    Frazier is too low, but going by stats you could argue he's too high. My two things with him are after his freshman year, he lost one game. He was co-mvp of that game, and between the missed field goal and refs should've won. And no one else will ever be mvp of 3 straight title games - I know he shared it in '93, still counts. 

     

    It's impossible to truly rank these guys across positions and era, but they are all worthy inclusions in the top 150 for sure. 

    If Tommie won the Heisman, I wonder if he would be ranked higher. Accolades beget accolades.

    If you also read the tea leaves with scholarship numbers, Betts being allowed to sign scream that Mo is not expected to be on scholarship next semester 

    There are two open spots for this class still, and that is with Betts and Washington. Those leaves you have might not be tea :lol:

    Actually, young people today assume that almost EVERY image they see is a Photoshopped alternate reality. It is even sometimes hard to convince them that actual images are NOT Photoshopped. So I think you are fears are a wee bit overblown.

     

    If you want to worry about something, worry about the fact that we have no problem recruiting offensive superstars, because Scott Frost is a Certified Offensive Genius. However, we need a similar genius on the defensive side of the ball to recruit defensive superstars. SF did not help his cause with his quote last year "I don't call defense".

    Well, I would argue you are worrying about nothing when you look at the individual recruiting ranks of players from last class under Frost.

    Staying on topic (i.e., Nixon), the stigma of UNL sitting in the middle of the cornfield is real and affects national recruiting. That is why nearly every recruit not from Nebraska mentions how surprised they are that Lincoln is an actual city when they visit. Honestly, this is such a common talking point, I am not sure why you feel the need to debate it.

    So here is the problem with this image. It depicts the stadium emerging from the middle of a cornfield, which is exactly the stereotype that Nebraska battles against in recruiting. Heck, I won't be surprised if some prospects think that is a real picture.

     

    All that context aside, I personally like it. Just may convey the wrong message.

  5. Seems like an equivalent prospect to Watts. This is one of the things that gives this staff good recruiting success. They have multiple options, never being left in the cold when one recruit commits less where.

    Considering he unofficially visited in February if we could get him to take an official visit for a game this year it might give us a shot. 

    Since he decommited from OU after taking an OV to A&M, my guess is Nebraska will need to get an OV during the summer and soon.

    Hope that can translate to the gridiron this fall.  Could have some speed on the field. 

     

    Woody- 10.4

    johnson,nance,Houston- 10.6

    Nance looked really thin during the spring game. Might need to add some strength before he can be an effective perimeter blocker, which is critical for this offense.

    Added nothing repeated Frost and stole comments from a Mich/Mich State rivalry. 

    It not even a comparable analogy. Michigan St is the little brother to Michigan because they are in the same state. If you wanted to extent that comparison to Nebraska and Wisconsin (which does not work because of the historic difference in these two programs), it should be that Nebraska is the kid neighbor who follows Wisconsin around. Just lazy journalism, even for a hit job.

    ... We must REALLY not like our depth on the line if we're willing to add two spots late. That is concerning. 

    Depth for 2020 and beyond. Graduating a lot after the 2019 season.
