[Husker] Recruiting

[Skylar Dodds]

That's actually a common misconception.  TO's classes where he won
championships were almost always in the top 10 by Lemmings and others
(Rivals wasn't around back then).  T Frazier was a 5-star.  Tom's
championships came when he realized he needed to recruit championship speed.

Part of the thing to keep in mind that the recruiting services generally
rank players based on how they fit into pass-oriented NFL style offenses,
especialy QBs and OLs.

As Nebraska transitions back towards something more like the option offense
of the Osborne era, I would expect Nebraska's recruiting classes to suffer
in the rankings.

I don't care.  Osborne won 3 national championships with players from
recruiting classes that as I recall were not Top 10 caliber classes.

Notre Dame has had several losing seasons in the past 10 years with its
nearly perennial top 5 caliber classes.  (But I have always said that Notre
Dame is a special case, a player being recruited by Notre Dame goes UP in
the rankings of the recruiting services, just because Notre Dame wants him.)
