The committee ranks the conference champs that get a bye, which is still a committee determining who gets the byes. You can say it's not a big deal. I strongly disagree.

It’s really pretty easy though. There are only 4 top tier conferences left. Whoever wins those 4 deserves a bye. Do you see a scenario where a mountain west school will deserve a bye over the big 10 champ? Sec champ? Acc champ? Big 12 champ? I can’t 

now if the pac 12 still existed I could see argument

Are Terry and Sanders gonna be here at the same time.  Let's get both.  

Even better if mozee was here same time 

I think Dayton is coming in this weekend too 

Another thing to touch base on is everyone has always said Oregon was hard to recruit to. Isolated in the north west. So it just shows winning makes recruiting easy. So the narrative Nebraska is hard to recruit to is just an excuse. Win and the talent comes.

All of the above is absolutely true.

 

Perhaps Rhule really does have a bit more secret sauce that causes leads to under-the-radar guys to blossom on the Football field. But at the end of the day, Nebraska needs a massive increase in its acquisition of talent. 

I would say the 3 star kids he has taken generally are great track athletes with high end speed. So maybe need development in football so they don’t have the ratings of a polished football player but their ceiling is high. I believe Oregon used that same model in their building years before their recruiting took off after the Ws piled up 

Maybe I am alone in this but I think we have done very well with TE recruiting lately. So honestly it doesn’t bother me. The kid might see our depth chart and not like his chances of playing soon. Carter Nelson gonna own that position after Fidone is gone

1/500 times we’ve been in this since I started following recruiting in 2014. The only reason Dylan is even here is because of family ties. 

True, but I think his presence also changes the view of Nebraska. Now if we can string wins together people will really start to take us serious. If we had a good season without a 5* QB here people might take notice but no action. But with him here I could see people wanting to jump on board to ride the wave and media of Nebraska coming back

Forget about this one for all folks watching 

I remember when Dylan Raiola was gone to Georgia. He has genuine interest in Nebraska so if we look good this fall- heads will turn 

Would like to see about 3-4 mid to high 4 stars or higher caliber kids in each class. The 3-4s we got so far are at the borderline threshold of high 3 to 4. 

Guessing if he does some camps this summer he jumps to 4 star range. Then about mid season after he plays half a season he will be upper 4* or close to 5. The kid doesn’t have any varsity playing time on film. He sat behind Dylan so far

Not as much as you think. We also have coaches that can speed up a project. I would take Rahim no matter what.

I agree. I think a project at QB is a bigger deal. Skill positions if you have the talent with the right coaches it could click fast. Who knows what kind of coaching he is getting in high school

His level of commitment to Neb will be seen in how much, how well he does peer recruiting.  Good getting his commitment early on so that others in his class will take notice and consider Nebraska as well. 

Yes. Whether he ever plays a meaningful role here is one thing. But the biggest value is having a 4 star QB committed early to help sell the rest of the recruiting class. Sends a message Dylan was not a fluke and we are going to recruit high level QBs every year. 
 

But my personal opinion is Dylan plays 3 years and gone. Kaelin plays 1 year before Dayton takes over as redshirt sophomore. 

When Dayton plays a few games and jumps to a high 4 star borderline 5 star and then commits we won’t care who we get in the 25 class. Dayton will be the successor to Dylan

There's a chance we can pull Terry, not so sure about this guy, but getting him here is the 1st step.

Perhaps Dylan looking good and creating buzz with recruits who were here that weekend of the spring game got him to visit. Plus having another 5 star talking bout us on social media is a plus 

It would really turn some heads if we got our 5 star QB last year and get 2-5 stars this year. I believe we are trending for that 5* athlete then pull this kid.

Thats understood. Makes me wonder where this program would be if Tim Miles' team had beaten Baylor in the tourney. Lifetime contract I guess.

But he didn’t. So he fell short like everyone else. Not saying a lifetime contract but it buys him a long damn time. If he does something no one has been able to do in like 130 years of basketball why would we think we could find someone else better

If he wins one tourney game?

If we do he will have accomplished something never done in Husker Basketball History. 

At the rate this season is going hopefully we get our first tourney win and then someone gonna have to rename this thread to how big of a raise is Fred getting? 

I like idea of getting a St. Louis kid

Just looking at aTm the last 5 years.

 

2020 King 4 star .95

2021 Stowers 4 star .94

2022 Weigman 5 star .98

2023 Reed 4 star .90

2024 O'neill 3 star .87

 

I can't remember the last time Nebraska has had QB recruiting like this.

We did just land a 5 star and 4 star in the same class. I would think Dayton ends up a 5 star based on arm talent for 2026 class and I think we get him. 
 

For Manske do we think he is better than he is rated? Looks like .86 3 star. Seems like aiming low or is he under rated?

Any signs he's has the skills to be as good as his brother?

Yes he looks as talented physically. He needs to grow another 2 inches and see if he performs in games as well. So mentally is he as good is a question 

How is Washington in the Natty game wearing adidas apparel? I remember some interesting guy on the board was blaming adidas for the huskers 20 years of misery 

From what I can see he was a low 3 star as a prospect and hasn’t played much the last few years. What is there to be excited about?

I'm not that impressed with On3's ratings.  But, I would be interested in knowing what is different about how they rate players compared to other services and why they think their system is better.

They seemed way off on Raiola eval compared to other services. He floated as #1 or #2 overall recruit by most but ON3 had as 4 star.

A settlement that will set the bar for Miami and others to get out. And probably for less since FSU leaving devalues the conference. I wonder if ESPN and others  will renegotiate the contracts to keep it together or if they want the super conferences. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if the SEC and BIG10 keep adding all the legit programs and those 2 conferences break off and for a new higher class of football that resembles NFL format.
