I mean...that is what sports boards are for and what we have done on here forever...But NOW they are bored of it?
They mentioned on the pod that Iowa had like 8 players invited which was the standard for the top half. Northwestern had 3 invited for perspective. Ugh.

I have officially accepted we aren’t special. We are literally Rutgers, Northwestern, Purdue. I have zero optimism in the off season. I am in full W/L during the season. it would be awesome if we could pull a nebrasketball. Agree with an earlier poster - maybe the lack of interest and pressure and low expectations will actually be a good thing and they come out and kick ***.
oh well.
Frosts teams were more talented than Rhule’s have been to date
We have multiple threads of different people saying the exact same thing. Then the responses to that are exactly the same.
Just because he was better than Riley, Frost and Rhule doesn't mean he was a good recruiter.
Yes. I mean, just look at this thread. Everything is being rehashed.
I think you are right about the recruiting part, especially how big of a deal HS recruiting used to be compared to now.
Class ranking since joining the B1G:
The dorky fans that were scared of Bo pushed the the "he is a bad recruiter" thing so hard that even stats won't change their mind.
Bo was a good coach. Matt is neither a good recruiter or a good coach. He just knows whose arse to kiss to get paid. We’ve all worked with that person, that gets promoted but is awful at their job. That’s Matt
Give them a little more time.. heh. They are 1-3 in the last 4. ... and i know, I jinxed them when I tuned into the Michigan and Illinois games. I didn't watch any of the Purdue game but I did see them warming up and I quickly changed the channel. Good luck to them i guess.
Well, obviously I'm not gonna watch since we lost the only two games I started watching (and the 1 where I saw them warming up). I hope they do well though.
The stats showed he was our best recruiter since joining this conference. He could recruit and develop. His teams just couldn’t win when it mattered most.Maybe he couldn’t recruit but could develop
That doesn't show he was a good recruiter. Just better than 3 other duds. It's like being the tallest midget.
I think he was a decent dc, especially with his db coach that got canned...same thing could be said about white....
To me it was frosts 3rd year I knew Deep down that frost was not going to the right guy i had to endure and year and 3 games. For some reason I still believe Rhule will turn things around. On paper it looks like a daunting schedule but the games still have to be played, maybe Indiana won’t hit the jackpot with their quarterback transfer this time. Now if Nebraska goes 4-8 Rhule needs to go and I’ll donate kongs retirement to help with the buyout
He will be saying “look at our ‘27 class” - he will parlay that to 2031
Average at best, if bo was any good he’d still be coaching. Once he ran out of Nebraska players that transferred to Youngstown st he sucked. And Bo admitted he didn’t like to recruit
I agree with all of this. Especially the part about Rhule playing the PSU card last year. Made me want to puke. I live in Pennsylvania. Surrounded by PSU fans. NOT ONE of the hundreds I ran across wanted Rhule. If PSU had hired Rhule PSU fans would have rioted and burned down Beaver Stadium. Here is the reality of it all: Matt Rhule was NEVER going to be hired by PSU and he was NEVER a serious candidate. And Rhule knew that. But he played up the fact that the AD was an old friend and made it seem like it was really possible.
I think you are right.
No one likes to recruit.
Some of yall have a fetish for midgets.
I think it will be that game vs Ohio U. If that game is a loss or even some lame *** close win...he is done.
His recruiting didn’t come close to Callahan’s recruiting. Even though he probably recruited better players than Riley, Frost and Rhule, that’s not saying much.
Callahan recruited so well he went 27-22. Bravo.
