Love the stones Riley is showing. You produce on this staff or you're out and we will replace you with someone really good. DID Eichorst put buddy retention as a no no in his contract?

Now ... If confirmed which recruits does he potentially flip to nebraska

I had a recruiting impact thread. Bartow changed his crystal ball pick on Elijah Blades from Florida to NU. He's a national analyst/insider so that's a little eye brow raising. His top two UA targets will probably be Greg Johnson and Thomas Graham.

Apparently they will send him after Carr, and it will only help with guys like Darnay Holmes and Tilford. Although Tilford looks to be a backup option at this point in time.

The staff is all in Cali attending HS games and make a mass push, so that's probably why there won't be an announcement this weekend. Eichorst would have to take the podium himself.

McKewon apparently called Williams, Riley, and got no response back.

Riley is supposed to speak Sunday evening after our bowl selection, so maybe will be announced then.

I would think Williams will focus on guys he is already recruiting who have also visited Nebraska like:
Darnay Holmes
Thomas Graham
Elijah Blades
Greg Johnson

"Per a source, Arizona cornerbacks coach Donte' Williams has accepted a job with the Nebraska staff.

247Sports has confirmed the move."

There will probably be an announcement Monday.

I'm not sure I trust "per a source" much, but the more media outlets coming out with the news, the better. Would like to see a comment by our SID or the athletic department in general.

Edit - Just saw your post above regarding all of them being in CA. Makes sense.

There's more than one hoop they have to jump through before they can officially announce a hire. It doesn't happen by jumping in the air and clicking your heels together. I suspect it's a done deal pending paperwork and the appropriate due diligence by the university.
