[Husker] Recruiting class

[Steven]

It was good enough for 3rd in the conference.  The problem I have are 
the inconsistencies in recruiting services.  Scout...ranked NU 50th and 
many teams ahead...but Rivals had them 23-25th.  I haven't checked 
lately.  24/7 sports had NU at 28th.  Now the real story is how far back 
Wisconsin finished...and prominent "Little-12" teams like Oklahoma State 
finishing behind the Huskers in Rivals ratings.  It ALL goes to show 
that it is just that...a show.   Nebraska has had the ability to fill 
the holes needed and augment with fantastic walk-ons.  The walk on class 
is equivalent to a Mac school's recruiting class this year.
I think we filled our needs...picked up a phat QB in Armstrong ..(pretty 
good for an old guy!) kept Westerkamp in the fold and flat out stole the 
RB from Georgia...
