They're going to be behind on a lot of recruits for this cycle because they just got here. It matters to some recruits, but not that many. They'll be fine.

Yeah probably didn't mean to quote me

I don't see how I was flipping out about the hitting. I simply said I hope the offense starts to click soon.

It's very early and facing one of the best teams in the country with a starter that went 11-1 with a 0.76 ERA and an OBA of .172 last year. Luke Heimlich is a good pitcher. Is he a good person? Doesn't appear so... Luke Heimlich That said, hopefully the offense starts clicking soon.

Definitely a long way to go to be even remotely competitive with the top teams in the country...

I think Henrich projects as an ILB, so they won't be at the same position. Plus, Frost wants athletes, I don't think they'll turn away top guys that fit their culture and scheme.

You quoted yourself and told yourself "nice!"...?

I see Nelson at OLB for sure. Snodgrass most likely OLB, but they are leaving that open for now. Dixon is already on scholarship and is a hybrid Safety/OLB, so I'm not sure if I would exactly count him towards the OLB numbers for '19. That said, I think they'll try to get at least 1 more top end guy (Pappoe would be great) to add some talent at the spot. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of attrition at the LB spot too.

Good last ten minutes. Seemed like the crowd helped. I really hope we can play a full game and beat Penn State to close out the regular season

At some point you have to try Borchardt don't you?

Nebraska was getting lots of offensive rebounds to start the game. Indiana fixed it during a timeout. Indiana has been getting lots of offensive rebounds the last twenty minutes. Care to do anything about that Miles? Our in-game adjustments suck lately

I expected to see a team dialed in and ready to take Indiana behind the woodshed... as of now, we are far from a tournament team.

It probably matters a tiny bit, but if they watched any of Nebraska vs Illinois then that doesn't help us any.

Using this RPI predictor again - if Nebraska wins their next 2, their RPI should jump from 60th to 50th. If they then lose to Michigan, it will be 57th. If they beat Michigan and then lose to Michigan State, it will be 46th. If they beat Michigan, beat Michigan State, then lose to Purdue, it will be 37th. If they beat Michigan, beat Michigan State, then lose to Ohio State, it will be 39th. Of course these are estimates based on current RPI, but they will be close. This basically shows what many have been thinking - win the next three, including Michigan in the Big Ten tourney, and they should be okay (provided the loss in the Big Ten tourney comes to Michigan State, Purdue, or Ohio State) - if they happen to win 2 games in the Big Ten tourney, I don't see how they get left out.

Finding the Right Fit Article talking a little about the deeper part of recruiting, a kid's character. There will still be misses because there are always things you can't figure out and sometimes things change, but this strategy will surely help make sure you get a higher percentage of kids that contribute.

If Penn State beats Michigan, then that would be a pretty decent win if Nebraska can beat Penn State, but not a great one. However, our win against Michigan won't look as good then. If Michigan drops in the RPI, Nebraska will go back to having 0 tier one wins - to go along with a bad loss now to Illinois. It's interesting comparing RPI to BPI - I'm not sure exactly what the finer details are on the differences, but some teams are nowhere close on the two: Team: RPI Rank / BPI Rank Purdue: 12/3 Michigan State: 14/5 Ohio State: 20/17 Michigan: 29/24 Penn State: 77/25 Maryland: 65/35 Nebraska: 62/61 Northwestern: 115/67 Indiana: 103/75 Wisconsin: 135/82 Iowa: 145/90 Minnesota: 134/97 Illinois: 181/99 Rutgers: 206/124 Creighton: 34/18 I think it's safe to say the BPI looks at the Big Ten more favorably than the RPI.

The reward for playing a Rutgers/Iowa/Illinois/Minnesota in the second round is very low, while the risk is very high. I'd rather finish with wins in these last 2 games and get a double bye sitting at 4th in the conference, and then hopefully take out Michigan and then whoever the #1 ends up being. What you're forgetting is Nebraska has the tiebreaker over Michigan, so there's no way they can finish ahead of Nebraska UNLESS Nebraska loses to Indiana or Penn State. So in order to get 5th to have another Big Ten tourney game, they'd have to have another loss... how is that helpful?
