[Husker] caution

[Neal Smith]

Point 1.  Texas won the Rose Bowl this year and has one of the top programs in the country.
 
Point 3.  Name one blue chip that wanted to come to NU that TO passed on.  NU missed out on a lot of blue chippers under TO because the perception was that he ran an outdated offense.  However, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.  I will eat TO anytime!

1) UT has had Top 10 blue-chip recruiting classes for YEARS and where has
it gotten them ?

3) T.O. was renowned for passing up so-called blue chips, for those he'd
determined had the right work ethic. He placed emphasis on intangibles
other than pure athletic talent and high-school or juco stats. Not that
those weren't important--they just weren't the ONLY thing. In this light,
if everyone so highly-sought-after played next year, I wonder what
percentage of starters would still be Nebraska-born boys ?
