For all the we can’t recruit outside LB posts I’ve seen the past 2 years..I hope they are equally excited about Kaden Johnson and gunnerson.
So you think we just lost in recruiting? It’s is possible but we will never know..may get a better idea when this class closes. The visit doesn’t move me..Remember we must visit all possible signings to lline up plan a,b,c.
Right, not sure what the right answer is but it’s like a game of musical chairs. Can’t speak for the past but frost has not done well with recruits that go to the wire?
The answer is to stop having losing seasons. But that is a catch 22. You need these guys precisely to avoid losing seasons. But they don’t want to come here because of our losing seasons (at least in part). So we have to get really solid plan B guys and coach them up and get them into a sound system. That is what Wisconsin and Iowa do year after year.
You do both to the extent you can. The reality is we will have to build slowly. Get enough decent recruits to win the West most years, then build from there back to elite status.
DeWitt has been off the recruiting trail due to his illness AND his future might be a little uncertain in some kids' eyes. He'll probably be fine going forward but some kids don't want to have to deal with the C word with a coach. That hurts and no doubt it has been used against us in recruiting. It's a dirty business. The other obvious thing that has to hurt is how poor some of our LB play has been. IMO, that's partly due to new scheme, coaches and inferior talent but that hurts. I will say our LBers played much better the last 3 games this year as if they were finally figuring things out. Better safety play would help the linebackers look better too. IMO, the whole deal will look better when we're playing guys who have been in the system with the same coach for 2-3 years.
Sounds totally realistic. That's pretty much where we are at as a program. To get the very good kids, we have to hope that we can out recruit our peers and then also hope that one of the power teams don't show interest. Isaiah Simmons was ready to sign with us, a great athlete living only 200 miles from Lincoln. Clemson jumps in and gives him the time of day (and a scholarship offer), and all NU heard was "buh bye".
who the heck names their kid Demon?
And teams like Ohio State and LSU already have guys like that lined up on their roster to fill in for the guys who go to the draft. People trying to judge Frost as a coach based on how those teams look with top 10 recruiting classes for the past 5 years are off their rocker. I know recruiting is part of the job but those teams have built their brand for years and all we've done is sh## on ours for the 10 years prior to hiring Frost.one things for sure...I’d take those LB recruits and make them ours in a heart beat. Man that would be nice to add those guys to our roster
