was just looking at that I really think that if Giles or Burkhead come we will be in the in the 25th or 28th range by the end of the season. If you dont count last year since it wasnt a full season of recruiting that is pretty good for a first year head coach.

Agreed that Brooks still has a year to redeem himself.
Leon Washington? Of the Jets? Must have meant Leon Jackson.

Maryland has had a pretty strong year...... can't say it really compares to Duke football and, their one annual preseason top 25 sympathy vote from Spurrier (I think). :dunno

If we can close on a couple more 4*'s before all is said and done we'll move up a ways.
We weren't likely to have a highly ranked class coming into this year. We'll be more dependent on scouting/appraisal, lesser-known sleepers like Bodtmann, Zimmerer, and Evans(if he qualifies) will have to perform.

Hi, new guy here.
I was just wondering... where did Nebraska typically fall in terms of recruiting ranking... back in the Osborne years?
Has anyone ever tracked just how well the Rivals 100 (for example) have performed in the years following their recruitment?
I'm curious just how much these rankings are really worth... outside of bragging rights.
Thanks!

the rankings haven't been updated since Young committed, but i still don't get this.....
we have(referring to the non-updated list) 17 commits at an average star ranking of 3.06, and we're ranked 35. mizzou has 16 commits at an average star ranking of 3.00, and they're ranked 28.
my question for you folks who pay for that stuff, is rivals being biased or do they have a legit rankings system?

I would look at players RR instead of the stars... its more precise. getting a star grade is sort of like a grade in school. a 80 and an 89 were both B's at my high school but the 89 is clearly better.
looking further down(or up) the list......
NU 17 commits, 3.06, rank 35
Ga.Tech 17 commits, 2.88, ranked 34
Minn. 15 commits, 2.80, ranked 33
West Va. 17 commits, 3.00, ranked 31
Mizzou 16 commits, 3.00, ranked 28
there's a few other schools with lower star averages, but more commits so i'll leave em alone.

This is how they come to their rankings, and how a team can be above/below another team with seemingly similar players.
EDIT: As of today, we moved up to #33...for what it's worth.

Also, FWIW, Scout tends to be more accurate in retrospective analyses of its class, NU and all others.
