Correct. It was just a general statement. When I see those trying to discredit the talent the staff is bringing in, by saying it's average, or nothing special every year, but then complain that that same "average" or nothing special class doesn't excel on the level of the elite programs, that makes me think that those claims were done out of spite because they actually believe that the talent coming in is actually closer to or on par with the elite program's talents they are bringing in or that they are expecting Bo to be Bill Synder with his talent, which neither is fair to him nor the recruits.
Besides, Pelini, according to rivals, has brought in 4 consecutive classes ranked in the top 25, with two of them in the top 20. And often the recruits we are bring in aren't highly glorified early in the process, but in the closing moments we often see some of the big boys pulling at our commits. That lets me know that our staff can recognize talent and aren't relying just on stars and other's evaluations. Recruiting is highly important and yes we would love to get the top guys at every position every year, but recruiting is not what I would consider to be an "issue" for this staff or state that we are just getting "average" talent. I would say that there are at least 15 kids that have come in the last 3 classes that will be playing on Sunday.
