it's a numbers game though. why do you think people have issues w/ the SEC oversigning? the more kids you get into the door - the higher likelyhood of producing a star player. If we're signing 15 a year, and they are signing 30...they going to field twice as many stars as we are.This is actually a much better way to look at recruiting when class sizes differ. What is the quality of the players each team got, not the quantity which at times is hard to manage depending on many factors.FWIW, Nebraska is ranked 9th in the country in terms of average stars on rivals. Quality over quantity.
this is where Bo's recruiting style hasn't quite worked itself out IMO. Bo redshirted all but 3 of the freshman from his 2008 class of 28 (a few of them where JUCOs). That means that he signed aroudn 25 true freshmen, and 22 took up a scholarship for a year without producing. 17 of those guys are still on the roster as juniors. 3-4 of them should be seniors in a normal world. Once Bo's style of redshirting begins to work itself through the system you'll see larger senior classes. Hopefully redshirting leads to a more mature and seasoned team. Bo lost almost an entire year of recruiting w/ the change in styles. Now, the problem comes back into play if during a year he plays a larger class as freshman. He can't swing back and forth like he has been inclined to do. I think he's paying for his 08' decision still. Roster management is HUGE.
