[Husker] 2007 Game plan

[Duane Feldman]

You support my earlier point.  When a top rated team wants a player, he is ranked more highly  Therefore, highly ranked teams by definition have higher ranked recruits.  My self-described "time lag" analysis suggests the same team is not great four years later despite the highly ranked class(es).

I remember TO more for the Tomich, Aaron Graham, Neil Smith type recruits.  These were guys who didn't get recruited by Div 1A teams yet became AA under TO.  Yes, he got someof the Tommie Frazier's and Ahman Green's but it was the walkons and lower ranked recruits that made the difference.  In 25 years  TO only had a couple of top ten classes (Tommies was one) yet he was always in the top ten team rankings.   This suggests he was a better coach than recruiter.

I think it will be close and either team could win. All come down to how the ball bounces and official calls.   But with the Osborne recruiting discussion - his teams were never really highly rated - the guys he was going after were not "NFL' types.  I think this has been discussed on the list before.  It seems if USC or OU recruits a player - he becomes highly rated... it is a double edged sword.  You need to be recruited to be ranked.  Osborne went for a different kind of player.
