Huskers93-97 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 someone asked me this the other day so thought I would throw it out there. May just be a worthless thought but it caused me to pause hindsight and say hmm. Bookie started to distance himself shortly after Friday night lights. Crystals were flooding for tutt and Griffith with a few crystals for pledger to flip leading to FNL. Usually when you see crystals fly that fast someone is bout to commit - word is out. But none of them did or have to date and bookie is getting distant. Did something happen to make guys question coming? Bookie was super vocal leading up to FNL then got pretty quiet Quote Link to comment

Sure I've read it. Pretty good take on Clemson and he's still committed to us after the visit. He'll be taking all his officials...hopefully, you guys don't pitch a fit when he talks about each one after he visits each time. If he breaths wrong they freak out. I've never seen so much over reaction from grown men 2 Quote Link to comment

MyBloodIsRed16 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Has nobody learned anything from the last 3+ years when our biggest recruit flips or doesn't commit at the last minute or plays baseball.. nothing you can do about it so just take it as it comes Quote Link to comment

That was always his big talking point for liking Nebraska. I would like to think he's smart enough to realize the difference between a family-like environment and nepotism. Quote Link to comment

I believe Edison is referring to this paragraph from the blog (Edison, please correct me if I'm wrong). https://www.landof10.com/nebraska/nebraska-brendan-radley-hiles-irm-clemson-visit "It’s also so family-oriented at Clemson. Coach Swinney has two kids on the team, and his younger sons are the little ball boys on the side of the field running around. The president of the school has a son on staff as a graduate assistant. Coach Venables’ son is committed in my class to play linebacker at Clemson. Coach Bates actually went to Clemson and met his wife there. Coach Reed also met his wife there." I believe what Edison is getting at is the coaches and university leadership is using their positions of power to give their kids opportunities they may (or may not) be able to attain without their parents in their respective positions.

spurs1990 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Well they just won a national title so I'm not sure criticizing their family atmosphere is the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment

If the program wasn't successful as of late, id agree with him...... they are winning so it's a reach. Quote Link to comment

All schools do this, no? And not sure we can throw stones. Coach Dub's kid transferred in. In the past we've had 3 Cottons and a Pelini on the team. 1 Quote Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I think it is a fair observation, just because they are winning and successful right now doesn't mean they are exempt from criticism. Even if other schools do the same thing it doesn't mean that's not what's going on. Quote Link to comment

I agree the nepotism thing happens everywhere in college football. Quote Link to comment
