kchusker_chris Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 And a year ago at this time Michigan had 16 recruits with only one outside the 500 mile circle while three of our four recruits were outside 500 miles. Cherry-picking one year doesn't prove much of anything. ...as you cherry pick a year... 1 Quote Link to comment

Cherry-picking one year doesn't prove much of anything. ...as you cherry pick a year... Good try but no. Do I really need to spell it out for you? You asked if we were really on the same level as Michigan as they were getting recruits from a greater distance than we were and provided one example. I only pointed out that one year doesn't always tell the whole story and provided a counter example. If you would like to show that this consistently happens over several years than that's fine. Just because I didn't disprove your assertion doesn't make it true. It's your job to prove your own assertion. 2 Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Slow start (maybe)...but the coaches have recovered nicely. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I really didn't think it was that much of a slow start to begin with. Quote Link to comment

BartonHusker Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 We aren't at the level of Michigan/Ohio State and never have been when it comes to "recruiting". We have historically pulled in some very good classes but where we make our hay is on the coaching front. We are not lacking in talent that is for sure but those two other schools are sitting in hotbeds of big time talent... namely in Ohio. They can get more highly kids to commit early. Els is also right. We won't see a lot of kids committing to us unless one they grew up Husker fans or they are from the "500 mile" region. This is about the time of year when those East/West coast kids finally start to be able to get to Lincoln for a visit. Regional kids (Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, etc) it is no problem to visit Lincoln but there are only so many of those kids of a high caliber to do so. We just have to remember to be patient even if it is not easy to do. The class always fills up and it is always top notch. Quote Link to comment
