Saw this on another blog. Never knew all of this. Does change that I hate 2-4 but might be some of it?

Recruiting rankings from 2011-2015.

Florida is fielding players from #12, #3, #4, #8, and #23 ranked recruiting classes.

Michigan is fielding players from #21, #7, #5, #31, and #50 ranked recruiting classes.

Nebraska is fielding players from #15, #25, #17, #32 and #31

The difference is that Nebraskas best class provides us with some redshirt seniors this year. However, of the stars in that class, Aaron Green transferred to TCU, Bubba Starling never enrolled opting to collect a $7 million check to play pro baseball, Mauro Bondi transferred to Hawaii, Ryan Klachko transferred to Illinois, Tyler Moore transferred to Florida, Todd Pete Jr transferred to a junior college, and finally Max Pirman and David Santos were kicked off the team.

The only players seeing the field from that class of seniors are:

Taariq Allen

Daniel Davie

Givens Price played one snap against South Alabama

Ryne Reeves

Zach Sterup saw snaps yesterday in place of injured Nick Gates

David Sutton was hurt against BYU and wont be back until late november

Jamal Turner

Kevin Williams

I found this incredibly interesting so I looked up who the star players were that made up the other top 20 class to see who was still on the team.

Randy Gregory (left for the NFL)

Johnny Stanton (transferred to a juco)

Kevin Gladney (dismissed from the team)

Courtney Love (transferred to Kentucky)

Greg Hart (transferred to Kentucky)

Drake Martinez (transferred to Michigan State)

Earnest Suttles (dismissed from team and playing at Memphis)

also in that class currently in the program and getting significant time on the field:

Josh Banderas (out due to injury)

Kevin Maurice (out due to injury)

Kevin Williams (out due to injury)

So before you go spouting off about how easy Jim Harbaugh and Jim McElwain are making it look, just remember what Bo Pelini put in the cupboard.

Ill take 4 losses by a total of 11 points over watching double digit losses to Ohio State (25), Wisconsin (31, 39, and 35), Iowa (21), Missouri (35), UCLA (20), Michigan State (13), Oklahoma (34), Minnesota (11), Georgia (14), South Carolina (17), Washington (12), Texas Tech (21), and Michigan (28) any day.

Yet another troll job. You should take up knitting.

A relevant stat would be that one someone floated around the other day about ~38%(?) of Bo's recruits no longer being with the program.

If that is true, then holy good gracias that is awful. My perspective will then be changed for the rest of the season. Especially given how many injuries we have.

it may not be exactly that but its in the vicinity. Yes. Its bad. But there are ppl that dont want to analyze circumstances. That would require thinking. Simply losing is enough for them. This is not defending Riley or slamming Bo. Its just the situation. A factual situation.

Right, it doesn't change the decision in the Illinois game...but considering we could possibly be 6-0 at this point really makes me feel better. Considering there is an actual number put to the "cupboard" now.

 
Screw circumstances! This is Nebraska, where we eat 9 win seasons for breakfast and crap out conference championships!

I looked it up. Credit to AFHusker in another thread... 34 of 87 guys (39%) of recruits since 2011 are no longer playing for us.

Having that as your baseline and sprinkling in the injuries we've seen so far... I don't envy the coaches.

Haha! That seems somewhat out of context.

Look, it's not going to take forever to turn this around if this staff is up to the task. (We don't know).

As far as where we are as a program this year, that has a lot to do with where the last staff left it. As well as a lot to do with the new work this staff is putting in. (We don't know either, and opinions vary).

 
And yeah, the Illinois loss is definitely the most unforgivable. But I don't think that's necessarily indicative of decision making moving forward. They definitely learned their lesson, going ultra conservative Saturday. They got burnt again this time. Let's hope they learn to be smart AND aggressive in that situation moving forward.

If that loss had to happen, at least it was during THIS season while we transition than down the road.

Remind me what part of the Illinois loss was "unforgivable." Was it the 3rd & 7 playcall?

I'd like to see a list of all the signees since 2011 along with a "where are they now." Even the ones that stayed, many players have never seen the field. Maybe I'll look into that.

That's the general consensus I believe. I mean, taking a knee would have been better....unless the original call worked. Ha!
