Isn’t this the kid that those who watch Omaha football say is better than Dickerson? I like it
My point is that when you’re trying to climb back to relevance, recruiting is just a small part. If you’re already relevant, then recruiting becomes much more important if you have playoff hopes, etc.I guess I forgot the part where we had an identical scheme, culture, and coaching staff to Iowa & Wisconsin. Top 40 classes will not work.
Having watched several WHS games in the past two seasons, I will agree with this assessment entirely. Both have very good potential with the right coaching. I’m biased, but I think Nebraska’s the right choice. Dickerson must not want to come to NU for some reason. Hopefully Bretz does.I think that he's a better high school football player than Dickerson, but that's because his skill set is better suited for the high school game. Dickerson's much more athletic, better as in coverage, and has better ball skills as a defender. Bretz's ability and willingness to stop the run is very impressive and has more of an effect on the outcome of games in Nebraska. His highlight at 23 seconds is as great of a play as you will ever see from a defensive back.
What about all the teams that recruit poorly and have little success?Wisky and Iowa have done just fine with top 40ish classes.
