I like JUCOs that can play for three years. He was probably smart to get in a redshirt year in JUCO. When does he announce he's N! Did I hear a 7:00 time?

wow, yes I have to agree with this above. We have to start closing out. Its one thing to be in on kids and having there interest but it's a whole another thing not get them. Means squat if we can't get any of these guys. Just wow. I think I lost faith with Lamar Jackson now too.

Staff is getting their *** handed to them lately. Haven't had one of these go our way in a WHILE.
Sad thing is these guys aren't even top prospects. A mid 3 star and we still miss. I'm sure we'll hear we cooled on him and land a 5.4 3 star :)

How do you know he's contacted media outlets?
I had read that he told a couple of places he was going to announce tonight. I figured if he was telling the world hearld he was announcing tonight he probably was going to commit to the huskers.

We recruited some pretty talented kids the last two years at safety and corner and while we need more depth, it can make it tougher to land the next guy. Tough to sell early playing time IMO. Second, TCU has had more recent success and is in a very attractive location for kids. Third, all the bitching and whining suggesting Banker and/or Riley should be canned hasn't helped us and yes it does hurt. I guarantee you that other teams use the message board and social media crap against us.

Just so I have this right:

  • Now we have too much talent at some positions as opposed to the mantra of no talent
  • Its the fans fault for bitching and whining and the rivals message board is the determining factor - not that we have 7 losses this year. I really cannot see the TCU coach saying " Look at what Snohomishred posted last night, our message board posters are much nicer"

Coaches use everything they can to gain an advantage you have no idea of what goes out to a recruit daily from a school hot in pursuit. Yes Virginia they do use the tenor of the fans if it helps them gain a talking point.

Go take your anti-depressants. It has nothing to do with how nice posters are. Having dumbasses calling for the coach's head is not a positive for recruiting. I don't know what the determining factor was but the constant whining from the peanut section didn't help.

So I guess the fans should just suck it up after a horrible season - I wonder if TCU fans would just suck it up or if Alabam would be happy with 7 losses.

Quit deflecting from the real issue, recruits could care less what is posted pro or con on here . Now they do care about playing for titles and whether or not the program is on the right track

You've got two choices. Either go take your medicine or continue to be unhappy. Most of us are tired of your constant negativity. You're a bigger idiot than I thought if you think recruits don't pay attention to message boards and social media. Congratulations. Maybe your posts cost us some recruits this cycle.

My gawd dingle you can't be serious. Draw the excuse line somewhere for petes sake
Not an excuse just fact. I've known multiple kids that have been recruited to play D-1 sports and they practically live on social media. The NUMBER ONE thing they ALL considered was who their coach was going to be. To a Nebraska kid it wouldn't matter as much but no kid from Timbuktu wants to go somewhere if he thinks there's a chance the coach is going to get canned his first year.
