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.
Reply ReplyThe 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.
Reply ReplyOne 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."
Reply ReplySaying it has turned the corner only can be said a few years from now when the talent pans out.
Reply ReplyHold your horses. If we land a Top 15 Class for 2 consecutive years then break out the champagne; otherwise, keep your pants on.
Reply ReplyI'm hoping it has turned but it isn't next Feb yet. It would be cool to see it go as we dream. Everybody should want to be a HUSKER
Reply ReplyLike a previous poster stated...we got work to do...but I like the direction
Reply Replystill real early on saying that any corner has been turned, we get to ahead of ourselves and then here comes the hay maker right on your chops...let's let it play out....
Reply ReplyWe started out pretty fast two years ago. It's encouraging, but until we're consistently landing top fifteen classes year after year, were not there yet.
Reply ReplyI think the recruiting is most definitely improved since Mike has been the head coach but with that said, we still have work to do and our recruiting still needs to get better.
Reply ReplyI want to see this kind of production in recruiting continue before I am ready to vote yes to this question, absolutely a step in the right direction! GO BIG RED!!!
Reply ReplyLong 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.
Reply ReplyLet's see how things progress after year 3, we all remember Marlon Lucky...

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.
ReplyCause this staff can recruit!!
ReplyThings in motion tend to stay in motion
ReplyCuz the Huskers are getting recruits that in past years they wouldn't have a chance to get. The recruiting seems to b getting better!
ReplyWhen 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.
ReplyCannot hurt any...
ReplyFor 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.
ReplyNebraska 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.
Replyyup
ReplyWe are now focusing on the best players the country (though we can't expect to win the majority) and that is refreshing.
ReplyKarma ... Ours is due!!!
