I would post this over on tater bills but I’ll get killed by the sunshine pumpers. Hell, probably will here as well.

This fan base, this media I overate our instate talent every single year.

And guess what? They hardly ever work out!

Nelson, Snagrass, Hickman, Georgina, Heinrich, Teddy, Betts, etc.

Need I go on? When was the last time one worked out? Nile’s freaking Paul? Was that like 2007?

Someone had to post something to make these next couple days go by fast.
 
I wouldn't go that far as to say stop recruiting in-state, but for the love of God, don't feel like we have to take EVERY in-state kid with P5 offers/interest.

We knew these guys weren't P5 material the moment they committed.
 
Obviously don't ever stop recruiting in state kids just for the sake of doing so, but I do agree that every in state kid that has a Div 1/P5 offer doesn't automatically need a Nebraska offer. Whether it be because of fit, numbers, projection, whatever, sometimes some guys wouldn't work out here as well as other places despite growing up in Omaha/Waverly/Lincoln. I hate the sentiment that some fans have that just because some in state kid gets an ISU/KSU/Cockeye offer that we HAVE to offer and pursue the kid no matter what.
 
Nebraska players tend to do better at other programs which is more a condemnation of Nebraska's ability to develop over the last decade than the ability of the players.

I think the trend will improve under Rhule.

I think this is a greater indictment on the previous regime's inability to develop and keep talent here rather than Nebraska Kids sucking

It's almost like there's a couple more layers of strategy to in-state recruiting if you evaluate it for more then 4 seconds. Perhaps the purpose of this recruiting isn't to rely on it as our main source of talent on the roster
