I will try to dumb it down for you.
Of course the staff worked hard. But that is what they do. If you put in the hard work you will be rewarded.
Again, Litespeed is suggesting Nebraska is not an easy place to recruit to. I disagreed. Nebraska has a lot going for it in terms of facilities, tradition, and fan support. Riley and company get that and have used it to their advantage. It's hard work, but when you put in the hard work, the recruiting becomes easier. Or, to put it another way, recruiting to Nebraska is not as hard as some people think.
Is the light bulb coming on? Did that help? Or are you just doing a classic Nikkisixx move and trying to be contrarian just for the sake of being contrarian? Trying to get under my skin? That's something you would do...
