Bo Pelini let the press know that he doesn't think a lot of the recruiting services. He mentioned to talk to him in two years and we'll evaluate this class. That will be after the coaches have time to develop them.
Is he nuts? The recruiting services are the bible for many football fans.
Here's the facts. Only 13 five star players were among the 93 different players that received All-American status. Five star are the players that "can't miss" in college and will succeed in the pros. 50 of the 93 All-Americans were three star or lower. That is more than half.
Here's more! One in 15 five star recruits make All-American status. Also, one in 54 four-star recruits make All-American. So being a four or five star doesn't guarantee greatness.
Good facilities and great coaches make the difference. Coaches develop players. That appears to be a more important factor than almost any other.
Nebraska is in good hands and they feel very confident they recruited a great bunch of players. Now we develop them and they will have to have the character to work hard and reach their full potential.
I like the recruiting services to keep up on who what's going on. It's just their analysis doesn't seem to judge character and the passion for that player to put the team first.
Turner Gill had 18 signees at Kansas. Kansas got two really good receivers in Terry Keeston and Ricki Herod Jr. Out of the 18, eight were from Texas which is not a surprise. Gill is from Texas and recruited there when he was at Buffalo. Defensive and offensive players were divided equally.
72 days until the Red-White game.
The Husker women's basketball team continues to amaze. They knock off a Top 10 team at the Devaney by almost 20 points. Nebraska was up over 30 points a lot of the game. Griffin scores one point per minute played. Yvonne Turner holds Riley to 4-15 shooting. Riley had been averaging 32 points a game in Big 12 play. The Huskers are for real. Can they continue their focus game as game. They have so far!!! Ammazing.
