1. All the great players you mentioned were 3 star recruits or less except for Maclin. Daniel was a 3 star, Weatherspoon was a 2 star, Moore was a 2 star, Coffman was a 3, Ziggy was a 3. 2. Thus, it's obvious that this coaching staff is highly adept at coaching up players and finding the diamonds in the rough that fit their style of play. If something happens once or twice you can say it's an aberration, but at this point it's a trend that Pinkel & co. will continue to find athletic, under the radar 2 and 3 star players that will be great in this system. Now that we're getting looks at commitments from elite 4 and 5 star players, the future looks even brighter. Understandably we'll fall off next year due to losing so much top-shelf talent, but the program will be fine. Might want to do more research before attempting to sound intelligent when talking college football. |

Do some research and you will see that the majority of our best players were not elite recruits. Quote:

Rivals has both Coffman and Daniel as 3 star prospects. Weatherspoon was a 2. Sulak was a 2. Hood was a 2 (he may have been bumped to a 3 just prior to signing, I can't recall.) Moore was a 3. Of course, Brad Smith was a 2. Rucker was a 3. Fisher was a 2 that bumped to a 3, IIRC. Saunders was a 2. Franklin a 3.

When was the last time NU beat a top 20 team? It seems like it's been a while.
