Agreed, through it all we did have some hope as we continued to see good recruiting classes. If we lose that as well there isn’t going to be much we can hang our hat on as far as hope.
Might as well just disband the program

I hope we have some players up our sleeve that we can close on.
Not trying to ruin it. I understand the title of the thread to be a recruiting update thread. Things are not looking good; it’s shaping up to be one of the worst rated classes we’ve had in some time. I’m concerned.Your on a roll
Don't ruin my thread
It is. It's also missing star power and Omaha flavor. We seem to he whiffing on some of the guys we thought we had. It's not time to panic but there's definitely some cause for concern. Seems like a fair discussion to have.I thought this was going to be a small class by design and likely due to low numbers rated in the lower half of the B1G unless we sign only 5 stars.
Did I miss something?

Agree with the first sentence. We'll see on the undervalued thing. I disagree on the Omaha part. I think that is a bigger deal than most want to admit and shows that the staff has work to do to build up that relationship.I don't think the '22 class will flesh out with stars until we start winning this fall. It's early, IMO. I also think virtually the entire class is undervalued from a 'star' standpoint. I like most of the kids in it and think there are some real gems there. I'm not a recruiting guru like a lot of you guys, but I watched a bit of all of their film. The Omaha thing is overblown, IMO.
All that said, it certainly does seem like a fair discussion. Emphasis on fair.

Believe me, I'd love to be wrong. My fandom is much larger than my love of being right.And if your wrong?
They said they were never coming to NU? Where was this documented? I don't recall ever seeing that. I know it was never a given and NU was going to have to work for it.It's been well documented over the past 2 years that the top 3 players from the Omaha area this year were never going to come to NU. Those players said from the beginning that they were going elsewhere for various reasons.
