Yikes. 2015 commit Reuben Jones: "Nebraska is probably going to lose this class because they don't know what they're doing."

didn't know this kid had so much experience as an AD

 

[Brouhaha]

Well we already lost Bussey, Jurkovic, and Morgan, so he's not a complete idiot..

Every team that has ever fired a college coach had this same problem. It's not exclusive to Nebraska

Once again, another reasonable and objective post...kudos

[NebraskaHarry]

That's discouraging.

 

[74Hunter]

[irieboy8]

i really really hope these guys aren't dropping the ball completely....

Maybe Pelini burned all the recruits' phone numbers on his way out

Guess they can tweet them.

They just need to be patient.

No, they don't. We need to get on this.

How can the recruits be contacted when we don't have a staff. Riley was just announced Friday and needs to get his staff put together before they can make contact.

He can contact them himself. He can have some of the former staff contact them. He can have the LB coach he's bringing who has already been talking to other recruits talk to them. There are a lot of options. We just need to pick one of them.

It's been less than 48 hours since he was introduced as the HC. Rumors are we have Warren and Bray out on the road right now. I don't think this is an unreasonable time frame yet. I would say if no contact is made by tomorrow, then we can start to criticize.

I'm not criticizing just to criticize. I'm saying the recruits are getting impatient. Whether that's reasonable or not has no bearing. We can at least reach out to let them know we're not ignoring them. Most of them have already lost the only people they've ever talked to here. A quick "we still want you" isn't a lot to ask.
