We’re on a roll today with this class and signing day!  Wow!

[AuroranHusker]

Third straight Top 25 recruiting class for Scott Frost at Nebraska, and that hadn't been done at NU in nearly 15 years (Billy C.).

Yikes... I didn’t realize even Bo’s classes were rated that low.

Callahan chased stars and class rankings, Bo was much more of a culture/fit kind of guy.

 

Not a huge surprise that Bo's best teams were the ones that still had Callahan recruits around.  But Bo did have a pretty stellar record when it came to graduating guys and there was the whole 9 wins every year thing, so...

 

Mind you, I'm not saying one way is better than the other necessarily.  Wisconsin, Iowa and Kansas State among others manage to do real well by developing less heralded guys.

Oh, most certainly.  I was just saying, for a guy who won 9 games every year, not having a bunch of top 25 classes was in

impressive!

Tom had possibly the best all-star staff of assistant coaches ever assembled too.

Osborne regularly accumulated a lot of highly regarded classes in his 25 years. He and his staff were great recruiters to Nebraska.

But he also had a lot of walk ons that played key roles through out his tenure.

Yes, development was also an extremely important aspect in Osborne's winning formula. T.O. was/is an innovator & teacher.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if Frost can live up to the standards of TO and innovation and what not

Yeah, time will tell the tale.

Maurice Washington will not be apart of the team heading into the 2020 season. Seems as if Frost gave him enough chances. I hope Maurice Washington finds a good home. Hes still a very young man, with plenty of time to get it together. Also, he happens to be very talented. Good luck to him and GBR.

Yet Mo will be apart from the team.

Nebraska's spring football game will be on April 18th.

Not Husker related, except perhaps tangentially seeing as how there is a history with our AD but:

Weird move for the southern MSU to cut bait after 2 years of Joe Moorhead. But, it will certainly be interesting having Mike Leach in the $EC.

Mike Leach AND Lane Kiffin

 

Same conference

Same division 

Same state 

 

 

 

I will definitely be tuning in to the Egg Bowl.

GREAT SCOTT!

 

That will be even more epic than the pissin' dog-pose of this past season.

Fire up the coaching carousel again, let's give this thing one more whirl!

[HuskerFever]

Got the Davis brothers drafted in the NFL and now Pierson-El has another shot at the NFL:

Looking for opinions...

 

So if non-conf games get cut and this years football season consists of only conference games the G5 and FCS schools will lose out on ALOT of money.

 

So here's an idea to help them out: In the Spring of 2021 schools are allowed to play one or two exhibition games. This would temporarily (or permanently) replace traditional spring games. So instead of a Red v. White scrimmage, we play two exhibition games against Central Michigan and South Dakota State. Now obviously those two schools would have to receive some type of payment. Im sure it would have to be modified since its not a regular season game and surely wouldnt be covered nationally as much as one.

 

Thoughts?

I've long thought Nebraska Football should be able to do what NU Volleyball and Husker Baseball have done as far as exhibitions in the off-season.
