*** 2017 Recruiting ***

What is this about?

Emojis make twitter practically unintelligible. I thought humanity decided hieroglyphics was a bad idea over 2000 years ago. Even if I know what each emoji stands for, this tweet reads:

<thinking face><thought balloon><Flag of American Samoa> --> <ear of maize>

Even those of you versed in emojis can only take an educated guess at what he means here.

It's quite simple. He's dreaming of a Samoan player coming to Nebraska.

Or he could be dreaming of what could have been if Filiaga had chosen to go to Nebraska.

Or he could be telling Filiaga to think about the dream of a Somoan playing for Nebraska.

Or he could be thinking about how much American Samoan's dream about corn.

Or...

It reminds me of someone who talks entirely in pronouns, which causes the listener to repeatedly ask "Who?"

Haha wasn't totally directed at you. The recruiting forum has become really negative, Matty isn't even a total sunshine pumper lately

What in the world has happened to our recruiting class? Last week when i looked Nebraska was about 24th and now they are 36th?

If this class doesnt finish in the top 20 I will be highly dissapointed.

That happens every year about this time.

We get done with the season and it probably didn't finish how we wanted so everyone starts looking at recruiting and sees we haven't had a commit for months. Even though we have some really good players considering us, every time someone indicates one of them probably will pick someone else many people get all depressed and start thinking we suck and our coaches suck and we will never be able to compete with anyone better than Purdue.

Hit that nail directly on the head. +1

... and then we get a couple years down the road and people are complaining that we need better talent to compete.

So ....

Well you see, rankings are intended to compare us to others... considering we haven't gotten any commits in the last 7 days, and other schools have, it makes sense we have fallen. Our prospects aren't any better/worse this week than they were last week.

Oregon State is ranked 2 spots ahead of Nebraska...Now, they do have two more commits...and NU has a higher star ranking but this might end up being the highest ranked Beaver class in the last 15 years.

I guess they relocated Corvallis.

Thank you. I guess I don't really get how the recruiting rankings work then.

I don't know if JC recruits factor into the recruiting rankings, but the beavers just got one of the best JC recruiting classes ever yesterday.

They signed three 3* JUCOs yesterday with a class rank of 42 w/18 commits. Impressive is not exactly what I'd say

I only saw Rivals and they were at 35.
