[Husker] Recruiting trend?

[Roger]

One possible explanation for the perceived drop in recruiting class rank is that B.C. simply went after the players with the most stars behind their name.  I believe T.O. found athletes with few/no stars and made 'stars' of them.  Hopefully, that is what we will see with Bo as well.

I like Pellini a heck of a lot more than I did Callahan but the national class rankings are as follows: 2005: #5, 2006: #20, 2007: #13, 2008: #30 (was top 5 until the firing); 2009: #28, and, so far, the 2010 class is ranked #38. I know Callahan could recruit but apparently could not coach; I am now worried that the reverse might be true with Pellini. By the way, the team with the #1 Rivals ranking the past two years is Alabama, so I don't
