I think the takes on the far end of the spectrum are off the mark yes, but I think the general consensus is we could be getting a more highly rated set of prospects to commit. I fully support the developmental prospects, the under the radar etc for a certain number of each class, but the question is how many is too many. We are still Nebraska and can get a certain number of higher rated kids interested regardless if we have sucked or not. We need a developer of talent, but we do need a mix of more proven talent to go with under the radar guys. I don't know who is asking for championship caliber today, but simply questioning whether this is even good enough for the foundation to build as you say.My take is that it's unreasonable to expect our level of recruiting in year one after 6 losing seasons in a row before Rhule has coached a single quarter to be championship caliber.
Why people are looking at the current recruits and worrying about winning conference championships is insane. It's a process and a build.
