With the move to the Big 10, can we recruit top running backs

[scarletNcream]

Chris Whaley, Aaron Green, who's next. Will we be able to bring in top running backs to the program now that we are going to the Big Ten. The league is more like the old Big 8 in that they do rely on the run game more than the "spread". I don't mean to say that they don't throw the ball around, and they do more zone read, but with the SEC relying on a rush option, can we attract the talent we used too.

I would say we will recruit better for rb's since Nebraska has been historically known to be a rb heavy team. Imagine the players who didn't get picked by OSU, Michigan, etc they now have another school known for great rbs.

We have great coaches here that build very good relationships with players and I believe we will still be able to recruit very good if not great talent at RB.
