If nobody is excited about this class. Im not sure what to say. Our golden boy is back to restore our program.
Recruiting class
- Thread starter RedApocolypse
- Start date
We're probably picking up Bivens this weekend too, plus NPG. Then it'll just be a matter of landing MPM, and 1 or 2 others that we're after, and yeah, this class is great.
On Rivals we're already at #16 because a few of our guys got ratings bumps, and on 247 sports we're at 22 (we probably will just barely make it to 19 or 20 there, if we land who we are supposed to land). That means we'll be close to or within the top 15 on Rivals, and in the top 20 on 247 sports. Honestly, with a good coaching staff, that is truly all you need to start making waves and beating top programs. Higher rated classes with more recruits happen later, but for now, landing well within the top 20 is exactly what we should be doing if we think we're going to start winning in Indy and Pasadena, followed by eventually getting to the playoffs.

Wiltfong just put in crystal balls for Parker and Njoku to Nebraska.
I am very impressed with the speed that Frost has flipped this roster. 25 kids last year and what 30 this year plus some incoming transfers unreal job by the coaches. He needed to change the culture and talent level in the program. I do not think he could have done a better job or at least gotten off to a better start. Now we need to win some games to keep it going
I'm excited about this class. I could be more excited if Frost had landed more 4 and 5 star guys. Unfortunately, word on the street is there are too many married women in Nebraska, which tends to turn off top recruits.
After the present Senior class leaves, I count 23 Riley guys on the roster. Assume a couple of departures from this group in order to get to 85 with the oversigns this cycle. Frost will have 75% roster turnover after year 3 and that assumes no additional attrition from the Riley players. Given the number of kids who red shirt, this is really solid work on the roster.
Those 23 will be leading the charge...showing the young folk how things were done back in the day.
