Say what you want about Mike Riley, but when he convinces a recruit to sink on the ship with him they'll even follow him to another sinking ship!

Riley is even more talented than I thought if he’s able to convince a recruit to another sinking ship after Riley jumped overboard from that ship a few months ago. 

 
None of the other player departures bothered me, but losing TG hurts. A capable backup QB is a big plus. With TA, TM and Zach Taylor all played hurt way too much. I prefer to put in a healthy QB. Even Bobby Newcombe played several games with a bad knee.

 
Wow! TG to OSU with MR. MR wouldn't let TG play even when his starting QB was setting records for ineptness. I guess he figures the transfer QB is locked into the starters job no matter what.

 
Just goes to show players commit to coaches more than anything. I think coach Frost wants to change that. He wants guys committing to the university of Nebraska. To this state. To the people.

When recruits visit and there's 85k Husker fans and we treat them like one of our own, its a unique experience and can tip the scale in our favor. Frost isn't making it about him. I find that to be quite the contrast compared to the rest of the B1G head coaches.

Frost, like any coach, is a person that a player has a personal and close relationship with. The university is an institution. The state is an institution. The people (fans) are people, but they're mostly faceless, nameless people.

Players should commit to coaches. Coaches are the people and the factor that really make the difference for them. Committing to the university, the state, or the fans would be fairly stupid. Those things don't matter nearly as much. Not to mention if Frost were to be fired or leave in the future, I guarantee a lot of recruits would decommit and a lot of players would transfer. As they probably should.

Not really.   He's been replaced as the tight-ends coach and I gotta think he's busy helping with an upstart league.

"Starting Friday, Riley will stand near OSU's practice field every day during preseason camp. He'll serve the Beavers' program as a consultant, with a job description as long as a commercial lease. What Riley cannot do is coach, however. He'll be at practice to observe, while offering thoughts to coach Jonathan Smith and his staff."

"Riley says he will be with the Beavers through the end of the season, then head to San Antonio to coach its AAF team."
