HuskerMack Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well right now with just 5 people we still look better then over half the teams out there. First number after the team name is total number of recruits then 5stars,4,3 then average stars and then points http://rivals100.rivals.com/teamrank.asp?SID=0 26 Washington 13 0 3 8 2.92 572 27 Auburn 13 0 2 10 2.92 558 28 Utah 13 0 2 9 2.69 478 29 UCLA 6 0 3 3 3.50 447 30 Houston 20 0 1 11 2.15 422 31 Arizona State 7 0 2 5 3.29 406 32 Oklahoma State 15 0 2 8 2.13 397 33 Illinois 9 0 2 6 2.89 372 34 Maryland 15 0 2 8 2.53 370 35 Minnesota 10 0 2 7 2.90 367 36 Cincinnati 15 0 1 8 2.13 354 Vanderbilt 20 0 0 14 2.30 354 38 N.C.

knapplc Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 IT'S NOT ENOUGH!! DO YOU HEAR ME!?!!!????!?!???!!!!??? IT! IS! NOT! ENOUGH!!!!!! If we're not aligned in a harmonious convergence with USC, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma and LSU, we might as well give up football. Forever. Because without that kind of class THIS YEAR, we will never, ever, ever win anything ever again. Ever. May God have mercy on our souls. Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Out of all of the teams listed we are tied with Oregon for the highest avg star ranking....I know that stars do not really matter in the end, but this makes me feel a little better. I know some people think the world is coming to an end b/c of our lack of recruits and I have been a little frustrated as well, but I do believe Bo will get the job done and get the players HE needs to run the system.

RockyMountainOySker Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 kinda funny how texas tech has 14 recruits and they are rated 49th. doesn't look like there is a ton of talent there (and mizzou too - 12, rated 43). i'll take the 5 we have and build from there.... Quote Link to comment

Because without that kind of class THIS YEAR, we will never, ever, ever win anything ever again. Ever. May God have mercy on our souls. The last time we were aligned with those teams. Our coach get "FIRED" 24 (roughly) months later. The type of recruits, I assume, you're looking for look at championship capability. NE need to compete befor we get those. If NE wins the north, and upsets/or plays close Oklahoma or Texas, we will be where Missery was and start getting those recruits back. Bo has talent there, he took a sad team in his first year and turned it into a 9-4 bowl winning team (redshirted basically his entire first class). The "proof needs to be in the pudding" for the next class. What I'm saying is; If the Huskers win, the recruits will follow. How do you talk to a H.S. Kid and tell him to come to NE when he can go to OK or TX (closer to home) to win. This class "WILL" change when the Huskers start putting up big wins. If the Huskers beat VT, look at recruits to start looking again, especially if the Husker give OK a scare (or better yet a loss!!!!!) Quote Link to comment
Dalboy Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 The rankings don't tell the whole story right now. Consider that Sloan, one of NU's verbals is a very soft committ and likely won't end up in Lincoln. Look at Kansas, right above NU on the team rankings. 3 of their verbals aren't even ranked yet. Dave Clark, the juco CB will end up being a 4 star and Mundine, the currently unranked LB will be an easy 3 star. Who knows if their kicker will ever be ranked. Rivals only ranked 10 kickers last year and all 10 were 3 stars. Bottom line right now - lots of quality kids are not ranked yet, there is going to be a lot of movement in the next 6 months. On a side note, what a class Stanford has coming in so far. I like to see that. Quote Link to comment
blinky Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Consider that Sloan, one of NU's verbals is a very soft committ and likely won't end up in Lincoln. Please elaborate. I know he hasn't been to Lincoln yet, but when that visit happens wouldn't that help to assure his commitment? Quote Link to comment
fro daddy Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 kinda funny how texas tech has 14 recruits and they are rated 49th. doesn't look like there is a ton of talent there (and mizzou too - 12, rated 43). i'll take the 5 we have and build from there.... you got to remember, ultimatly you are still NE. And when a kid commits to NE, USC, FL, ND and so on. He is much more likely to get a higher ranking than comminting to MU, KU, TT, TCU and so on. If you look at alot of MU's recruites, there are a number that are .1 from a 4 star. On the other end of that, I have heard this discussed a number of time WAY before they commited else where. But from the people that have seen then play many times, they were surprised that Gabbert and Terry got a 4th star. I have seen ALOT of HS football in the state of MO. Let me just say this, How many of you, really believe, that the 5th and 7th ranked players in the state are 4 stars? Do you really believe that MO is producing 7, 4 star and higher players this year? Most years they have 3 or 4, if that. This year thats doubled. Truth is its because of "who" they origianally commited too, not how good they are. Are they fine football players, yeah they are. If they commited to KU or Iowa st would they have gotten a 4th star. I wouldnt have bet on it. Quote Link to comment

If Kid A and Kid B are equally talented, Kid A will get a higher star rating if he commits to USC and Kid B commits to Missouri. Kinda makes ya wonder what the point of the rankings are if they're so flexible, huh? Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I see what you're saying and I agree with you guys to an extent. However, both of them were four stars before they ever committed to NU. I think sometimes we don't get the bump ups either. Look at Sean Fisher who had offers from a ton of schools including OU. Cameron Meredith had several offers including one from OU. Both were 5.7 3 stars and very well could have been four stars. I wonder if they had committed to a school like OU would they have got the fourth star? Look how long it took Cody Green to move up the rankings. He put up rediculous stats in Texas and still took till the end of the year to even put him somewhere in the top 100 if I remember right, he could have still been a little outside.

Aboslutely. Missouri is the second most populous state in the Big XII with nearly 6 million. I believe that is roughly a fourth the population in Texas. So if Texas can turn out kids in the hundreds, Missouri should be able to turn out a good number of good football players too. Imo, Missouri is probably under recruited. Quote Link to comment

There have been recruits fall off with their ranking when committing here because we haven't been that great force in the Rivals era... If we were OU or UT I would agree with that.. However, I would put NU more in that MU/KU range for recruiting right now. Quote Link to comment
