They still managed to beat us out for Graham, Lenoir. Pretty sure the scoreboard isn't as big of a deal as you think it might've been. 7 Quote Link to comment
spurs1990 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 It is if they put up a similar number in the second half as the first. At the time of the post we were in the midst of a 42-14 first half beat down. You think those kids really even give us a look last year if Oregon wins by 30? No? Didn't think so. Luckily it's irrelevant and we made it a game in the second half. Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I think a team's performance in one away game falls far behind a number of things when it comes to what is important to them during recruiting. It would actually be an interesting question to ask a Senior. For me it would be (not necessarily in this order): Coaches Position coach Facilities Support (academic and after football) Current roster at position Team potential for 2-3 years out. Location. If I see a team that has strong coaching, facilities etc, and I'm as confident in my skills as these guys are, I actually look at the spot where I think I can get on the field faster, where I can be the guy that helps turn around a program (vs. the one that joins one on the downturn), where I can make the most out of my skills to get into the NFL or where I can get the best degree to use after FB. As long as it's not a losing record program I don't give a hoot what the numbers are. Now if the team was getting beat by 6-7 teams a year, or if they're losing big time to programs like Miami of Ohio or Baylor then I'd be worried. Playing a top school tough at their home stadium wouldn't make me bat an eye. Quote Link to comment

Playing a top school tough at their home stadium wouldn't make me bat an eye. Again my comment wasn't about the close contests. Mine was during the portion of the game where we were getting run off the field. I think those horrific losses are enough to make recruits reconsider. Luckily we made it so the game wasn't an embarrassment on the scoreboard in the end. Close ones like last year and in the end this year like some have said don't probably play a deciding factor. I like the list you made though. Quote Link to comment
NM11046 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Totally get your view spurs, I was responding more to those who aren't as nuanced in their views. And there are a $hit-ton of them here. Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Maybe he wanted to be at the game to see Nebraska's grit and comeback. He probably knew it was a great atmosphere. It's gotta impress a kid when a school half way across the country travels fans that fill 1/3 of a stadium. That screams support. That screams you have everything you need to succeed. He's gotta look at some of those balls that sailed over our 5'9" WR'd and think, man I could have made that catch and helped them win the game. Quote Link to comment

Yeah - thats more in line with how I interpreted his post. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Word is he's still really interested in the Huskers but hasn't heard from the new staff yet. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hopefully he will hear from them soon. I like what I see in him, and if he is a guy that really wants to be here, that means more than most anything else. Just as Frost said, he wants players that will bleed Husker red when they are on the field. Quote Link to comment
southernoregonhusker Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Has Oregon State as his #1. Slight edge over Oregon. UNL still in his Top 4. 1 Quote Link to comment
