So.. we can't even beat out crappy midmajors and have to recruit players with zero offers?

Yes..........do you realize that Nebraska is 1 of only 3 schools in the power conferences that has zero wins in the NCAA tournament?

Who the hell wants to come here when they can go to a mid-major and be on a team that plays in the NCAA tournament?

This is the reason why Creighton out-recruits Nebraska in basketball..........it doesn't matter if we bring in Bobby Knight, the recruits aren't just gonna start pouring in here.

what about the worst midmajor school that will never win anything..

When I say "nobody wanted them" I'm saying no power conference schools want them...........I'm not talking about mid-majors.............I guess I don't understand what point you are trying to make here.

Look, it's real simple.........I mean if you don't know about Nebraska's struggles to recruit bball players over the past 15 years then you've been hiding under a rock.......or maybe under a football (probably this).

Players don't want to come play for Nebraska and get blown away by Kansas at least twice a year, by Texas at least once a year, A&M, Mizzou, KState, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor........you name it, the list goes on and on.

Players want to go somewhere where their reputation won't get damaged.........every single kid going to a D1 school thinks they have a shot at going to the next level.......and they don't want to go look like a fool.

Going to Nebraska you are definitely risking quite a bit..........there are plenty of kids who will find that it would be a better route to go play for a Juco than play for Nebraska. Scottie Pippen played at a Juco and ended up being an NBA star....

It's not like our football coaches are just better at recruiting than Doc.............they have a whole lot more to offer. Like for instance, we have the best facilities in the entire country............we have one of the top programs historically in the entire country............you will be playing with other top recruits from around the country............many players will go on to the NFL.......etc, etc...........I mean shit, it's Nebraska football. Who the hell wouldn't want to play football for Nebraska?

FOOTBALL WOOOOO

I seriously think if we had Jacob Pullen on our team, we would be in 3rd right now in the Big 12. I mean Jeter is a great ball handler, great leader, but seriously............if we had one solid guy like Pullen who can just take it to the hole and create a shot whenever he wants........our team would be pretty difficult to beat.

Oh I'm not saying I wish he was on our team..........I was just saying, if we had him on our team we would be really hard to beat.

Awaiting BRS's arrival.........I can already see a 2,000 word response to me saying the football team did not match the basketball team's effort this year.

the defense did have the intensity.

T-Tragic was cancer, and nobody wanted to play for him.

This is mainly what I was referring to..........the offensive line lacked effort in the 2nd half of the season.

Their was a big lack of focus offensively as well. WRs dropping passes, fumbles..........just not 110%. It's one thing to drop a pass, but when you do that, you get mad at yourself and you come back and make sure you catch the next one. That just never happened.

 

[iruletheskool]

doesn't help when your QB and OC don't communicate well..

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Yea.........but I ultimately agree with Bo.........because Bo knows............and he says the want-to wasn't there in our losses.

 

[iruletheskool]

there were many problems, and that was one of them.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

The biggest problem was that I wasn't on the field..........there is NO explanation/excuse for that

 

[iruletheskool]

that is true.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

LOL @ irule kissin my ass now so that I don't commit suicide

 

[iruletheskool]

I don't want to lose all them plorsts.
