105 makes a difference though in terms of attractiveness of high school recruits vs transfers. I think 105 actually makes high school recruiting more attractive again as there's a bit of room to have development guys on scholly.
Yeah, I think people are freaking out because of the walk-on program getting cut without thinking about how we are actually adding 20 scholarship players.
The main thing I see is that redshirts are detrimental for the most part. You are basically just preserving a year and wasting a roster spot for a player to potentially transfer as soon as they get good. Should be rare for non-lineman or qbs.
Risk reward dichotomy has flipped with respect to redshirting players. Developing players only to have other teams (your opponents) benefit from your hard work. Of course we’ll bring in guys other coaches/teams have developed, but the incentive to redshirt has been significantly reduced. We can bring in guys other teams have developed, but let’s try not to develop players for other teams.
That’s nice, but since joining the B1G, we have consistently had higher recruits than most teams and we still lose 2 to 1. I’ll wait to see how they are coached and developed…
No, with the portal and 105 coaches will be quickr to cut and players will be quicker to leave. Portal will always be busier,
However joel klatt alluded to changes coming to the portal and nil. I hope so.
Just a feeling or do you have something to back that up? Just checked Rivals records and this year they had 9 pages of 4-Star recruits. In 2002, the earliest year they provide? 9 pages of 4-Star Recruits.
Nothing whatsoever to back it up...and I'm not going to take the time to research it, but I would be interested in the numbers.
Just dug into it. Same amount of 4-stars in 2002, at least the pages of them. Too lazy to hand count. Skipped to 2010 and it was 8 pages of 4-stars vs 9 pages now.
the extra scholarships might translate in to an extra spot or two for local kids
I guess I don't get it. Maybe I'm reading it wrong?!
Edit: Oh ****- you goofs are actually letting that fallacy determine your optimism?
I'll let you know something, and go ahead and set a calendar reminder in December of 2027.
Half these f tards are not going to be a Nebraska player in 2 years. The best 2 will stay here, 6 of the middle 10 will be gone, and the bottom half will barely make it.
Lock it in, get the tattoo, college football is borderline ruined.

Rivals.com, a prominent college football recruiting website, has been ranking high school football prospects since 2002. Over the past two decades, the number of four-star recruits has varied annually, reflecting changes in recruiting trends and the expansion of the recruiting landscape.
While specific year-by-year data for four-star recruits is not readily available, it's evident that the number has increased over time. This growth is partly due to the expansion of recruiting services and the increasing number of high school athletes participating in football.
For detailed statistics on four-star recruits by year, you may consider reaching out directly to Rivals.com or exploring their archives, as they may provide comprehensive data on recruiting classes and player ratings.
The data is readily available, not sure why AI can't analyze it. Here is the search I used on rivals to find the number of 4 stars.
Doing a little more digging the number of recruits on Rivals in 2002 total was 3677. The total in 2009 was 8883. In 2025 it hit a cap of 10k so we know the real number is well beyond that. So if anything the number of 4 stars per 1k recruits is much much lower today than it was back in the day.

This is how we win the off-season national championship. Just like every other year.
The numbers are shocking. I have not seen the most recent figures but in 2022 Sports Illustrated found that a staggering 41% of transfers had either:
• not found a new school
• are still looking
• transferred to a non-NCAA school; or
• left their sport completely.
i would be mildly shocked if those figures have changed substantially.
