Is Riley's recruiting process/organization better? I would say 'yes'.

 

But the end results so far under Riley have been pretty much the same that we saw under Bo. And one could argue that Bo brought in higher level talent (more 4*s) than what Riley has done.

Pretty laughable that you tried to use Team Ranking, when you basically have no control over who other teams get to get in front of you and it bases it off of how many recruits you land.

 

Besides that, MR proving he can get better and better, while Bo fell off a cliff. Now, will you please stay off my lawn?

Here you go Mav. Didn't go run and hide anywhere.

That's basically the same info I just posted - actually posted months ago. Thanks though.

 

So Riley's two full classes have averaged .8707 and .8758. Bo's full classes ranged from .8580 to .8832. Bo has more classes to this point. Some of his classes have been better than Riley's, some have been worse. Riley has been right in the same range where Bo was.

Can you admit Mikes are on the up and up and Bo's fell off a cliff?

Can you admit they've been pretty much the same so far?

No. if we are competing in any "higher score wins" sport and I score 87.3 and you score 87, who wins?

 

Mavric is saying "pretty much." Which yes, they are at this point in Riley's career at Nebraska.

[MyBloodIsRed16]

I think if you look at how both coaches came to the program that should say something about their recruiting prowess. Bo came as the former DC of a national championship team in the SEC. Mike Riley came as a middle of the pack coach from Oregon St. I would venture to say that BO got a few recruits who figured he could duplicate what happend at LSU. Mike Riley doesn't really have that going for him and I think he has done a good job of getting the right type of players to commit and a lot of others to pay attention to nebraksa again. The key for mike is this year is putting up some numbers on offense. They need one of these receivers and RBs to have a breakout year so recruits can see success. I think the defensive side will continue to bring in solid recruits especially after Bookie commits

[Nebfanatic]

Mike Riley has recruited very slightly better thus far imo. Very very slightly and the only reason I say so is I think the ceiling is higher and Nebraska's brand is now growing among recruits more so than in the past. Thus far the results have been the same as Bo on a good year(not his best year) but I think Riley has the potential to out recruit Bo by a fair margin by the end of his time here.

 

I was one to say the recruiting is flat out better, but I will concede the results aren't much different thus far in a sense.

[ScottyIce]

HCMR and Staff are going to fill half of this class with players rated at or above 90. You can BOOKIE that.

[Mavric]

First, I'm a big fan of Mike Riley and I think he is a better recruiter than Bo. But the numbers you post here don't seem to support that. In fact, I'd always thought Callahan was a better recruiter than Bo. But really there's not much of a difference between the three. I don't know what to make of that. :

 

One thing about Bo, he was better at filling gaps with JUCOs. He pulled in quite a few highly ranked JUCOs who became key players on his teams. That strategy worked especially well for Bo since he seemed very reluctant to let freshmen or even sophomores on the field. Riley and staff aren't going after JUCOs the way Bo did. But Riley seems more willing to let underclassmen see more action earlier. So there's that.

I don't think there's much question that Riley's staff will end up being better, especially with the recent hires. But it definitely hasn't been the huge jump people predicted up to this point.

 

JUCOs have probably been the biggest short-coming of Riley's staff. As you mentioned, Bo had good success filling in a couple here and there. Riley really needed to add a JUCO OT one of the last two years and a JUCO WR wouldn't hurt at this point. Though I don't think it's accurate to say Riley has been playing more underclassmen. He really hasn't played any more than Bo - possibly less.

Now it's not enough for me to admit you were right and I was wrong!?

[HuskerzFanatik]

In reality Riley has a two season sample size compared to Bo's. I think we will have a pretty good idea if Riley has the recruiting aspect trending in an upward path after a couple more years have passed. I will honestly say I feel more confident in this staff then the last, but only time will tell.

[Warrior10]

HCMR and Staff are going to fill half of this class with players rated at or above 90. You can BOOKIE that.

Do you actually mean this?

[Stumpy1]

One way to tell if you are recruiting good is if other teams are complaining about it. Riley has teams on the west coast plus teams in the Midwest on their heels and asking WTF has happened. Can't say I ever seen that with Bo.

[ScottyIce]

 

HCMR and Staff are going to fill half of this class with players rated at or above 90. You can BOOKIE that.

Do you actually mean this?

Yes, basically says 8/16 or 9/18 in class are 4 stars. We're already going to have 4 by end of this weekend it sounds like.

No, that's not what you did. You sat on your high horse and made a grandiose display of "agreeing" with something that not only is not correct but also nothing like what I was saying.

 

Thus the strawman comment.
