NU based on name and resources is top 25 always, with ease. One they get near that top 15, that is when things should really change. Matt did a nice job with this class.
This year's recruiting class is amazing when you consider that this is our 7th straight losing season and 8th out of the last 9. The ability of Rhule and staff to recruit top talent despite our recent record is a testimony to their recruiting abilities.
Honestly the world obviously has changed with the portal and initial recruiting class ranking has become a LOT less meaningful than in the old days. It's now only a point in time snap shot on signing day. But the reality is that a huge number of highly ranked high school kids will eventually transfer to a different school at some point meaning those signing day rankings are a poor indicator of future on field team performance.And I hope we move it onto the field!!!
The services now have a way to look at both transfers and high school recruits combined. Much more accurate than just looking at recruits in today's world. But, yeah, your point stands that it's still just a snapshot. Portal is still open and something like 8 of the top 25 players haven't even committed yet, as an example.
Going back to Pelini, classes have been well regarded with the exception of a couple of years. Too much of recruited talent failed in development or left. Certainly the level of recruiting has not been in line with the win/loss record.
Raiola is a big get and hopefully the Oline can take another step and keep him upright, Brix is also an important add. I wonder if he’s good enough to play right away.
