Nebfanatic Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Frost successfully kept the talent train right on track when it was looking like we may fall behind after MR was fired. Great job bringing this class together Quote Link to comment

I think we have now a terrific core of players, from '15, '16 and '17 classes, from which to build. We're probably not ever going to be able to recruit at the level of Alabama or Ohio State consistently. But as long as we're in the top 20, and get great coaching, I think we'll be fine. The skill players on offense in this class are on paper outstanding. Our lineman recruits on both sides of the ball I think are drastically under-rated. For example, DT Deontre Thomas just might be the stud of this class. Mike Riley has proven we wants to win, and win at an elite level. I think it'll happen. The last sentence in this post is so funny to read a year later. Edited February 8, 2018 by ColoradoHusk 5 Quote Link to comment
r06ue1 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) I'm predicting next year Frost pulls in 10+ 4* athletes (Rivals, this year we had 9 according to them) and the class either gets very close or exceeds a .9 rating. And one 5* recruit. Edited February 8, 2018 by r06ue1 Quote Link to comment
bugeater17 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think we have to set our goals to consistently be above the .88 average rating. That should be be our goal every year. (I do understand there may be some players Frost targets that he believes fit his system which may drag it down) Quote Link to comment
HS_Coach_C Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 2019 may be an exception with some highly rated in-state guys, but for the most part, Nebraska kids are going to drag the average down. Frost has said multiple times he wants to keep Nebraska guys home, and maybe he'll do it mostly with the walk-on program, but the guys that deserve scholarships are still rarely going to be above a 3-star average. I see no problem with this unless your goal is to get highly ranked classes. Give scholarships out to the ones that deserve it, try to get a bunch of walk-ons, and then go get the best players you can from anywhere in the country. 500-mile radius is fine, but recruiting hotbeds where the coaches have ties works just fine too.

Redux Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) I don't doubt one bit that Mike Riley wanted to win and win at an elite level. He just showed that he couldn't surround himself with a staff that would allow him to do it. Or hold his players to a regimine that would allow them to do that. Or gameplan and make adjustments that would result in it. Or.... Edited February 10, 2018 by Redux 4 Quote Link to comment

Decked Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 2017 sure turned out to be a bust of a class already 2 Quote Link to comment
