B1G Recruiting

Michigan and Ohio are in a league of their own-

It could be the Big 2 and little 12 in a couple years.

By far the two biggest shockers (for me) on those lists: Nebraska getting as few ESPN-top-300 commitments as they did, and Penn State getting as many as they did.

Hoke better start kicking B10 ass next year... Nebraska and Wisconsin cant even come close to Michigan's recruiting ability, yet they do much better with far less.

The excuse of "He still has RichRod's kids" doesnt hold much weight when those two teams win with similar caliber players.

I'm fine with all the loses this year, except for the Nebraska loss... Michigan should be beating them every year.

As I read that, I know it isnt very fair considering Hoke has only had one really good class under his belt so far, and those kids didnt play much.

It's very fair EJ. It doesn't take 5 years to build a winner. That has been proven over and over again.

Big 2 LIttle 12 PLEASE stop that nonsense. Wisconsin has made 3 straight Rose Bowl's. PSU is going to be solid. Nebraska, MSU, and NW are good teams too. Recruiting is NEVER the end all. It is all about the coaching. Wisky has 2 and 3 star recruits and consistently wins. Same with Nebraska. Pay sites jack ratings on schools who has the most fans that pay all the time (ND is a prime example)

Wisconsin BACKED into three consecutive Rose Bowls.

This year yes but the other two years no.

I actually believe that the team they had with Russel Wilson was a top 5 team. That RB with them and Oregon was a game against two top 5 teams.

Michigan should've been there instead of Nebraska but you had the horrible qb go in instead of Gardner. UofM, PSU, and OSU were all better than Wisconsin.

Hey PSU, the quarterback that played yesterday in the all star game, that is going to PSU, looked pretty good.

Don't remember his name.

His name is Hackenburg and the only reason he is coming to PSU is O'Brien. It really helped PSU and O'Brien the way he worked with Matt Mcgloin (who was a walk on). It also helps that he coached Tom Brady. Both of those reasons are why Hack has said the O'Brien will develop him better than anyone else (at least in his opinon!)

I really hope he develops because we have had three big star qb's in recent years (Morelli, Jones, and Bolden) that haven't lived up to potential. Jones and Bolden worse than Morelli.

I believe you will get some top line recruits but your depth will really hurt you in a couple of years.

We didn't really lose a lot of schollies but our recruits sucked and we lost several of them. It really killed our depth.

So playing michigan state in the B1G championship last year isn't backing your way into a Rose Bowl? Needing a Roughing the kicker penalty on sparty to beat them? Don't get me wrong, I DID NOT want sparty to win. Wisconsin just isn't that good, they are quality yes but not good.
