OK....if I took the OP wrong then I apologize.
But, I read into it that we will never be able to recruit with people like the SEC, Texas and USC.....
And that we will never have top ten recruiting classes like those teams either.
And, that we will just never have the talent like the big boys....
So.....we should just pay attention to the conference and fight to just get into BCS games (which would be an improvement over the last 10 years) and leave the NC to the big boys.
We CAN recruit at that level if we continue to improve our winning and our efforts to go find the players that are that good and want to come here.
Another thing that would greatly improve our team (and every northern power house team) is if we would develop HS talent up north like they do in the south. We need Spring football and other benefits that southern HS players have. There isn't a huge genetic difference that happens somewhere around the Mason Dixon Line. We have athletes up here also. They just need developed.
What I do agree with is that we need to be the best program in the country at developing the talent we bring in. If we can do that, then the top talent that is now going to SEC, Texas and USC will start thinking more about coming to Nebraska.
