Attracting athletes

The whole state is not putting out very many D1 players. That has hurt the program.

Our walk on program is not the same as it once was either. All of those kids from Humboldt, Grand Island and many other towns that aren't Omaha and Lincoln no longer have the presence they once did in terms of key contributors. It's sad but I guess it's reality.

I think it boils down to the players liking the people who are recruiting them for starters, their potential coaches in other words. I think that and all the program and school has to offer them truly trumps what particular city the school might be in.

Our walk on program isn't the same as it once was because of nothing more than economics. The kids from the places you mention now opt to play for Kearney, Chadron, etc. on scholarship rather than racking up several thousands in student loans by walking on at UNL. As college tuition and fees continue to rise much faster than inflation, this will continue. I don't think it has anything to do with ill will against Bo or his staff.

 
Do we have any starters from Omaha? How about from Nebraska in general? I would guess deep down the depth chart there must be a good amount though.

Taco Johns used to be awesome, but I think they changed something with their taco meat. I think they use cat food now or something. Their breakfast burritos are good. Amigos has always been awful.

D'Leon's at 2 am is about the only thing I miss about Lincoln. Was craving a #18 the other night.

 
I believe I've only been to Amigos while drunk as hell. So I couldn't tell you if the food is of good quality or not.

 
In the words of Mike'l Severe "show them the big booty white girls". This is the key to restoring the program, gentlemen.

 
I love how this thread went from figuring out how to moving the program to Omaha in order to attract athletes to talking about Mexican fast food. You would think Carl Pelini started this thread.
