[Husker] This pretty much says it all--from Cousin Rich

[Alan Siporin]

I don't have time to go back and check each recruiting class, but even at a
glance I know this comparison is faulty. There are Nebraska players from
different classes, and lots of missing, lower ranked players. How many LSU
higher ranked players are missing? We've never had a 12 person class, which
is what this is, and Turner and Dixon, for example, are from different
classes.
