losing recruits to Michigan?

What does Michigan offer that Nebraska doesn't?

Nebraska seems like the obvious choice for these kids but young kids do dumb sh#t all the time. Committing to Michigan would just go on the list of dumb stuff to do. It won't be the last mistake they ever make.

Gonna be tough for Michigan to ever even sniff a conference championship game.

By the way, why do they even list that Rueben Jones kid as a Husker commit. From that comment in the article it seems pretty clear he's deciding between Louisville or Michigan? Any answer to that?

I asked this one day and I opened myself up to a sh#tstorm of rhetoric, blind perception, and population bullsh#t. And that's pretty much all it was. It was laughable to the point that I was speechless and walked away. Nothing anyone said answered my question.

 
Michigan has just as much to offer as Nebraska as far as tradition, support, etc goes. They have a bigger name coach, which doesn't mean better, but it's a recruiting draw. They're also one of the best public universities in the country and Ann Arbor probably has bigger draw than Lincoln.

It isn't a huge stretch to think that Michigan will reassert themselves quickly under Harbaugh. Hoke was a bad coach, not a bad recruiter. Nebraska has a culture hurdle to cross before it can move forward (thanks, Bo) and this team has not been left in great shape. How many of you are solid about what we have at quarterback right now? That's not to mention potential serious problem spots at LB and DE that the new staff is inheriting.

Sorry, didn't mean to be such a downer there. The sky isn't falling here by a long shot, but Michigan is a formidable opponent in any recruiting battle.

Michigan has better academics but I doubt many football players go by that.

I don't think you're being an downer but I do think you're being an realist.

I'll plus 1 this. It's a reasonable answer. Thanks.

There's a lot of similarities between the situations of the two schools really. I'd give Nebraska the edge as far as who I think takes the next step quicker.

this is a good post. But me personally I still dont see where it answers my question of what does Michigan have to offer that we dont in a big picture.

I'm not tryin to find a way to say Nebraska has something to offer that Michigan doesnt. I think the two are pretty damn equal. But it just feels like there's this perception natianally that compariing Nebraska to Michigan is like comparing Nebraska to say Florida or USC in the recruiting front right now. And to me when you look at some recruiting disadvantage perceptions such as weather, midwest, Big10, and so on, Michigan isnt free from those kinda things either.

So it's not really about being better but being equal. And I still dont see where an opportunity at Michigan blows out of the water an opportunity at Nebraska.
