I've followed recruiting for over 15 years and I've never seen this much excitement by high level talent this early on the year. I get the feeling things are going to steamroll a bit this year.

When you have 4 and 5 star players with N in their top 5 it is progress. We do need to land more however but this is a start.

For offensive skill players, it has. For the offensive line, it is somewhat improved. However, defensive line recruiting is still a big concern, though linebacker and secondary recruiting seems good.

Nebraska beat out Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and USC for Keyshawn after getting Patrick O'Brien. They're competing head-to-head with top programs and not coming in second or worse.

Last I checked you need defensive linemen to play football. Haven't landed a d-tackle for a bit and only one 3 star d-end last year. D-linemen and corner backs are probably the most important pieces to a defense. Imo you can get away with lesser tallent at lb and safety but not dl and cb.

The recruits are geared towards a pro style offense. Not rushing. Only time will tell. It may look like 1977 again. A great passing offense but losing to teams we should beat.

One recruit does not make a class, and one good class does not make a program. Let's finish in the Top 15 in recruiting on a consistent basis before we say that we've "rounded the corner."

a couple of four star commits and a class that is no better than some over the past 8 years is not quite turning the corner.

Long way to go. Until we have 2 deep at each position and 1 additional group of 4* level talent in the redshirt group we will not be there. But this is a good start.

Until we beat the Ohio States and Michigans when it counts (BIG Championship game) THEN you can say the Huskers have turned the corner. Tell you what "If you don't ask the hottest girl to the dance, how do you know if she will say No?" Thats a Poke at The Bo and Solich era's.

Sims will have had a full healthy offseason to learn the new offense and develop chemistry with the rest of the offense. There aren't any preseason games in cfb. Expecting Thompson to develop chemistry with the offense in much less time is a recipe for loding winnable games at Minnesota and Colorado

I just think overall Casey the better option and def has leadership qualities as well. Part of this is just due to what we've seen from Casey vs what we haven't been able to see yet (real games) with Jeff Sims

I was impressed with Jeff Sims. I just feel Casey Thompson is a really good QB and could be outstanding with a good o-line. We definitely need a good back up and Sims isn't a big drop off. If the o-line is better, we go bowling this year.

Jeff Simms didn't seem like he has good throwing mechanics, and seemed like he rushed his throws. But my guess is we need both.

Sims makes too many mistakes and his knack for tossing INTs and putting the ball on the ground will get him on the bench sooner rather than later - question swill he stay if he losses the starting job

Nebraska's first two games should scare the fan base. Both on the road and with regard to Colorado, let's face it, they have way more swagger and are projecting way more aggressiveness and confidence. I think Big Red is 0-2 to start and Colorado will surprise.

Rhule has been there and done it at a d1 level. Sanders has not. Both programs are similar in records over the last few years. So I would lean on experience.

Colorado was much worse that Neb last year - a much deeper hole. We were close. With good coaching, we'll get over the top and to a bowl game. Besides Buffs suck

SHM...LOL Deion is just neon. All things that glitter aren't gold ! Colorado is going to find out the hard way just what type of coaching Deion is really capable of. I'm NOT drinking the Nebr kool-aid either, but let's face it, Rhule has put together quite the staff in comparison to Frost ! GBR !!!

With Deion being Deion and getting rid of players by essentially forcing them out I believe this will be a setback in year one. With Rhule helping most Nebraska players stay and bringing in more talent I think they will have more success in season one considering they have more talent overall.
