[Husker] Nebraska High School talent 2005

[todd strong]

You make some valid points. I have been pondering them.
I would have to agree with most of them, to a degree. I have a very good 
friend who is very tight with Bailey. I wont disagree with you as a matter 
of fact.
The financial reality you mentioned, coupled with the parity and scholarship 
limits are more of an issue with my view of the slip, or whatever we can 
call it, on Solich's behalf. The kids still wanted to come here.
