The $6 Million Question: Will Move To Big 10 Hurt Nebraska's Efforts In Texas?

And when they disappear from Texas TV sets to the BTN and ABC midwest regional feed it will have absolutely no effect! :jimlad:
 
While discussing the Huskers, Svoboda mentioned that he coached another player last year whose name might resound within Nebraska: JaMichael Rozier, the son of Husker Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier.
The younger Rozier rushed for some 1,700 yards at Klein Collins last year but picked a scholarship from Prairie View A&M over NU’s walk-on offer.

I think it will cut their Texas recruits by half, but it won't matter because they got paid... :biggrin:
 
It will hurt recruiting dont let it fool ya. 16 kids in the Big 10 are from Texas, how many play for NU? Sorry dude kids from Texas dont want to play in the Big 10, the numbers dont lie.
 
As of today, 8/5/2010, there are 26 Texas kids on the NU FB roster. Let's come back in subsequent years and see what happens to that number.

Yes, because every Texas high school football player gets up in the morning and turns on the BTN, to see who Nebraska is playing.
 
I'm not convinced either way right now. The proof will come about 4-5 years down the road when Nebraska hasn't played the Texas teams for a few years.

This. Wing nuts must not realize that kids from Texas play in the Big 12 because they get to play in their homestate alot. Aside from OSU, the Big 10 has not played in Texas outside of bowl games in recent memory.

?, I think you missed the :jimlad:

Anyway, the coach they quote in the article is a former NU walk-on so of course he is going to be slanted. Iowa now has only 2 players from the state of Texas with a majority coming from Iowa, Illinois, and other Midwest enclaves they have built up.

I think this is how the Nebraska roster will morph over the next 4 to 5 years, with a little more national approach. Nebraska is going to have to build midwest relationships in new territories, and quickly.

This exactly correct. An article quoting a coach that is from Nebraska and one recruit doesn't mean squat. The real proof in the pudding will be 3-5 years from now. I would expect Nebbie to stay strong this year and next but kids will begin to migrate away unless Nebraska starts off with a bang in the big 10.
I would expect the Pelini's would make some strides in Ohio. I mean that is where they are from. That will help and all they need is an in. There are plenty of schools that don't recruit Texas and do fine. they will just need to pick that slack up somewhere else

Considering the Pelini's are from Ohio, I would guess that is where they start.
