His recruiting classes are not much to work with, If he able to pull 3-4 **** recruits instead od 2-3, then make good use of that talent by maturing it into something more than it was when they came to campus, Maybe---Just maybe. Over all had hopes for something different, feel like its Christmas and I just got a lump of coal

There are a number of things that go into winning football, not just recruiting. Calahan could recruit, but not coach and we all know what happened there. However, the old saying "Its all about the Jimmies and the Joes" does stand up under a test. Look at the last 10 national championship teams, All had very good recruiting classes, based on STARS, prior to winning ,Some had multiple great classes and almost all of them have had fantastic coaches. Many of these teams are loaded with 4-5 start players Even if they get great return on just 50% of their 4-5 star players, its a win ... The proof is in the results.. Heck Auburn, a darkhorse national champion last year has had over 50 4-5 star players in their last 4 classes. I am sure there are examples to support either side as far as STAR power, but this may be Bo's worst class so far. Not saying it is devoid of talent because there are a few in here that will be beasts.. However, this class is less impressive" on paper" than his earlier classes resulting in blowout losses and losses to Iowa, Minnesota etc etc.. . In contrast, how many 30 point losses does Nick Sabin have in the same time frame. ??

I never said it was a minority fan perception that Bo and his staff were out this year but rather the notion that Bo will not be the coach throughout their commitment at NU as you validated by saying Bo would get " at least another year". That "feeling" would almost have to be brought up in the living rooms by other coaching staffs whether true or not.. As for fans thinking Bo is on the hot seat, you can believe that the position is more equally weighted than what you seem to believe. If you have ever listened to the radio after a loss... The fact that top tier schools are not involved with the current class is not conjecture, look at who offered and show me the top schools, there are none. As for missing the target, I do believe to post was titled "recruiting concerns" and not Devnet's concerns, these are my concerns. Just for the record, I do not want to see Bo fired as the devil you know is better than the one you don't know...

I think there is a " feeling" that the current coaching staff will not survive for long and I am sure that recruits are hearing that information from other schools. I also am a bit concerned by the recruits we are committing simply by who the recruit is attracting. Looking over this list of the current recruits, you notice that very few if any have attracted top tier schools. So this is just not a recruiting service ranking these guys and missing but other schools are not taking serious interest in these guys as well. Not saying the sky is falling but if I was running a race, I would want a barn full of thoroughbreds instead a barn full of mules,*No disrespect intended* If this staff had a history of developing un song players and turning them into monsters, I might feel a little better.. But that has not been the case not withstanding a few exceptions just my 2 cents
