It's a bit sad, to me, to see Nebbie in this state.  Even with a new coach, it would take a few years to rebuild, if in fact they can now.  I think USC and Texas are easier to bring back.

Where does UNL sit compared to Tennessee, in your opinion?

Tennessee has somewhat better access to recruits I think.  A good coach there should be able to do reasonably well, not well enough for its fans though,   The current situation is an attempt to use a "gimmicky" offense in a sense to traverse issues with core talent.  That can make them dangerous, like Georgia Tech once was, but cannot sustain elite performance.

Nebraska might get a Paul Johnson kind of coach and offense and start winning 9 game a year on average, but that is the limit.

For what it’s worth, I think Tennessee has deeper pockets. Maybe Nebraska is better in that game than I remember, Tennessee‘s ability to “entice“ regional talent has always been top-flight

The Vols now have a large NIL gig which might have been a factor recently.

Tennessee has MUCH better geography in terms of being near talent. Plus they are not that far from two major talent producing states- Ohio and Florida. Plus the state itself produces much more talent than Nebraska.

the Huskers have enough money and the NIL game is top notch

it's a matter of finding the right coach and they will keep trying until they find that guy

it's a matter of time

true, the Vols should find it easier to rake better talent than Nebraska, but they play in the SEC, not the Big Ten West

Nebraska can land enough talent to compete in the Big Ten West, they already do that.  Just imagine how much better they might recruit if they were winning 8-9 games a season and winning the west once in a while

The 10 states with the most players in the updated Top247 rankings (247sports.com)

The top 4 are Florida, Texas, Georgia, California.  The Vols can hit two of those, Nebraska nearly zero.

Five and six are Alabama and Louisiana.

Oh expert on the Vols, what would be enough for us lowly Tennesseeans?

The Vols have always recruited nationally, moreso back a decade ago, but we can hit any state we want.

I presume you left Cali out of your 2 for 4 .... may want to check the history books on Vols West Coast recruiting.

I don't know historically if Nebraska or Tennessee has recruited more from California, but the relevant point is where either can recruit more readily today which tends to mean contiguous or nearly so states by and large even for national programs.

The top programs over the past five years or so reside in fertile recruiting grounds (ND certainly has national draw still).
