It's a premium article. All I could see is that Denbrock sat down with him and his coach.

We need another cb and cannot afford to miss out. He would also provide insurance that tee does not decommit. We need to offer ASAP.

He will get an offer soon. Only question is will it come when they look at his film, or when Cooks is out there to see him workout in person. Another strong EE candidate. Would be a great way to help rebuild to secondary to have him and Tee in for spring ball.

Tee is obsessed with Notre Dame. He isn't going anywhere.

Exactly. Gotta have the kids that really want to be here and EEs at DB are HUGE right now. A commit from a consensus 4:s: CB would be very welcome and really take us a long way towards wrapping up DB recruiting.

In light of that nonsense about Nebraska having the most Academic All-Americans, here's a brief comparison of the value offered by ND, Nebraska, and UCLA to their black football players.

Graduation Success Rate for Black Football Players:
ND- 100% (1st in BCS*)
Nebraska- 58% (35th in BCS)
UCLA- 46% (58th in BCS)

30 year Return for Graduates:
ND- $1,623,900 (2nd in BCS)
UCLA- $1,174,100 (12th in BCS)
Nebraska- $605,800 (68th in BCS)

Expected 30 year Return for Black Football Players:
ND- $1,623,900 (1st in BCS)
UCLA- $540,086 (30th in BCS)
Nebraska- $351,364 (61st in BCS)

ND offers ~3x more value than UCLA and ~5x more value than Nebraska to black athletes.

*Rankings compare only schools with football programs in AQ conferences and schools that have made recent BCS appearances. There are a total of 70 schools ranked, so 35th is the median.

Sources:
Degree Value
Graduation Success Rate
Full BCS Rankings for the Above Data

As an aside, the bullsh!t about Nebraska having the most Academic All-Americans is a great example of how unscrupulous coaches try to obfuscate this issue. Pelini's staff hear that Rios is concerned with academics, so they toss some stat at him completely out of context that makes Nebraska look like an outstanding academic institution.

Did they mention that the value of a Nebraska degree is among the worst in the BCS? Or that they only graduate 58% of their black football players? Of course not.

This stuff drives me insane. Coaches like Pelini are basically lying to recruits. That is straight up false advertising.

Not to downplay your analysis, but several other factors need to be considered in this equation. For example, how many inner city kids do we have on the team compared to schools like MIA, FL St, LSU, etc. Those kids are obviously at a disadvantage academically. There are a lot of players that don't have the desire to succeed academically. We have tougher admissions weeding out those kids,...if you qualify here there is a high probability you were academically driven in HS. Lastly, and unfortunately not many of our recent black players have left early for the pros. Alabama loses 2 to 3 every year...do those kids come back and graduate?

So I agree with you, but it's not as simply as pure numbers.
