Can you recruit to Lincoln, NE?

Apparently not as Scott Frost has a class ranked 23rd, the same as the previous two years under Mike Riley. Average recruit ranking is about the same also. I expected him to do much better, especially with all the transfers and obvious opportunity for playing time.

Frost is an average recruiter. Riley's recruiting abilities were very underrated, not because he was stellar with one on one battles, but rather he found talent where others weren't looking.

For what it's worth, Frost is out-recruiting Chip so far, and Chip's in Los Angeles.

Based on Frost's comments about the difficulty in trying to recruit players to Oregon compared with MC's results it would appear that recruiting success is based more on attitude/aptitude than geographical location. To be fair, Frost recruited well at UCF, but one would think that he would do even better at Nebraska.
