I guess that goes against the idea that we're being very selective.
We’re Number 1!
We’re Number 1! :Cool:
You sound like an Iowa fan. They’re completely obsessed with Nebraskas offers..
since we joined the Big Ten we have never had a recruiting class ranked behind any big ten west program
Bingo. Once we get some development we’ll more than likely see it pay off.
Maybe Iowa outta try something new, because right now all an offer from Iowa means is going 7-5. Throw some more offers out there because they can develop. 4* at Iowa is something I hope to never see.
Not really. Nebraska and the Midwest in general does not have a ton of close proximity talent. So Frost and Co are trying to "cast a wide net" so to speak. To basically say, "hey we are interested in learning more , are you interested as well" Many recruiting experts say that kids will not take a visit to a school without an offer.
Just because Nebraska has offered a kid doesn't mean Nebraska automatically has to take them. Held I believe explained it better. He said there are very small % of kids with offers who are labeled as a top priority. Those kids can commit at any time they want, and Nebraska would take them. For the vast majority of other offers the coaching staff needs to dig deeper into them and see if they would be a good fit and if they are someone they really want on the team. So basically we are not being very selective with offers. They become selective later on. Look at it from a job/ interview stand point. An employer may look through hundreds of applications. They will then sort them into a pile of maybe 50 who fit a general criteria. From those 50 they will start to dig deeper and look more closely. To eventually narrow down to a few top applicants they really want.

And you get 40th and higher ranked classes. Bravo!
This ^. A recent story discussed how part of the strategy is figuring out who could make unofficial visits, which have become very important as many kids understandably want to see a school more than once before committing.
Kids from far away aren’t going to make unofficial visits w/o an offer. And the offered prospects who will visit is still small, hence the need for the wide net. Geography is a driving factor.
Once the program starts dominating again (wink) I’m sure the offer list will shrink some.
Shoot, you blew my cover. Should have known better than to comment about recruiting offers in a recruiting thread.
Yes they are. There are a many of them that love the opportunity at some virtue signaling on behalf of the Iowa program. It's hilarious.
The offer count doesn't have anything to do with selectivity. Different programs have different strategies for building their pool of players to choose from. The offer count thing is an enormous straw man that some programs like to use as a way to say, "hey, when we offer, we mean it". They are just different strategies in play to try to accumulate the best recruiting class and program fit possible.
It's May 10th.
Nebraska has a top ranked 2020 Bball class, just saying.
It's completely meaningless right now.
They will lose 15 scholarship players after the 2019 season. I would imagine, there will be a few more stragglers who turnover as well. They might be able to stretch it up to 20, but the class will still be smaller than usual.
Maybe you should start a thread on Iowa recruiting. That’s something that’s been missing on here.
OWH's scholarship distribution chart shows 15 seniors and 81/85 spots filled. Would think that at least Hixson gets one of those, so 18 spots are open. It's possible that a couple of 4th year juniors move on in addition to a couple of younger guys failing to thrive once they get here. I would say 20-22 spots for next year.
I think you are close to 100% correct on this. They talked/addressed this on sports nightly recently. They said that NU is treating offers as a way to open the communication. An offer doesn't mean it's a"committable offer" unless it's the guy at the top of the list of that particular position.
Really, life is so boring that using His name in that context actually provides those things for you? It is offensive to many.
Who GAF, and no they don't. 0 commits for the 2020 class. Damn facts.

Snappy come back. You had five hours, and that’s the best you could do? Oh that’s right… Iowa. Say no more.
He meant to say that word out of Iowa City is that they will have a top ranked class in 2020.
They’re just really selective in who they offer and accept...
If I were telling you this in person then I wouldn’t be able to hold a straight face...
Mighty, mighty Iowa..lol
