Nebrasketball Recruiting Thread

Top schools aren’t recruiting high schoolers near as hard anymore. The winning strategy has changed to get old and stay old.
Look at us this year, bunch of old guys with a ton of experience. Will be quite the shift in strategy if we get Hampton and have 3 true freshman that could all see playing time.
It’s basically the same 12 or so programs signing the top 35 kids every year
Teams like Purdue and Michigan State have made a killing in that 40-100 range and them staying multiple years and developing. To me it looks like thats the blueprint Fred is going, but if you have a legit chance at a top 10 guy the juice is worth the squeeze imo.
We are soured on it because of McGowens, but the program was in a much different place back then
Interesting note here however; according to 24/7, 5 of the top rated 10 highest ranked players recruited and committed to Nebraska, have occurred in the last 4 years. Two of the top 3.
Quietly Hoiberg is changing the way Nebraska recruits and is seen. https://247sports.com/college/nebraska/season/2026-basketball/commits/
Amazing to look at that list and remember some guys who I thought were really higly rated and excited to get. Ed Morrow 12th on that list (six spots behind Leo Curtis!) Roby 15th. Tai Webster 43rd!
Of course, he gets a whole new set of visits next year.
(Unless he reclassifies up, which there has been talk of.)
26 wtf
