“The difficult thing at Nebraska was walking into a home in Dallas and saying I want you to skip over all these schools that are an hour away and come play for us. Recruiting Los Angeles, sitting at a home in Compton and saying I want you to take us over USC and UCLA. That’s a hard sell. Ultimately what you are forced to do at a school like Nebraska is to really spend a lot more time evaluating tape and worry less about the Rivals rating,” Pelini said.
So Pelini is used to ignoring the stars and trying to find a player that will develop into a contributor, and he also now can use the ‘stay home and play’ card that was used against him when he tried to talk kids into leaving Texas or California.

Seriously though - can we all just get off the recruiting debate and just relax and watch the man go to work? It's obvious there will be two distinct sides on the recruiting debate. And it doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon.
Oh btw he just got a commit from a 3 star ;D

LOL - you're a good man Walty. Hey it's fun debating sometimes. Let's just have fun with how coach is trying to turn around the program. Happy holidays!
