Whoever the next HC is needs to stop worrying about other teams and focus on getting the right type of players for Nebraska instead of just the getting in the most talented kids even if they likely will not fit in with Nebraska.
Lincoln is 300,000 and the nearest “metro” is suburban sprawl Swimtown. Some 18 year old kids just aren’t gonna like it. I’d rather have a 3 star that’s all in and doesn’t give a fuck that he lives in an ocean of chain restaurants and basic white bitches than a 4 star or 5 star that hates it here and is either one foot out the door or “soft quits” and just does the minimum to stay on scholly and keep getting NIL $$$.
My dream scenario is a college football version of the Cleveland Guardian’s scouting and talent development operation. I don’t care if we run the Military Academy option or my favorite coach Mike Leach comes to Lincoln… if we are humming on identifying the right kids for UNL the system won’t matter.
