RedDenver Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Don't bother reading the article. Step 1 includes the following misinformation: "This has always been an important part of Nebraska's path to building great football teams as the Osborne-era teams regularly benefitted from county walk-on scholarships that allowed them to add solid players from their home state who grew up learning Osborne's offensive schemes at their high schools." Anyone who thinks that county scholarships were real does not need to be taken seriously. Quote Link to comment

RedSavage Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 In the 3 year cycle... 2011, 2012 and 2013... the previous coaching staff signed 22 elite athletes (4 and 5 star players). In 2011 we signed 11 elite players. Those players have made up this years (2015) and next years (2016) teams. Those players will be gone at the end of next year. In the latest 3 year cycle... 2014, 2015 and 2016 (2015 and 2016 are Rileys classes) we have signed only 13 elite athletes (4 and 5 star players) for the combined 3 years. That is around a 40% reduction in elite players recruited in the last 3 years. No team can have a 40% reduction in elite players on their team and expect better results. Sad to say... after next year (2016) we will have a distinct lowering of athletic talent on our team. Our problems are only going to intensify. GBR You honestly think with the way we ended this past season and with our recent recruiting class that things are going to be worse in 2017? I would say no at the current time but I think Riley's off to a very solid start Quote Link to comment

Decked Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 We need to build a line on both sides of the ball first before we do anything so I'll say no. 2 Quote Link to comment

You do realize that the roster isn't updated in real time, right? Banker or Hughes said that Carlos Davis was up to 296. I think he's put on the weight he's needed. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I will say that this class is a good start towards building a championship team. The coaches need to build more depth and address the o-line and d-line issues. POB will need to be a stud QB for the class to be truly successful. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 One of the biggest problems I have seen we have had is the recruits that are supposed to be our best recruits, so often have not panned out. That is at least true when you look at the 2011 class. It doesn't matter if you recruit 4* players if they don't make it past their 1st year or don't make it to campus at all. We need to turn that around. Quote Link to comment
