Yes, and as I've pointed out, both UM and OSU had classes with 1.5 times as many recruits. Factor that in, and again its closer than your numbers would argue. Again, I'm not claiming that our class was as good as yours, but I think we're a solid #3 in the conference, as Rivals has us.

Rivals & 247sports seem to be pretty close on most recruits & rankings. Scout & ESPN seem to be all over the map. I've heard the midwest vs south bias claims before, but I'm also seeing more and more that Rivals is looked at as the most authoritative, with 247sports the up and coming service...

:) Its all good. Didn't realize you were referring to the "buying equity" period, I'll admit. If anyone BELIEVES that Missouri was invited and turned it down - for ANY reason... I have a bridge in San Francisco I want to sell them. :D

Hmm, who's numbers are those? They're way different than Rivals. According to Rivals: OSU 2***** 14**** 9*** Star Ave: 3.72 UM 2***** 10**** 13*** Star Ave: 3.56 Nebr 0***** 6**** 11*** Star Ave: 3.35 In terms of star rankings, OSU was #5, UM #9 and Nebr # 19. While there's no way of...

Hey! My former Buckeye cheerleader wife who used to regularly attend the private parties at Woody's cabin says she wants to know YOUR Buckeye background/qualifications! Double :p right back at'cha!

I don't think its quite so "Big 2, Little 10" as you're claiming. Nebraska had a very low class size this year, due to having a very small senior class. We managed to end up #24 in Rivals rankings and #27 in 247sports (Scouts seems clueless lately in recruiting) even though our class size was...

Thanks, Muck! No, its not. :) I totally agree with the (new) point he's made. I live in a suburb of Dallas, obviously in the HEART of Big XII country. In past years when we were in the Big XII, there was no way to watch all of Nebraska's football games without paying $40 for pay-per-view...

Right, and YOUR argument is "not the point" either, which is the point that the others are making! :wink2: Again, Nebraska has had California recruits in 14 consecutive classes - which would seem to be pretty impossible if YOUR point was THE point. Kyle's point that your point is not the...

Yep, that was first reported last July by Nebraska and was in the news at that time. Of course I may be biased, but to call this a "major violation" is just absurd, I'd say. Here's a Yahoo "Dr. Saturday" blog report from last July...

I can see both sides to this argument. But one major thing which hasn't been mentioned is, the Nebraska coaching staff has spent years developing strong relationships with a number of well-placed high school coaches in Texas. They most certainly will continue to leverage those relationships...

I agree there was some vagueness - but he definitely said "we're doing multi-year" when asked specifically about one year renewable vs. multi-year. I'm betting there IS language providing "outs" if certain obligations aren't met by the student-athlete, and likely those outs are there for all...

I hadn't heard an answer to that, but Bo was just asked that question during his press conference, and answered "we're doing multi-year."

Well, my prediction was pretty darn close, if I say so myself! :) We ended up with a class of 17 recruits, and a team ranking of #24 at Rivals, putting us third in the conference, behind only tOSU and TSUN, both of whom of course had classes half again larger than ours at 25. For our small...

OK, if it turns into a general Wisconsin Badgers thread, surely I'm not the only one who's noticed the family resemblance:

Yes, I think its fair to say that everyone is VERY excited about Armstrong. A lot of talk that he's probably easily the top QB we've gotten in a decade or so. Looking forward to see him develop, there's a lot of talk that he's our future!

It helps immensely to have a Buckeye (cheerleader back when Woody was coach) wife helping me to "understand." :D I'll definitely work on the rest of my Husker friends!

Update: We've gone from 11 to 13 commits - and gone from #38 to #34 in Rivals rankings. I expect us to end at 16, and if we get the 3 we'd like for the final commits, I think we have a reasonable shot of breaking into the top 25 with Rivals - not bad for as small a class as we're able to take...

Just revised the numbers in my signature based on the completed 2011 season. Since Nebraska's 50 year average is currently dropping a year from our down period in the '60s each year, our 50 year percentage went from .785 to .790. tOSU dropped one thousandth, from .756 to .755, but we're still...

We have a small number of scholarships this year, due to a small senior class. Only 15-16 scholarships available, so that will definitely limit how well our class grades out by Rivals/Scouts - we just won't be signing enough recruits to be in the top 20 (currently 37th on Rivals.) Of that...

This... I've really appreciated the reception I (and other Husker fans) have gotten here on BP. But it requires that you exhibit classy behavior if you want to be treated with class! That statement from HuskerFromOhio was the epitome of LOW class.
