If we don't at least make the top 5 that is just not right. Whether or not he comes here is one thing. If he doesn't at least list us that is a major problem with his talent. We need OLBs bad and to not even make top 5 of an instate player at a position of need would be devastating.
Another side of the weather issue that never gets brought up is if you think it's hot sometimes in early September playing in Lincoln, try early September in a lot of the SEC country.
Who has minimal mutual interest in us from the start. Omaha kids do not care about Nebraska football. Due to a lot of factors..
We all want to win the local recruits ! But, we also need to remember that these kids have not seen a winner in Lincoln in their lifetime. Furthermore, they hear all of the negative rhetoric from everyone. In this time, unless a kid grew up in a Husker loving family, they really have no strong ties. It comes down to winning. It also comes down to kids who want to play for Nebraska, regardless of their home address.
I get it. But I think most fans hoped going into year 4 of the Frost era we would be getting these kids. Losing makes these things tough
Frost has done very good with instate or close proximity kids since he's been here. For some reason, a few top recruits that fall into that category next year aren't interested and never have been. So, I would prefer to look at the recruits Frost has brought in locally over his tenure here and not concentrate on a few in a given year. That trend is positive and better than his predecessors.
He has had a decent track record up to this point but 2022 has 5 legit D1 prospects in this state and there is a very good chance that we only get 1 (Hausmann) of them and that is still up in the air.
I agree he has done good the last few years. Minus Dickerson. But we struggle as it is to get 4 stars players then actually keep them. I see most local kids being more loyal. So I hope to load up on the local talent to have kids we can count on
