[Husker] What If? (fwd)

[jonlists at cbsol.com]

Good grief. Pick up a copy of Bruce Feldman's book "Meat Market" and 
you'll find out how nuts the entire recruiting process is. Add to that Tom 
Leming's book "Football's Second Season" and you get his take on it. 
Reviewed both of them at Corn Nation, and after reading them, I'd worry 
about what I post here as much as I'd worry about us changing the stripes 
on our pants.
