[Husker] 2007 Game plan

[Duane Feldman]

I think recruiting great athletes are even more important for BC than it was for TO.  BC plays more true frosh than TO so they have less time to develop.  BC also keeps 1/4 the walkons that TO kept.  TO started with 40 walkons and reduced that to 10 in the four year.  BC starts with 10-12 walkon freshmen and reduces it from there.  The bottom line is that there is less player development so we must start with better athletes to maintain the same level of play.

      Regardless of how you want to define it you are not going to win as many football games as did TO without top notch athletes and depth.  However they are found or whatever background they have they have to be great players or at least have the foundation to be made great players.  Even walkons.  I doubt TO would have kept the average student on the team that just wanted to see what he could do.  TO knew what made his system go and he recruited accordingly and kept walkons accordingly.  He and his staff had a great eye for that.  To me that is a master recruiter or at the very least a master judge of talent.
