True trash is what that program is now.

I'm surprised by Michigan as well.They used to make their pick of the best players.

Can't help but notice that you don't like Nebraska much, do you>

Absolutely do not. Proudly hate everything about that program and its fans.
If incessant Nebraska hate isn't your bag, I'd definitely recommend clicking ignore on my profile.
You didn't ask a dozen different girls to prom?

The crazy thing, though, is that even with as shitty as they've performed the last 5 years, they continue to bring in Top 25 classes. Granted, they obviously don't know how to develop them once they're there, but the fact they can still bring in that type of talent while remaining largely irrelevant during the last 20 years is crazy.

I hope they keep up this approach, it seems to be working out great for us.
If you put out the message:
Come here, we will put you in an environment that values hard-work and accountability, you will have a fair opportunity to earn playing time, you will be part of a family, we will develop you into a better human being, and we will maximize your chances of making a paying career out of football.
...you get hard-nosed, driven kids who want to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Iowa knows what they are doing with their messaging.

If you put out the message:
You are the superstar piece this team needs (by the way, I have also offered 300 more of those super-star pieces). Come be a part of this all-star recruiting class we are putting together. When you get here, you are going to play right way. We are going to dominate with all our talent; it is going to be easy, it is going to be awesome, you need to get on board!
...you are going to get the type of kid that switches high schools to go play with the other good BB players so it is easier to win championships. The type of kid that demands instant gratification. The type of kid that does not accept responsibility. The type of kid that isn't willing to put in the work necessary to reach their potential.

No dude, you don't. Nor did I. Colossal waste of time and money.

One of the very few things I like about the Twitter age is that we get to see things like this and frost will get asked about it. In 1989 nobody had a fucking clue about how many offers got made, let alone who got offered and from where. You didn’t really know anyone on the team until they got playing time as sophomores in most cases.
That tweet by Sanderson is getting traction, and frost got squirmy last year when he was asked about it. He’ll definitely get quizzed on it, especially if the tire fire continues.

Is it because all 12 of the girls turned you down? It's ok, you can tell us. Everyone here is very compassionate and understanding.
