I mean…this makes sense though doesn’t it? If you have all your guys working on recruiting portal players you’re not going to have as many resources available to recruit HS players during that time.Some of the recruiting beat writers saying Nebraska not keeping pace the last couple of months:
(from RSS)
Cobbj: TOS Schaefer ranted on DB’s show yesterday that Nebraska needs to pick up their recruiting game and can’t just rely on DMs and texts to recruits…need to get out and pound the pavement.
B.Munsson: There has been a considerable drop off to where things were following the Wisconsin or Cockeye games to now. Communication has broken down through the portal recruiting and coaching changes.
Sure, there are reasons for it. But if other schools can do both at the same time and not fall beind on HS recruting, then Nebraska is losing important ground. There should be enough staff to recurit both HS and the portal at the same time.I mean…this makes sense though doesn’t it?

Not saying it’s not a problem, but I guess I’m not worried about our coaches’ ability to make up ground at this stage in the game.

Do we? This might have been true for a long time, but OL has been way down my list of issues the past 2 years. Donnie seems to be coaching his room decently well.Amazing we seem to struggle on the OL but still let kids go to other B1G schools.
How much of this is that we changed both offensive & defensive coordinators, and clearly changing both offensive philosophy & what we're looking for in the defensive backfield? I imagine a fair number of previously potential recruits are going to be intentionally left behind.Some of the recruiting beat writers saying Nebraska not keeping pace the last couple of months:

Was it a dead period for HS recruiting after the games you mentioned? I don't know that calendar well enough to know.Sure, there are reasons for it.

There are short dead periods sprinkeled in, but in general, December is an open recruiting period.Was it a dead period for HS recruiting after the games you mentioned? I don't know that calendar well enough to know.
