Cautiously optimistic about VT. Pry did a great job keeping his skill players on offense...none of them hit the portal. Same for the defense. AND...

It's been one year, so I'm not sure if you can call him a great developer just yet. Also, Frost's recruiting was on par with Rhule - minus getting Raiola. I believe that Rhule get Nebraska back to the mountain top (bowl eligibility), but based purely on on-the-field results - 2023 Nebraska didn't look any different from any of Frost's years.

@@Alex-zs3kn debatable. Frost recruited decent. But he was such a horrible coach he couldn’t develop guys. He regressed them. And to say last year looked no different is pretty stupid. lol.

[@mattm402]

To be honest Nebraska has only had about 7 bad years. Under Pelini Nebraska was a top 15-25 program. But take a look at the history of Nebraska. from their start untill the 40's Nebraska has 5 undefeated season then had 20 years of loosing seasons until Devany took over. And if Nebraska could overcome itsself they could easily be a 10,11 win team even without beat a MI or OSU or Oregon.

[@grampajim1595]

As a Huskers fan, I'm _really_ excited the program is moving forward. I'd like to see NEB get another competent, experienced QB .. Raiola is only 19yo and likely needs a year to develop. We shoulda signed Casey Thompson when he was in town asking to come back :-(

[@raleighsanford5111]

People don't realize how deep & wide Nebraska's recruiting network was. They had people with no ties to NU all over doing the leg work for the fun of it. Then they had a system of developing an OL that ensured a constant mature, talented OL. The bad coaching change coincided with Mack Brown's new push on early commits, then they seemingly lost everything over night. They lost confidence & reputation with they were spanked 70-10 in Lubbock. Matt Rhuel is the kind of coach to get them back due to his belief in system/process.

Miami is always a sleeping giant bc everyone wants them to return to their old days. Always overrated and than they fall apart

[@malcolmjones27]

Josh hit this right out the ballpark! It would be great to see all of those programs he mentioned back on top, especially Miami. Miami, as much as everybody wants to hate on them, should be on top of the college football world along with the Alabama's and Georgia's. College football hasn't been the same without them and to be perfectly honest, I think that a lot of Miami haters fear a resurgent Miami program because it would affect other programs because a lot of the players that decided not to go to Miami who are from the South Florida area have gone out of state to other programs to help those programs become better. Look at OSU, UGA, Alabama, etc. Across the board those programs have many players from the South Florida area. Also, as Josh stated, it didn't help that the UM administration allowed for the OB to be torn down. That was the knife in the back that solidified this programs death. Nothing has been the same since then. Let's just hope that at some point in time they will build this program their own stadium because it does make a huge difference in a program's identity.

Miami won't get out of its own way as long as Crystalballs is coaching. Miami is like an elevator operator who can't remember the route. They don't know how to properly evaluate, develop and maximize the talent they recruit. FSU had 12 players invited to the Combine: 8 of whom were HS recruits and the other 4 were transfers. They were blowing up the field tests starting with Braden Fiske, 6-4, 291lb DT who ran a 4.78 40. Trey Benson 216lb RB, 4.38 40. Jared Verse, 6-4, 254lb DE, 4.58 40. Kalen DeLoach 6-0, 210lb LB, 4.47 40. Renardo Green, 6-0, 186lb DB, 4.49 40. Jarrian Jones, 6-0, 190lb DB, 4.38 40. Jaheim Bell TE, 6-2, 241 lb, 4.61 40. Miami had two safeties at the Combine, Kam Kinchens and James Williams, who both ran a 4.65 40 which was the slowest time among all safeties. Numbers don't lie.

[@malcolmjones27]

@@TheDrRJP , FOH with your rhetoric. You said all that to say what; none of those players were recruited by Mario. FSU can’t build or develop players recruited from high school. Damn near most of those FSWho players that went to the combine weren’t even recruited out of high school by Norvell. If you’re going to tell a story tell the whole damn thing and not parts that fit your narrative. Norvell has been at FSWho since 2019 and his record in that time is 31-17. With 23 of those wins coming in the last 2 seasons that means Norvell only won a total of 8 games in his first 2 seasons. Norvell’s success of late has been via the portal when that $hit dries up then what? Y’all be back to only winning 6-7 wins a season. So miss me with that BS you just typed.

[@Canes-kh5bq]

I cant think of a single major contributor that was actually recruited out of high school by Norvell. Travis, bell, Coleman, Wilson, Benson, verse, fiske all transfers.

@@TheDrRJPthe revisionist history from FSU fans is pathetic. All this “MERIO KENT COCH” and yet both of his first two years were better than Norvell’s.

Great rivalry, amd the games were really good. Both teams looking better last year. It's crazy how a single bad coach can destroy a program. In the case if GT though, they held onto that option offense a few years too long.

Nebraska fired Pelini because he was an embarrassment to the program and when he lost, he lost big time. A Wisconsin RB ran for 400 yds on the vaunted defense. Blackshirts are Top 10 in 2024. A lot of improvement in the offense is likely. 9-3 is not as crazy as it sounds. 7-0 start is a possibility.

I truly disklike the Dan Mullen reference. I understand it because "the numbers" were great except for Mullen's last season. Like Pate says, you are what your record says you are - but then also caveats that the record is not always the whole story and that is why Mullen was let go. Its well-known Mullen did not put the effort into recruiting that was needed to maintain 9+ wins and build to consistently 10+ and conference title contention.
