Popular Post PaulCrewe Posted February 2, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ok, all this talk about a "bad class" from the realist has me wondering. How much did NU reach on these kids that signed to be a part of "your team". Jared Afalava-Schollies from Oregon, UCLA, Washington LeRoy Alexander-turned down visit to Michigan State and probable offer after committing Tommy Armstrong-Oregon, Missouri, TCU, UCLA, told the wHorns to piss off when they came begging Zaire Anderson-Miss St, TCU Thomas Brown-ASU shot down an offer to visit Oregon after committing Sam Cotton-had offers from Ohio and Tulsa, schools knew early where he would go(look at who was recruiting him though Nebraska guys in Jimmy Burrow and Scott Downing Imani Cross-South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, UCLA, Virginia Aaron Curry-Zona, Baylor, Boise,BC, Iowa, KState, Mizzou, Purdue, TCU, A&M Greg McMullen-Michigan State, Notre Dame, Ohio State Zo Moore-Ole Miss, Miss State, A&M Avery Moss-Zona, ASU, Stanford, Washington Mike Rose-Iowa, Ohio State, USC Mo Seisay-Arkansas, Cal, FSU, North Carolina, Oklahoma Paul Thurston-Zona, ASU. Arkansas, Cal, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA Vince Valentine-Bama, Zona, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Michigan St, Mizzou, Penn State, Tennessee, Wisky Jordan Westerkamp-Zona, iowa, Michigan State, Notre Dame Corey Whitaker-turned down visit to Oregon(who were gonna offer) and Florida These of course aren't every offer either. Most of those schools were ranked ahead of NU in the rankings(so obviously they are better teams) or have very good defensive and offensive minds on the staff or as head coach. There are plenty with offers from SEC schools that I didn't mention. Staffs of the "lesser" schools in that conference that must have thought a lot of these guys could compete with the big dogs in "the greatest conference in college football". Plenty had interest from "big time schools" that wanted visits even after committing to DONU. A class can be judged today, but no one honestly ain't gonna know jack until two or three years down the road. So to dog and bag on this class now is purely assinine. 18 Quote Link to comment

EZ-E Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Paulie! Stop posting facts! We all know that Bo can't bring in talent! We all know that we suck and we can't win without five star recruits! These kids all suck and dont deserve to be Huskers. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The vocal minority needs to stop reading some of the garbage. There are a select few posters all throughout the internet who think that they know everything but are quite far off. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 You forgot West Virginia on Zaire's part. Anyone think that there is a reason Zona, UCLA, Cal, Washington State, ASU, and Oregon State have been average forever? Maybe because they overlook kids like Corey Wittaker. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 You forgot West Virginia on Zaire's part. I did, also could have thrown them in on JW's list as well. But it doesn't matter, because they are all second hand leftovers. Quote Link to comment

When I see Corey W's film I get excited! He is a human bulldozer and played at the highest level in Calif High School. Schools shunned him because they assumed he had grade issues which he doesn't. He'll be a great center or guard at this level when paired with last years O line class. There is much to be excited from in the last 2 years of recruiting and soon the fruits of the coaches labor will start showing. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Will it still be a good class if the 3 with suspect grades don't make it to campus? I don't have a rivals subscription so I can't pretend to know how close they are to actually making it here. 1 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Very good. You're in the same boat with 95% of us other fans that see things with common sense and not a shadow. I never paid much attention to recruiting until yesterday, and the feeling I get is that this may be one of the most underrated classes in the country. "We only have 17 " Didnt big bad Urban get only 16 at AnOhio School. It may be a low number, but there a lot of quality players in the class, in a year that only offered a total of around 35 5 stars anyway (depending on who you read) I personally think recruting rankings for teams are a joke the way they are figured. Dont know how we ended up but according to rivals rankings I figured Nebraska to be 3rd in the nation based on average ranking, that was right before the Peat announcement. but since we have small number we're much lower. Maybe we should sign 30 2 stars and give 10 more schollies to walkon caliber players so we can be number 1 and things will be fine. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Great post. It is frustrating how many want to judge a class not by who we GET, but by who............"got away". I believe it is a VERY good class and when you add in the best walk-on group in years it bumps it up even higher! Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Who are the 3 with suspect grades? I only know of a couple offered kids who were suspect in the grade department but neither signed with Nebraska anyway. Quote Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Who are the 3 with suspect grades? I only know of a couple offered kids who were suspect in the grade department but neither signed with Nebraska anyway. Afalava, Moore, and Alexander Quote Link to comment
