Brilliant move by the staff. It has been mentioned before that the last staff would shy away when the big boys were around, don't know if that was true or not, however this group seems to have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to MU.

Don't believe our "elite" recruiters have stated this excuse. However, it is an opinion of one of our posters and a more then fair opinion at this point. If NU were to get back to finishing in the top 10 standings yearly and finishing in the playoffs on a 1 of 3 year basis then i'm guessing the opinions of our posters would be that we can compete with MU and OSU for top recruits. In January 2016 finishing 3rd/4th is solid - in future years we can hope/expect better !!!

I think the reason fitz is looking around is that he is #5 on our board. If we miss on Jackson (OT) or Allen (TE) - then he will be NU. However I think there is a better than 50% chance that we go 4 for 4.

Needed to bump this thread - because the prediction is coming!!!!

We should start a new thread and call it "ranking the post in the thread about ranking last 4 coaches". My vote would be - Tie for 1st: post #2 & post #16 ............................................................................. post #1

Who? He is one of the head directors of recruiting on 247. 90% success rate in predictions. He doesn't really just guess. Often uses "sources" with his explanations. Idk I am just becoming a lot more worried about this one. If we lose Farniok my feeling about this class goes down a lot. ESPECIALLY losing him to Iowa. And ESPECIALLY if Iowa takes Alaric Jackson from us too (which Wiltfong also predicted) ON TOP of the fact that they already took Noah Fant. I know we have some other solid pieces but OT is a position of huge need and losing big recruits to Iowa of all teams would be extremely disappointing.

....and the fish aren't talking

I haven't been able to find any of these comments - do you care to share???

If you look at the teams ranked higher then 20th - only Arkansas and Tennessee have solid star rankings. I have no idea how many spots the teams above us have to fill, however this class is on pace for 25ish and could finish inside the top 20 if we get all key players. No this doesn't mean we are satisfied with around 20th, however as many have mentioned one step at a time!!!

Just like some kids can't wait to get out of Nebraska, some kids are excited to go to a place that feels like FOOTBALL ONLY - NU feels that way to some!!!!

I mentioned 3 or 4 months ago that some of the comments by recruits and the numbers the staff wanted at lb and dl made it look like the change could happen. It was mentioned that this staff has no history with 3-4, however this staff just moved to a new zip code and change would be easier now.....

Being an SEC guy - my guess is you vote for yourself.....

This does seem odd. Size being an issue with DL maybe Evaluating young HS kids is not something the staff likes to do???? However waiting longer would not be good for building the relationship. Maybe they are communicating with several, but holding off to offer????

Man you got him way wrong - he was president of ...... Life is good!!!

You guys are classic. Keep posting that s_ _ _

lol, a good night doesn't negate previous games... which was pretty clear poor coaching was to blame. Things sure look like they are building, but we have seen this numerous times. I won't be counting my chickens before they hatch. We beat MSU last year too. MSU won 4 games in the NCAA tourney last year before losing in round 5 to Duke. Funny thing is after posting my comment and reading it again - my first thought was wondering if the next post on this thread would be a vote of confidence for NU or somebody making a comment about how this game doesn't...... after a short pause your tag was the first to come to my mind. Keep blasting the team thou Keep trolling! I didn't blast anyone, nice try! You don't seem to handle other people having a different opinion than you, maybe you should take a break from posting. But you always fine the bad in the good! Show me where I said anything bad about this game in this thread, anything. not something objective, but bad. I will give you credit - you have a way with words You are good at what you do!!!

Like that trend!!!

I would much rather have the guys we built relationships with. Just curious why we aren't after a DT. It's either a change to 3-4 or they feel like all the underclassmen will pan out - making us deeper then we look

Because he is not coming here and we want to focus our resources on attainable targets? He visited Texas right before decommitting. And he has visits already lined up to A&M and Tennessee these next 2 weeekends. K, then why aren't we after an "attainable" DT? Because a team can only offer so many guys each year - Why can't we trust that the staff knows which holes to fill first

Man what a poor coaching night that was - should be able to beat a team like that by 20+ Keep it rolling - would love to see a run similar to 2013 (probably not going to happen - however our newcomers are starting to gel !!!

Good Shooting!!!

Not enough for me But it comes down to my man Phil Phil will always be second to Tiger

Did you miss the part about where TA basically didn't listen to him most of the year. How can you help someone if they will not listen to you? Just like me trying to help you understand, but you not listening. So Langs had one year with him and Beck had how many?? Depends on how you want to look at it. Beck was here when TA was a True Freshman and then he was kind of thrown in as a redshirt freshman and then the sophomore year. So the one on one time Beck spent with TA with Martinez still on the team leads me to believe it was about the same amount of time as Langsdorf this year. wow if this was really the case - we now have an idea why player development under past staff was not top notch. Focusing ONLY on the starters and not preparing the underclassmen seems like a good way to fail in the college game.
