Everyone worried about breaking in a new QB in 2009 should remember this: OU broke in a new QB in 2007{S.B.}.Worked out pretty well for them,eh? Trust the NU coaches.QB will be a solid position by mid-season.

"There is no such thing as a redshirt at Florida anymore," said Gators coach Urban Meyer. "We try to make that real clear."{from SI.com} That tells me that,regardless of class,jobs are up for grabs to ALL players.It happens at USC.it promotes competition,thus getting the best player for the position. Is this something that Bo can institute?It seems to me that he like to redshirt.Look at the 2008 class.{Though I think that was done with an eye towards 2009 and 2010. Your thoughts?

No significant talent gap? Between who?NU and Iowa St? NU wants to compete with Texas and OU and there was a very significant talent gap.When that gap narrows{and I hope this staff is up to it.}NU will battle for Big 12 Championships.

If the 2008 and 2009 recruiting class don't win a Big 12 Championship,then it will be a big Disappointment.

I follow the CFL and BB will never play here. There is a strict salary cap,and the only players making big money are the QB's.The top QB can make about $450,000/year. $5million for BB in the CFL?He might as well buy a team for that much.

All I'm saying is in 2010 I'd like to see NU in the mix on the top 100 players in the country.Guys that are highly rated might really be impactful under Bo and staff.

From the 2008 class,who played and who redshirted? It seems to me that Bo/staff decided to R/S alot of players in hopes of better players and depth for 2009. The players from 2008: Smith, P.J. Cooper, Khiry Whaley, Alonzo Williams, Josh Reed, Kyler Meredith, Cameron Fisher, Sean Okafor, Collins Who above will make an impact in 2009? I'd like to see Okafor moved to Safety. BTW,will Pelini start to play younger players{ala USC} as depth gets better and he gets his own players? GBR.

D.Byrd to Juco.

Don't forget about L. Washington and A. Whaley. Btw,why didn't Washington play more in 2008?We lost alot of linebackers in 2007. Injured? Didn't pick up scheme? Hasn't panned out? He's a smart kid.

If you look it up,NU's defence, that"sucked",finished 2nd in the Big 12.Oh yeah,that same defence finished ahead of OU.

Norman was never going to qualify. Looks like he's going to Portland St.Wow,what a drop!

Does anyone know if there are any posssible NQ from this 2009 class? I'm concerned about these guys. D. Washington J. Ankrah D. Byrd I hope all qualify,but every year there are casualties. Does Bo/Staff recruit guys that could be risky? Thanks.

I'm glad I'm not 18 and deciding which school to go to. GBR.

No, I don't belive you at all. So I will not repeat those words. Now you repeat after me: Recruiting does not matter at all, and walk-ons from Nebraska is all we need to win the BCS Championship. And no insert sarcasam sign is needed at all either. Recruiting DOES matter.Yes,5 star players don't grow on trees.But I would like to see NU in on players on the Rivals top 100.2009 class,not so much.We still don't know if this staff can recruit.I'd say they probably can.The staff sure can coach.What would they do with Tejas' players? Recruiting needs to get to the point where Rivals etc say Pelini is recruiting this kid,he must be a stud.{ala PCarroll}.You reap what you sough.Look at USC,Texas,Fla,OSU,OU. Remember,OU battles and beats Texas alot of the time for big time recruits in the Longhorns own backyard.Lets get NU in the mix for the best players in Texas. It's a new world.Recruiting is a huge part of the equation for Championships.

Yes,Our class is Top 25,and depending on the coaching,we could move up in the Top 25 rankings during the season.The one unknown is still if Bo and staff can pull in the big time recruit.Hopefully they will,but right now we don't know. That said,Cody Green was a huge get.Hope he becomes great. But we still need to surround him{or Zac Lee} with impact players,and the roster,right now,looks bereft of them.

I sure hope it's Khiry Cooper. It sure isn't C.Brooks.He's had his chances and it just hasn't workrd out. Btw,NU really needs to start recruiting big-time WR's now. The WR's we have don't seem to be impact players. Look at OU as the kind of wideouts we need to be dangerous on O.

When will NU be able to realistically be in the mix for the 5 star players? I love the Pelini hiring,but when you look at rivals 5 star and top 100 players,NU is absent. Will the current staff be able to recruit these players to Nebraska? I know star rankings are not everything,but when you look at who is winning MNC,its the guys with the best recruiting.{USC,Fla,LSU,Texas,Ohio State....} Face it,recruiting is SO important to NU as the state talent pool is so thin. NU will not win the Big 12 Title until the recruiting is top 10. Your thoughts?

Who in the 2008 recruiting class was redshirted in 2008 and we can look forward to being on the 2 deep depth chart in 2009? Players that will make an impact in 2009.
