If Rhule has a losing season this year ….

Call me an overreacting crooting degenerate but I don’t see how you could consider your two best croots out of OV szn being Parker and either Simpson or Jones being a success (and I really like them and a couple other guys like J Jones and Hawthorne). Especially when you have Raiola to sell. I wasn’t expecting blue chip 4 or 5 stars at every position like some delusional fans do but losing localish guys like Merritt and others that you’ve cultivated a long relationship with like the NV linemen and Mills really, really hurts. Even if you want to bank on going 8-4/9-3 this season and trying to flip some guys what is that realistically? Maybe 3-4 guys, 1 or 2 of which who might be legit consensus 4 stars?

And no, I don’t believe for a second that Terry is going to turn down two in state powers and Oregon to come to Nebraska.

I don't think Raiola was ever going to move the needle much with other recruits. Every single year croots talk about playing together or analysts say certain guys are package deals and it almost never comes to fruition. Raiola is less of a sell because every school we're competing against has an elite qb prospect.

This is obviously not the yield of players they were hoping for early so we will have to just hope Rhule isn't the next in a long line or husker head coaches who are full of shit about identifying dudes who can play in the NFL even though they aren't highly coveted croots
