ESPN announced yesterday that the Nebraska Cornhuskers are a school who is falling apart in high school recruiting like a Jenga tower with a bacon treat embedded in a family room full of Golden Retriever pups.
Now, if I’m honest, in this day and age of the transfer portal, high school recruiting and the development of those kids means waaaaay less than it did even three years ago. Unless these guys are seeing the field pretty regularly by the end of their sophomore year, it has become sensible to hit the portal for that starting position next year.
I mean, we’re already hosed and can’t catch up, right?
CORN FLAKES
Recruiting? We’re cooked. Just listen to the Worldwide Leader
I mean, how can we argue?
Well, we did get this 4-star receiver.
Flipped this dude from Arizona
Oh, and grabbed this beastmaster-lookng lineman
He appears large.
And beat out Michigan, Ohio State, Auburn and Florida for this 4-star offensive line recruit.
But please remember – we stink at recruiting. No way in hell we could beat out SEC programs and the two B1G programs who only have to play by conference rules at their own choice and convenience.
