Worst Recruiting Class in Husker History

[Mavric]

Quote

The worst recruiting class in Nebraska football history signed in the first year of a new millennium: 2000. 

 

...

 

You can’t evaluate recruiting classes by results only. A recruiting class becomes great largely because of the instruction it receives. Clearly Nebraska’s player development machine had dipped in the early ‘00s. And clearly it didn’t help the class of 2000 when Bill Callahan overhauled the system before their redshirt senior seasons.

 

But here’s the bottom line: Not one player from the class of 2000 earned first-team all-conference honors. That’s unprecedented in Husker history. Only T.J. Hollowell played in the NFL.

 

OWH

 

 

Rivals doesn't go back far enough to show the class.  247 has it but not really rankings.

Eichorst: "Hey Mike, it turns out our 2017 class may not have been the worst in Nebraska history."

 

 

Riley:

That recruiting class had more convicted murderers than it did first team conference selections. So we've got that going for us.

@B.B. Hemingway I just noticed your profile pic is the cover of Tyler Childers, Purgatory album. I'm digging your taste in music!

Who could be bothered to put together a good recruiting class, there were more important issues like Y2K to deal with.

I was in Silicon Valley at a startup during Y2K. We knew it was all a hoax. There were a ton of "businesses" that would make your company "Y2K Compliant" and we were like, we are in the wrong line of work here, boys.  Those folks made a lot of money off of suckers.

FWIW, PrepStar had the 2000 class ranked #12, and Wallace had it ranked #15.

I believe "worst" was for on field performance

I understand that, just adding context.
