The data isn't ambiguous on where the hot prospects are.

Texas, Florida, and California produce over half of the top prospects each year. It drops way off after that with only 2 states Ohio and Pennsylvania that the Big Ten plays in the top 10 (PA is number 10). Those are in the Big Ten East. How often does Nebraska play in Ohio and Pennsylvania?

So Nebraska has to recruit against P5 schools located in the top states as well as the other conference members of those P5 schools that play in those states regularly. Good luck! They will get some on reputation that is fading, but they won't get the number needed to win like before. Doesn't matter who the coach is.

Nebraska recruited from Texas before they were in the Big XII and they can -- DanNUandVT 11/14/2017 4:10PM

They can. And VT can as well. Jim Harbaugh can have a camp. -- HOO86 11/14/2017 4:24PM

Nebraska wasn't in a conference with any Texas schools until 1996. -- DanNUandVT 11/14/2017 4:45PM

You're assuming what they did in the 80s and 90s, they can do now. -- HOO86 11/14/2017 5:00PM

I think the Big Ten West today is as good as the Big XII North once was.... -- Calamitous 11/14/2017 8:12PM

Well, they were playing Kansas, K-State, Iowa State, Mizzou, and Colorado -- reestuart 11/14/2017 2:10PM
