Total listing of signed players in this Class

HS signing day really isn't like it used to be and really there is not a huge need for it like in the past.
I would rather get a 21 year old guy that has had 2-3 years in a college program, lifting, school, eating, meetings and so on...
They are still counting QB Tanner Vibabul as a commit, he bailed for JMU, so only 11 total.
Our coach is just biding his time till he gets fired and paid. Results speak volumes. Our AD should be investigated for fraud
now do average rank by recruit.
He's doing just enough so they can't fire him for cause. What a joke.
Good...HS kids are a waste of time unless they are elite. Spend d that money on the portal
The CB and DT were the only players of need from this class for next year.
Makes it a great class to me.

Yep!
There is generally a huge difference from a 300 pound 18 year old and a 300 pound 21 year old that has been lifting in a college weight room and eating at a training table.
Go get ready made guys.
Now, back in the day, faxing in the LOI and all that, it was ******* cool!
No, I clearly don’t. It’s an unusually small class. It’s an unusually low ranked class. Those are facts, not narratives. Perhaps you have a tendency to confuse the two?
Well, I could be wrong, but I believe it was an old old wooden ship used in the Civil War era.
Are there any reasons why this is a small class? And it’s a low ranked class because it’s so small not because they’re not good prospects.
Of course there are reasons. What those reasons are seems to be the question. Especially when we were told that money isn’t the issue. Generally speaking, when you’re talking about one high school and one transfer class in a given year, when one is small/weak, you hope that it’s offset by by one that’s big and strong. Pretty straight forward stuff here. It ain’t rocket science.
I think the players brought in through both avenues are good looking prospects that fill needs. Younger team means fewer recruits. I guess you feel differently?
No, the #37 transfer class and the #84 recruiting class combined to make up the #70 overall class is not good enough. Not even close. And anyone being even remotely objective knows this. It’s not even a matter of opinion.
Rhule signing fewer high schoolers than Deion in a given year probably wasn’t on many bingo cards
One day closer to the ‘28 season!
..even deion signed a whole 15. I remember when we used to make fun of him for his small high school classes.
I get it. Just stated that for how different it is now. Although 12 Hs recruits and being the least in the power 4. Head scratcher. He should sign as many as he can and hire an actual talent evaluator to watch them practice and create the depth chart. His evaluations suck
I would imagine it matters a lot of what you already have on the roster. Nebraska brought in 27 new players, some will fill holes, some will compete for playing time and some will hopefully be developed. Outside of Raiola and Davis, the remainder of the 17 players that left were either not playing regularly because of talent or they were injured.
You two can put a bullsh*t spin on anything, can’t you? Number 70 overall class and you’ve actually convinced yourselves that’s a good thing. Wow
If you come into this hating Rhule or trying to be positive no matter what, you’re going to skew reality around it, cognitive bias.
Reality is this class was/is a smaller class that isn’t ranked high (whether that matters will be seen over the next few years if the staff remains consistent).
However, with 3 years of data on MR we can see little development, a lot of staff turnover, average to less than average results.
There is little to be excited about for next season. Rhule is on the hot seat. Let’s see what he’s got because a losing season next year will probably get him fired, despite his massive contract

Small classes equals low ranking.
Small minds regurgitate what the masses say.
Since nobody wanted to answer it, the answer is 34th.
The small class and the rankings are not the real story. The real story is our large number of underclassmen. Can any of them contribute? Are they being developed into B1G grade players? If they are, why do we need the number of portal guys we signed? Has anybody taken a look at the S & C program? Is it producing the results we need? A small class is no big deal if you already have the horses you need in the barn. By year four you should have some real "dudes" coming up to help you win. You should have a depth chart that is 2-3 deep with players you know you can count on. Honestly I do not know how close/far we are from that.
No one said it was a good thing. It is just the facts. A lot of young players a team is ready to give up on yet. 70th ranked or whatever, 1/3 of the high school class are top 247 players, who will be getting snaps this year.
Luckily for Nebraska the whole team will get to determine the outcomes of games and not just th 27 players in this class.
That's where I’m at. Show me that the last two O and D line classes are being developed and can play. We have enough dudes. Make it work with what we have now. I think the depth chart of “2-3 deep that you can count on” isn’t probably realistic. Show us that we can field a good O line and not drop off much if you lose A guy. Show us the same for a D line where you can rotate D linemen and not notice much who is in the game.
So much for Rhules comment about having the financials to sign anybody they want. Gonna be along 2 years until he is gone
It is widely reported that Nebraska was on par with most everyone they went against in the recruitment of players. Verghese stated this several times over the course of the portal period. Other factors contributed to those players going elsewhere. These players don't have to pick Nebraska even if the financial offers were equal.
