Extremely impressed with the new staff on the recruiting trail

I don't think MSU had top 15-18 classes when they won it, either.

Just because its possible doesn't mean we should try and win that way. Those teams are outliers but if you want to act like that is the path to success go right ahead. The Huskers haven't won a conference championship that way any time in the recent past so until we do it the Wisconsin way im going to say upping pur recruiting a hair is a more sure fire way to championships as the data proves it.

We've been outrecruiting Wisconsin for years. Maybe we should worry about just filling the 85 schollie limit with decent players and beating Wisconsin before worrying about elite recruiting.

I don’t know about you all but I’m ready to win even if it means using monkeys riding ponies wearing tutus. 

And by winning mean a conference championship. I’m ok with lowering my expectations a bit.

Wisconsin has won the B1G three times in the last decade; therefore, the statement "The only way we will be winning this conference multiple times in a decade is if we are consistently pulling top 15-18 recruiting classes." is provably false. I guess @Dr. Strangelove is right, not debatable.

Actually that doesn't make any sense at all. 

We are not Wisconsin.  We would need to beat Wisconsin before getting a chance to play for the conference championship. What Wisconsin, a longtime and connected member in the Big 10 has accomplished, is no guarantee of what we can accomplish if we were even with them in talent.  We don't get the benefit of calls in head to head games, as was easily identifiable this year, so we actually need to be quite a bit better than Wisconsin just to win the division let alone the conference.  Matching their talent is a formula for letdown.

Wait -I'm confused.  Are the monkeys wearing the tutus or the horses wearing them?  Because that changes everything.

Not close. Wisconsin is an outlier, the vast majority of schools that don't recruit in the top 30 don't stay in the top 30.

Don't look at Wisconsin as your one example, look at the 90 or so teams that don't recruit well and evaluate their rankings.

You guys have to be joking. Someone says, and I quote, "The only way we will be winning this conference multiple times in a decade is if we are consistently pulling top 15-18 recruiting classes." I show a counter example from the last decade, and that's not enough to say that the quoted statement is false? Another team can do it but Nebraska can't? Or somehow another team being an outlier means it didn't happen?

Are you two really signing on to the notion that the only way Nebraska can win the conference multiple times in a decade is consistently pulling top 15-18 recruiting classes?

This reply doesn't make much sense. Wisconsin recruits in the top 30-40. We're not talking about teams with the 90th ranked recruiting class here.

New commit: Jaron Woodyard the #2 rated WR out of JUCO. 3 star on 247 but 4 star on other rating systems. He is also VERY fast. Would be the top 3 fastest player on our roster (which i'm guessing the other two are tyjon lindsey and spielman)

For some context:

The Maryland native ran a 10.68 in the 100-meters and a 21.50 in the 200-meters in high school. He's a home run threat nearly every time he touches the ball with that kind of speed.

Not necessarily. Just that there's a 100 example of teams not being as successful with recruiting in the 40s or worse.

You're citing one of the very, very few counter examples.

It's not impossible to win recruiting at that level, but it's considerably harder. If you want to hope for Wisconsin like success recruiting at their level, fine.
