No disrespect but you don't have to believe it. OU was ahead of Nebraska before Riley was hired, hell he didn't even like the last scheme as it stood. Also going to OU still fulfills the need to stay close to home. I just thought we had a better chance with the new staff and the fact that Montgomery had moved on, but that wasn't the case. Now he could really do something whacky and commit to KU.
All that is entirely possible. Like I said, we might not have been the leader (probably weren't) but that doesn't make us out of it.
Think if we were in this final 6 I could get with you. Him dropping us like that tells me we were in it but not by much. Both visits were with different staffs too. I've always felt I needed to see him visit us once more to get fully excited. I give the staff credit for getting him up to the spring game.
Could be the staff knows something? There's been talk of silent commits for awhile now. We're all looking at it from the perspective of the kid. What's changed in the last three weeks? Isn't that during the time frame when Fant went on his visits out west and said he knew when he would be announcing?
I don't like the sounds of McDaniel. And Fant is 50/50 but I guess we'll find out soon enough on him.
Outside of the Davis twins, it hasn't been great for the last several seasons. Nebraska has absolutely failed to recruit DEs under Pelini/Kaz and Hughes so far.
As a whole I tend to agree but Bo's staff did have some success. McMullen was highly rated and they got him out from under OSU, RG4 was a great pick up. There have been others that looked good on paper that just didn't pan out, Keels for example. Heck they had some impressive near misses like Owa. I know it is early with this staff, I am worried about the apparent lack of traction with any DL recruit of significance so far. It is really troubling and will be an issue if not fixed by the 2017 cycle.
