If it benefits schools in recruiting hot beds and not Nebraska, it would be disastrous. Define "disastrous." As in how many recruits from the last five years would we not have gotten under the new system and why.

.... other than that, things are great. LJS

Nebraska Basketball ‏@HuskerHoops 16m16 minutes ago Wisconsin will be the first top-5 team to visit Lincoln since No. 3 Texas in 2011, when #Huskers won 70-67 #Nebrasketball

I don't know about disastrous but it wouldn't benefit Nebraska nearly as much as other schools. As was mentioned, it's tough for us to get kids in during the season and there isn't a lot of time between the end of the regular season and the proposed signing period. I think about 25% of our official visitors this year came after the proposed signing period. Might have been skewed slightly with the coaching change but that's not out of line for what happens a lot. Now a bunch of those kids might have signed already without visiting.

And I agree with him on this specific proposal. I think it would hurt Nebraska. An August signing period coupled with summer official visits would be a big help for Nebraska. Link

So, blaming the players? Brian Rosenthal ‏@HuskerExtraBR 9m9 minutes ago Tim Miles said offensive road problems were initially poor shooting, and now also blames poor execution, "just not running our stuff well."

Point guard and two forwards this year.

How so? I didn't see very many rebounds and I think in the highlight clip above, he is showed scoring more than Rodman did his entire time with the Bulls. He attacks the offensive glass a lot. Not sure I'd go Rodman but he does get after the rebounding.

I LOVE Stoltenberg at DE almost as much as Freedom. Hope they both stay.

It's raining 1,000 point scorers in Lincoln. Nebraska WBB ‏@HuskersWBB 2m2 minutes ago Husker fans send your congrats to Tee Laudermill as she reached 1000 points tonight!

Looks like they took a few days off which is understandable. Bet we see a flurry of offers in the next couple weeks. Todd McShane ‏@TheToddMcShane 47m47 minutes ago Batteries are recharged after a long weekend off. Now let's go make this @Huskers Class of 2016 something to remember! #GBR

Eh, I think the thread title is a little over-sold. Even Urban didn't say they were "pushing" them to transfer. Just that they were "having conversations with" him about it. With all the rumors and their current situation, I'd be surprised if someone (or several someones) didn't at least ask him if he was thinking about it and why he was or wasn't considering it. Depends on how you want to semantic it I guess.

It would help. And there are so many variables that it's hard to say for sure. But he is shooting about as many as last year (6.9 vs. 7.1) but making 0.7 less (2.6 vs. 3.3) per game. So that's basically 2 points per game. Not sure it would make a lot of difference. That is a very surprising stat......! We all seem to have this mental image that he is nowhere close to last year. If only the NCAA would institute a rule change that scored you 1 point for hitting the front of the rim..............he would be an all-American........ Actually, I screwed that up. Those are his numbers from the floor. From three, he actually shooting more (4.3 vs. 3.7) but making less (1.3 vs. 1.5). So it's actually less than one point per game different from three. But it feels a lot different because he was an above-average shooter last year (41%) and below-average this year (29%). Overall, he is down just over 2 ppg (not getting to the line as much and shooting worse there as well). But like I said, there might be other variables such as opponents being able to sag off him more which reduces driving lanes, etc.

We have a good set of DTs but they're mostly upper-classmen. All but two will be gone in two years. We are unproven at DE but there are four freshmen. Long-term, we're better off with Newell at DT.

That definitely made a difference but there was also just a lot more talent then as well. For whatever reason, it's a lot more spread out now. Not sure if it's other sports or just not as interested or what but there aren't many (any?) Scott Frosts or Ahman Greens showing up recently let alone any Terry Conneallys or Adam Trues. The big difference is schollies. Osborn had more schollies and he could afford to take more local kids and teach. Current, we are losing kids to Kansas St., Iowa St & South Dakota, Wyoming, ect. There is some talent here, but since we do not play football year round it does not get defined. Practice makes perfect. We need a coach that can evaluate talent and now whether they can be formed to play competitive D1 ball. Only time will tell! All of that contributes to not as many Husker offers but has nothing to do with how much talent is in the state. There was not spring football 20 years ago but there was still a lot of legitimate D-1 talent in the state.

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 14m14 minutes ago Dean Smith is 1 of 2 coaches in men's D-I basketball history to both play for and coach a national championship team, Bob Knight the other.

Rivals only does the top 20. I don't know that the other services cap it at a number.

Tim Beck? Well, at least we'd know we wouldn't see the same s#!^ each game. Would definitely try something different, whether what we were doing was working or not.

Yeah, his HS is 30 minutes from the University of New Mexico's campus. I'm sure they didn't have time to find out about a QB out their back door who had some crazy stats. Or won the championship in the state's largest class a stone's thrown from campus. But you've watched four minutes of film and looked at the stat sheet. I'm sure you know better than all those college coaches. Also, something they conveniently leave out of the highlight videos might have something to do with it: Link

He started outside this year due to lack of depth. But the plan was for him to move inside. Unless you've heard something recently.
