If Bounds was thinking Riley would still be here he would leave him to do his thing. Why meddle. But if he is thinking Riley "May" not be here its a good idea to have Riley and staff present with the recruits to break the ice and help him build a relationship with some of these guys and their parents. He is simply hedging his bet. Perhaps Bounds was there, to show recruits (ones that are already committed STRONGLY to HCMR and the Williamses') that this coaching staff is safe. Feel secure with your commitment because this staff gets another year. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 I would say the most likely explanation is that Bounds wants the football team to be successful and is willing to help in any way he can. That can be true regardless of whether any decision has been made about Riley's future or not. 3 Quote Link to comment
GBRFAN Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Mav That conclusion is spot on - any more or less is just an educated or uneducated guess - Nothing wrong with the brass playing both sides of the fence until the answer is obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Not getting a good feeling from this week. Basically no new offers for some time. Now we roll out several this week. But none of them are guys that are going to significantly improve our currently #31 recruiting class. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Im sure these are from new evaluations through Senior Years...happens all the time. Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Knowing how set our staff was on not needing a QB for the class, I wonder if the sudden interest is due to some potential attrition at the position? Quote Link to comment

Might be because some of the big fish we were after might be losing interest and we can take a QB now. 1 Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 So, it never made sense not to go after a RB this class but it’s even more questionable with how this season has progressed. I’m not sure that Bryant will ever be able to play a full season again. Maybe taking several months off from football and lifting will help get his knee right, but our staff needs to prepare as if that’s not the case. After ‘18, we lose Ozigbo, Wilbon, and possibly Bryant and that would leave a junior Bradley and, I assume, a true freshman as the only scholarship backs heading into the ‘19 season. That would be beyond terrible roster balance and management. Quote Link to comment

So this isnt a surprise. 1 Quote Link to comment

AKA working on their resumes JK! (kind of) Only ways he can save his job is killing it with a few recruits and winning the games that got Bo fired. Going to be an interesting finish to the season. Husker football has not been good as of late, but it sure hasn't been boring. Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Coach cav is looking up the area code of his new recruit so he can tweet it with the mascot of the player's team he is recruiting. Looking for a big, rich LANCER from the 813! Quote Link to comment
