Garrison, Fisher, Warren, jp, Beck, Ron brown, Barney, els.

My beef with giving JP the DC was it was going to take him off the road a bunch. He and Beck are great recruiters with a sh#t ton of connections, they just aren't out as much anymore.

Like what Warren its bringing to the table. Want to see a full years worth of work still. Lee was a lay up for him .

Garrison and Fisher are more like 1 and 1A. They have been on point the last two years. Garrison closed gates, but Barney did most of theeg work

Have been curious about Beck because he's been in on the QBs and not much else the last few years. But that makes sense.

Alot of talent at the qb position last 3 yrs. Not that Taylor wasn't. Not privy to who recruited Taylor, Green etc...

According to Rivals Corey Raymond was the lead for Mo Seisay in 2012. Nobody else. And now rivals calls him one of the 25 best in the country. Must be a lot easier to recruit to LSU.

 
Damn, Kaz had himself a nice little haul there in 2013. Other than Suttles he helped bring in a pretty solid group.

 
Nice article by McKewon about Garrison and our recruiting in general.

“If you want to look at it as I'm a salesman, I say I'm selling a really premium product,” Garrison said. “It's about relationships, the character of our people — and hopefully my character and our character as a staff. We have guys who care about kids.”
Those lines are mantras for many college coaches. But they were especially effective for Garrison, one of just four Big Ten coaches on the annual list. He had a big haul for the 2014 cycle, landing four-star offensive linemen Tanner Farmer and Nick Gates, and helping land wide receiver Monte Harrison in the Kansas City area and defensive tackle Peyton Newell in Hiawatha, Kan.

Garrison's already on the board for 2015, too, with Baldwin City (Kan.) tackle Christian Gaylord. Garrison's recruiting territory primarily consists of the 500-mile radius — which he shares with run game coordinator Barney Cotton — and Kansas, Missouri and Illinois, specifically.

Of his 2014 recruits, Gates was the toughest pull. Alabama, Texas A&M, Oregon and UCLA were among the schools that offered the Las Vegas Bishop Gorman High School product who was NU's top right tackle target, and the 6-foot-5 270-pounder was mulling a late visit to the Bruins before canceling it and picking the Huskers two weeks before signing day. It was “a battle to the end,” Garrison said, and Nebraska benefited from having done more work than other schools at the beginning of the recruiting process.

Gates' commitment, Garrison said, was an example of NU's recruiting system working efficiently, a system overseen by Pelini and recruiting coordinator Ross Els.
