least two top ten national recruiting classes in the four years before a title.

So in order to get into the CFB Playoff, you have to meet the blue chip ratio. In order to win the CFB Playoff, you have to have at least two top ten national recruiting classes in the four years prior.

When Frost was hired I was hoping that by this time Frost would have at least 30+ blue chip athletes on the roster. We would have a couple 9+ win seasons behind us and we would be recruiting top 15 ranked classes. I was also hoping that we would have some kind of marketing strategy that combined Husker tradition with Oregon "cool", and combined with our aggressive, fun, high-scoring offense and a big new athletic complex we would be back in the spotlight and on the verge of returning to our former glory. Obviously that hasn't worked out. By the start of the 2021 season we will have around 22 4* on the roster. Maybe a few more if we add a couple good transfers or JUCOs.

I guess what I am saying is that we aren't going to win a national title for a long time and that makes me a sad panda.

Im guessing this is pretty accurate, especially with the spread offense era. Now say frost decides to go back to a power based offense I can see us maybe sneaking in with out top 10 classes, also the transfer portal can provide a player that can take a team from good to great.

I would also like to add I think this flashy spread offense that Frost runs will get him fired eventually. I still think a ground based run attack with deep threats is the way to go. Think Wisconsin with a mobile qb.

I think that over time a team could get into the CFB playoff by consistently recruiting Top 20 classes and using the transfer portal to fill holes. That's something Nebraska should have been doing all of these years. But we have had too much coaching staff turnover, strength staff turnover. No consistently in our schemes and S&C. And now we have a mediocre coaching staff.

In order to win a national championship you have to recruit really good players.

Also breaking, Nebraska has a ways to go.
