It's crazy that every receiver from 2018 is now gone.

It really is amazing how many players never really make it.

What do you lose from 9th grade to 12th grade?  @HS_Coach_C

The baby fat and the squeaky voices?

I hate you!  Ha

You know what I mean.  

But that was incredibly funny!

When you look at WR, look at how 2018 panned out when frost was just trying to get a class together to hit numbers. Not saying they are not good players, but most of them are on the low end for a reason. 
 

I’ll be curious how much attrition happens on the 2019 class. Encouraging to see the rise in rankings. Need to win some games to make the next jump. 
 

Excited by the influx at the LB position. Teams have been taking advantage of our LBs eyes and/or lack of speed for awhile it seems. Overhaul was long overdue.

I think since he arrived so late he was scrambling to sign kids to fill the 18' class and wasn't able to build relationships. Between that and the 17' class having a ton of kids not make it or leave set us back big.

I took the data given and computed some averages.   I did not mess with the transfers.  

Not sure if this tells us too much but kind of interesting.   

Ratings per position high to low:

1)  QB rating average = .9155             3/3 100% retention

2)   ILB rating average = .8944         7/7     100%

3)   WR rating average = .8940       10/14   71.4% retention

4)   RB rating average = .8848             5/7   71.4% retention  (I guessed that m.w is gone)

5)   DB rating average = .8799        11/13  84.6 %

6)   OL rating average = .8785         10/11  90.9% retention

7)    DL rating average = .8783         8/8    100%   retention

8)  OLB rating average = .8717       7/7     100 % retention

9)   TE rating average = .8614            1/3    33%  retention (I moved McGriff to TE's)

From the ratings we are better with skill positions than the positions on the line.  

Retention rates by position  Ratings per position high to low:

1)    DL rating average = .8783         8/8    100%   retention

2)    ILB rating average = .8944         7/7     100%

        OLB rating average = .8717       7/7     100 % retention

4)   QB rating average = .9155             3/3 100% retention

5)   OL rating average = .8785         10/11  90.9% retention

6)   DB rating average = .8799        11/13  84.6 %

7)   WR rating average = .8940       10/14   71.4% retention

8)   RB rating average = .8848             5/7   71.4% retention    (I guessed that m.w is gone)

9)   TE rating average = .8614            1/3    33%  retention (I moved McGriff to TE's)

It seems that most attrition happens with skill positions.   The more blue collar type positions seem to be more stable.  Defense is generally better than offense.

Knock on wood, but it's probably just a matter of time until we start to see some QB losses. Hard to keep talented guys around as backups...

 

[HUSKER 37]

Interesting read..Not new...But new to me. 

Nebraska's in-state recruiting collapse was worse than you think. Scott Frost won't find a quick fix

In the 1990s, 51 Husker lettermen came from towns of fewer than 2,000 people, including 14 on the 1997 team alone. This decade, 12 lettermen fit that category.
Look at it from the scope of scholarship players. In the 14 years before Bill Callahan, 15 towns of fewer than 2,000 people produced a scholarship recruit. The 14 years since? None.
Here’s the most glaring fact: In the past 10 seasons (2008-17), two Husker lettermen came to NU from eight-man high school football. Lance Thorell and Taylor Dixon, walk-ons from Loomis and Wauneta-Palisade, respectively, finished their careers in 2011 and 2012.

The obstacles specific to Frost are more formidable:
» Limits to walk-on numbers because of Title IX. Attempts to expand the Husker roster to Osborne standards may require NU to cut a men’s sport — or create another women’s sport.
» The rising cost of college. In-state tuition to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln 20 years ago averaged $2,849. The cost — even after accounting for inflation — has more than doubled, not including increases in housing, meals, books and fees. It’s harder for native sons to accept walk-on offers.
» The evolution of college football. The sport values speed more than ever. Size and power football, where Nebraska kids traditionally excelled, is at less of a premium. Moreover, the old path to success — redshirting, developing and waiting two or three years to set foot on the field — has become antiquated. Kids want to play now.
» A generation of kids that has never seen Nebraska in the top 10. Homegrown kids used to dream of wearing the red N. Now they like Oregon and Ohio State, too.
» Demographic changes. The only reason the State of Nebraska is growing is because of its Latino population. Those kids often lack experience and interest in football.
» The biggest issue of all: Small-town depopulation. Rural Nebraska is drying up at an alarming rate, and with it the unheralded heroes of Osborne’s program.
