    Damn, that's expensive for self immolation.

    My position still stands Dennis.

    Cardboard Pete + try hard white guys + some Lawrence Phillips types = natty!

    Trust the coaches. Don't fight it... feel it.

    Here's the short list of players from the '92-'96 Nebraska recruiting classes:

    Mike Minter, Grant Wistrom, Tommie Frazier (#3 overall prospect), Lawrence Phillips, Aaron Graham, Ahman Green, Michael Booker (#7 prospect in CA), Tyrone Williams, Mike Rucker, Jason Peter, Doug Colman, Jamel Williams, Dominic Raiola, Will Shields, Mike Brown, Ralph Brown (#2 overall DB), Eric Warfield, Cory Schlesinger, Russ Hochstein, Kyle Vanden Bosch, Correll Buckhalter

    All of these guys were high 4* to 5* caliber recruits. I just picked notable players who went to the NFL (with the exception of Frazier) that people on here might remember. There are many other highly-touted prospects that Osborne was able to land that I left out. Yes, it's true that there were corn-fed walk-ons who played a role, but 3* projects were very rare. Ironically, Osborne changed his recruiting strategy in the early 90s where he strictly targeted the best prospects in the country because Nebraska lost so many bowl games during the 80s, using the "efficient use of resources" model.

    Using the "efficient use of resources" modeIs, is there a point here?

    Click on "show previous quotes" from this post. It's in bold. I was referring to his Nebraska example.
