Mav, you can check my numbers but we are at 87. This does not count Betts, Slusher or Gifford. This means by fall practice, 5 players either need to transfer, graduate, not qualify or quit. I have no idea who that will be!
Forgot about that!Gifford counts towards 2021. So, we'd be at 4 players need to leave I believe.
No Slusher, down to 3.Gifford counts towards 2021. So, we'd be at 4 players need to leave I believe.
We are completely out--recruiting the other teams in the Big 10 West right now. Per 247, Wisconsin is 26th, Purdue is 28th, Iowa is 29th, Minnesota is 31st, Northwestern is 37th, Indiana is 49th, and Illinois is 63rd.
May depend on Betts. If it becomes apparent that he isn't going to qualify, the coaches may look to fill that spot. Most likely depends on who is still available and at what position.So are we done with this class after today or do we still have spots to fill in Feb?
Perhaps this class will be different? :dunnoWe have out-recruited EVERY B1G West school EVERY YEAR since 2014 (Wisconsin 32nd, Nebraska 35th), yet we have finished T2, 4th, T2, 5th, 5th, T5. :bang
Wisconsin and Minnesota have been pretty equal (if not better) to recruiting in the trenches and have developed much better in those positions. The Riley years stunted the growth and development of both lines and are the main reason why NU has lagged in recent years. Throw in the fact that there aren't many players left from the '17 and '18 classes, it may be another year or two before NU is competing with the top teams in the West.We have out-recruited EVERY B1G West school EVERY YEAR since 2014 (Wisconsin 32nd, Nebraska 35th), yet we have finished T2, 4th, T2, 5th, 5th, T5. :bang
Don't forget that THIS class can't solve all the problems....in time they can but not gonna come in with all freshmen and win in the B10.
