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.

Cuz the Huskers are getting recruits that in past years they wouldn't have a chance to get. The recruiting seems to b getting better!

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.

We are now focusing on the best players the country (though we can't expect to win the majority) and that is refreshing.

Have at least two years of top 15 recruiting then we'll talk.

Nice bump, but turned the corner? Not yet, but has potential.

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.

One commit does not a recruiting class make.

Saying it has turned the corner only can be said a few years from now when the talent pans out.

Hold your horses. If we land a Top 15 Class for 2 consecutive years then break out the champagne; otherwise, keep your pants on.

I'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

We 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.

I 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.

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.
