Wow! Gonna be a ton of recruits there. Remember a few years back that coach we had who didn't even want to hold the spring game? Times have changed!

Do you remember the coach who wouldn't even go after anyone ranked a 4 star, because we had no chance?

As usual, don't let the facts get in the way of a good argument.

LOL. slight sarcasm, but since you thought it was a challengable post, what do you have to say with substance?

Also, I believe Bo was on record talking about highly ranked recruits and saying it wasn't worth his time, because they couldn't land any of them in the middle of nowhere Nebraska.

He didn't say they weren't worth his time. They said they needed to be selective in who they went after and not waste resources on guys that they are not in it with. They went after the big fish with a connection, either a teammate on the team, coach familiar with Nebraska, or a fan of Nebraska. That is really what all of recruiting is. It appears Riley has more connections with the West Coast and therefore can pursue more kids with those connections. Also, he had done a good job of hiring recruiters to expand that impact from not just west coast kids. But to say the other staff just said it is not worth our time is ridiculous. Even Riley regrets the time they spent recruiting Sarrell last year bc Stanford was his dream school and had he known that they wouldnt have wasted the time and resources on him. Knowing where to put your work in is the name of the game in recruiting. That is why we have been burned a bit at the WR position the last few classes. We have turned away solid prospects chasing big fish and havent quite cashed in like we wanted. It is about balance and if we could win some big games we will win more of those battles than we lose.

Every thing you stated is spot on - and yes saying that BO didn't recruit top guys is "over stating" the facts. However this staff seems to relish the challenge and the last staff showed signs of not liking the challenge and went as far on more than one occasion to state that NU and many disadvantages when it came to getting these guys.

Well it depends on your definition. Miles Rileys staff has been in on more top guys already in a shorter time as Head Coach. Now that's a fact for you Mav.

Being in on top guys <> landing top guys.

Through 2 years, the numbers tell us Riley recruiting = Bo recruiting

That's a ban'able offense in my opinion. Riley recruiting is not = to he who must not be named...
