Changes in recruiting?

I agree with you on this.  Nebraska High Schools were behind the curve on 7 on 7 leagues, and many of the athletes I showed are multi-sport athletes, so they need to be developed into polished football players.  Development is where supposedly Rhule excels, so it could be a good combination going forward.

EDIT:  I also pointed out the 500-mile radius should be an emphasis, and not just Omaha (although it was the one city I pointed out).

The 500-mile radius would include Omaha, KC, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago, Denver, and OKC. 750-mile radius would include Dallas, Indy, Milwaukee, Louisville, Memphis, and Nashville. And then with Mickey you have to include NOLA and the rest of Louisiana.

 
Appreciate the responses. 

From someone separated from seeing and reading about the players in the Omaha area, there is a fine line of getting legit talent and still wanting to build the program with Nebraska boys

I've noted the lack of D1 talent being produced in the Metro for years.  Not just that Nebraska wasn't getting the talent, but that there simply wasn't much of it going anywhere.

That's definitely changed in the last few years.  And other than last year Nebraska has done a pretty good job of keeping them home.

Here are the top five prospects from the state according to the 247 Composite and which class they played in high school.  Players the Husker got are highlighted red.  Players are crossed out if they didn't go to a Power 5 school (Marsh originally walked-on at NU then transferred).

2023 - Coleman (A), Flores (B), McIntyre (C), Noonan (A), Gottula (A)

2022 - Jackson (A), Woods (A), Helms (A), Riley-Ducker (A), Stenger (A)

2021 - Dickerson (A), K. Johnson (A), Carnie (B), Prochazka (A), Bretz (A)

2020 - Betts (A), Watts (A), Swanson (A), Ducker (A), Gifford (A)

2019 - Henrich (A), Hickman (A), Nelson (B), Snodgrass (B), Piper (C)

2018 - Jurgens (B), Mapieu (B), Williams (A), Schlager (B), Stai (B)

2017 - Allen (B), Walker (A), Bradley (A), Strom (A), Kitrell (B)

2016 - Fant (A), Bubak (C), Stille (C), Manchigiah (A), Cromer (B)

2015 - Neal (A), Decker (A), Holtorf (B), Johnson (A), Strong (A)

2014 - Foster (A), Phillips (A), Stoltenberg (B), Gifford (A), Rose (A)

2013 - Banderas (A), LaCouture (A), Minter (A), Bazata (D), Sayles (A)

2012 - Bender (A), Ott (D), Cotton (A), Rahmings (C), Grigsby (A)

2011 - Reeves (B), Sterup (C), Davie (B), Fisher (A), Lampkin (A)

2010 - Rodriguez (B), Evans (B), Dietz (A), Cotton (A), Marsh (A)

2009 - Lechner (A), Sellers (B), Zimmerer (B), Pensick (A), Davis (A)

 
These won't really be changes but give an idea of where they'll look first.  Applewhite would seem to help with Texas.  Joseph right next door.
