I never said anything contrary to that. All I said was half of the team were Nebraska kids. More than most major colleges except Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas schools. It was just unique and a great tradition to see young men come from a state of 1.5 million and compete. Fewer poeple than the suburbs of Dallas. That was a tradition!!!! Callahan will and is changing that. NU will be like UW, 3/4 from Cal. NJ.Fl. and other states with few if any instate recruits.
I never said no great atheletes came from outstate. Just Recruiting instate and having them excel was a TRADITION! Now gone or soon to be gone!
