I think Nebraska's 2021 recruiting class is the best ever based on prep recruiting predictions. Those predictions are extrapolations by coaches about a player's potential over a four year college career. They don't predict how good a player will be in their freshman year and, of course, they don't always turn out to be accurate.
I agree Jamesy. Stanford's 2016 class turned out to be one of the best if not the best. At the start of 2019 Penn State's Russ Rose said it was the best class ever and predicted Stanford would win the NC in 2019.
There are some weaknesses in Nebraska's freshmen. Batenhorse got picked on mercilessly by opponents' servers in the U20 world national championship. Nebraska plays #5 Louisville on Saturday. It will be interesting to see Nebraska's starting lineup for that match.
#5 Louisville and #8 Kentucky are playing right now on ESPNU. Maybe on Saturday Kentucky will view #16 Stanford as small potatoes after today's big match. (CompSci, does potatoes have an e in the spelling?)
