The percentage of your scholarship players that are 4 or 5* recruits

No team in more than a decade has won a title with a ratio < 50% according to the linked article

In 2017 we were at 19%

OSU, Michigan and PSU all are 50%+ this year

Good for them but we are not expecting a title this year. If we get better and start winning the west and winning the Big10 then yes I expect us to recruit better

What deeper point are you trying to make? That so far Frost sucks at recruiting?
No, I think it's just to show how far we are behind the elite teams in terms of raw talent. It doesn't even include last year's class, the linked article is from the 2017 season preview.

No ... a bit to the contrary. Frost inherited a roster that was at 19%. As NikkiSixx pointed out above last years class was an improvement at 36%.

I just posted an article that I thought was interesting as I hadn’t heard of the ratio before.

I just posted an article that I thought was interesting as I hadn’t heard of the ratio before. You, however, seemed to infer a more nefarious motive.
No. Not imputing nefarious motive. Just wondering what the point was. You have clarified your point. Thanks.
Oh... and I agree

I think I said this on the paid board earlier, drunk, ready for bed...

This is the "new narrative" for folks who don't really understand The Nebraska Way.

Newbies, younger generation relying on stats, charts, and ********.

Well there you have it @jlb321. You don’t understand the Nebraska way. Thanks for playing. You can collect your contestant prize package backstage.
