huskerhill Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Butler. Jan 20th .8650 Jackson Jan 28th .9524 Farniok (probably) week of Jan 25-29 .9055 Sails visit weekend of 29-30 and announce after that. .8653 Fitzpatrick Feb 1stI. .9069 Simmons NSD .8913 Watts NSD .8618 Ivey ???? .8622 Newman ???? .8896 Reese ??? .8669 Average player rating of those ten is .8867. That's higher than our average rating right now and we have a decent rating already. I think it reasonably possible to get 5 out of ten. So, let's assume we get 5 players that are the average in the group. Add 5 players at .8867 to our already rating of .8702 and we have 20 pretty good players. Actually, it would be .8743 which is pretty dang good compared to what it was in 2005 when everything thought we had a fantastic recruiting class. It only had an average player rating of .8523. Mix a few last minute players in and we still have a pretty decent class and we probably will still have a better rating than the 2005 number 5 class in the nation. Edited to add data. I don't think it's apples to apples when comparing it from that long ago. Our current class would be #13 in the 2005 class Quote Link to comment

Still don't think it's as simple as looking back at 2005 and comparing numbers Quote Link to comment

I don't think it's apples to apples when comparing it from that long ago. Our current class would be #13 in the 2005 class True.....the longer you get away from a data point, the less it is relative. However, people still point to that 2005 class and shake their fists claiming there isn't any reason why we shouldn't be pulling in top 10 classes. Well....my point when looking at that is that the 2005 class was greatly helped out by simply having 31 players. That alone will move a class up the rankings. So, I started looking at average player ratings to see how good of players the "experts" think we are getting. My findings make me believe (at least as it pertains to looking at the 2005 class and many since then) we are getting some pretty good players on average. Quote Link to comment
onlyHskrfaninIL Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I hope the coaches have some good contingency plans in place because I have zero confidence in these near-signing day announcements Not sure why. We will not get all of them. But, we should get some of them. Just not sure who. What if they only land 2 of those 10 or so guys you listed. That would leave quite a few spots open wouldn't it? And that's assuming no decommits. Why do you have such a pessimistic view that we are only going to land 2 out of 10? My impression from memory is that we typically dont do that great with these last second announcements. Plus a lot are far from sure things. Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Jared Mayden decommitted from Oregon. He has Nebraska listed, could we at least TRY to just get this guy. Just show some sort of effort to go after some of these highly ranked recruits? Quote Link to comment

That was a bad rap the last staff got. The previous staff really picked it up the last couple years of their tenure IMO. Initially they struggled..... I think that this staff is at least a level or two above the previous staff based on year one. Of course it is hard to predict.....Banker and Hughes are a concern. They seem like decent coaches so far with respect to development, but poor to average recruiters. This is only based on year one with the recruiting class still incomplete. I'm watching recruiting closely. Hoping for a top 25 class! Quote Link to comment

That was a bad rap the last staff got. Perception is an interesting thing. If you look at my latest post in the Comparing Recruiting Classes, you can make a case that Pelini was recruiting better players than Callahan. And it would be a pretty strong argument.

Decked Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 This is either gonna be one of the worst/best end to a recruiting cycle we've seen in a long time. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 This is either gonna be one of the worst/best end to a recruiting cycle we've seen in a long time. Kind of what I was thinking. We are definitely in on some pretty good targets. If we snag a few, it will make a pretty good class. If we miss on most, we'll be scrambling pretty hard. Quote Link to comment

We are not going to miss out on all of our top targets remaining. It's just a matter of how many we get. I don't see our average player rating getting below what we have had the last few years. While I would love improvement from that, those classes weren't bad when compared to other years. I will say that I expect a real roller coaster ride the next few weeks though on this board.
