I don’t hate the premise, but I think the conclusions you’re getting to are wrong and the extreme is slightly over the top here.

There’s no reason Nebraska can’t or shouldn’t be a top 20 team in terms of talent every year, period. Get there however you will. But get there. I’m just not seeing the methods that I’m confident would work employed at the moment.
Bad news for the Duck's "we are competing with Eastern Illinois in recruiting" sentiment

 



Matthew Anderson 5.6
Ronald Thompkins 5.7
Jackson Hannah 5.8
Luke McCaffrey 5.7
Desmond Bland 5.8
Rahmir Johnson 5.8
Ethan Piper 5.5
Garrett Snodgrass 5.6
Garret Nelson 5.7

Frost class at the same point. 3 4 stars one of which never made it to campus the other never played amd transferred to walk on at Tennessee. We were the only ones offering McCaffrey as a QB.

I remember being excited about this class. What shit it ended up being.
I don’t see any Wandale Robinson and Ty Robinsons on our recruiting board right now. A Dedrick Mills would be nice whats our RB board look like right now? That class also produced many starters and 2 current OL starters.

Last i checked we got a white boy who’s best offer is Rice at the top of our RB list now….

You like horse shoes and hand grenades? I’m talking about commits big fella. You know, the thing that matters.

Do top 5 lists mean a god damn thing? Most put us up there cuz they know it means lots of likes and retweets from Husker Twitter.

Next are you going to tell me we have a shot at Brandon Baker or Nate Frasier?
 
Something notable, they said on the radio that neither Barta or Peters were in the system before they committed, so neither of them have been evaluated by a recruiting service. It really goes to show that these recruiting services really know nothing about a lot of these kids unless they attend a camp or receive p5 offers.

I haven't paid enough attention to who possible commitments are. I don't know how many future starters this class has but not sure how you're still impressed with people that went 4-8.

You think maybe that had something to do with coaching and not the players? How’d Wandale fair at Kentucky?

Barta attended Cockeye State’s camp the week prior to ours

28 commits in that class. 17 never played (Javin Wright, Mosai Newsom, Garret Snodgrass still could).

Gonedale amd McCaffrey played but transferred.

Of the other 9 starters more than likely none will be drafted.

Does that sound like a good class to you?

Maybe Duck man is arguing this, maybe he’s not. But I don’t think the argument is Frost vs Rhule. It’s what’s happening now in recruiting vs what needs to happen for us to achieve the success we want. If those two things are in line I don’t have issues.
 
That doesn't get you an evaluation by a recruiting service. You have to attend one of the service ran camps.
Then why did Prude just get ranked after attending ours? It wasn’t service ran. Same can be said for Gradney, Barta, and the cockeye OL.

I don't think Newsom can play at Nebraska. Think he transferred to a Dakota school

Wandale, Ty Rob, and Nick Henrich are head and shoulders better than anything we have committed and Rhule has been singing the praises of Benhart and Piper all spring. Dedrick Mills sucked? Garret Nelson and Vokolek sucked?

I don’t see any signs pointing at this class being better than our 2019 class. I’m glad you feel different. I wish i had your optimism.
 
I need a batch of the Rhule-Aid that makes beating out Eastern Illinois and Southern Missouri State and UTEP and Temple a recruiting win. Only like 4 of our 12 commits have other P5 offers.

@Jim14510 can you serve me up a cup? Sprinkle some extra blind faith on the top please.
 
We will never know how good the 2019 class is/was due to terrible coaching and development over 5 years.

But i can promise you this… even Nick Saban wouldn’t win the conference with guys we are getting commits from right now. Just turn on the tape
 
Shhhhhh the top 5 lists mean a lot to these Rhulesters around here…
Let me quote you so you can argue with your dumbass self:

"I’m glad that competing with eastern illinois and southern missouri state for recruits is acceptable to some of you."

Not for recruiting classes - for specific individual recruits is what you said. I know you love to move the posts...but within 23 seconds of seeing your post I see Ross' final 5 - I think Tennessee, OU, Michigan, and Penn State all have plenty of social media traction on their own. But ok.

For this specific recruit we are, again to quote you, "competing with" those 4 programs. I don't see Eastern Illinois and SMSU on his final list.

You, again, for the millionth time, or so fucking wrong that it's hilarious.

Didn't Prude attend a satellite camp? That's a little different than a team specific camp. I would imagine there could be representatives from On3 there potentially? You also get a ranking for getting offers. This is well known and is part of the bias that exists in the recruiting service world. You're allowed to bitch and moan as much as you want, but the number of 3 stars and FCS kids that get drafted tells us there are still plenty of kids that slip through the cracks. I don't know why you think Rhule could find them successfully at Temple and Baylor, but it's impossible for him to find them at Nebraska. You gotta just chill out. He even told everyone in Nebraska months ago during one of his pressers this was going to happen. Were you bitching about it then?
