Ed Helms Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Missing on a couple key prospects late, is for from "whiffing on everyone" in the area, and those two kids from Kansas are probably going to Clemson whether it was Pelini or Riley in charge..... Both Fant and Bubak were coming to NU until this staff messed it up. You seemed to miss out on them in your mentions. So no biggie we let the best two kids leave because we wouldn't call them back. That's a cool thought, except it's not even close to the truth. Don't let those pesky facts get in your way of spewing BS. From the OWH: Head coach Mike Riley personally took over Fant’s recruiting awhile ago, Fant said, which has helped the Huskers’ relationship with the family. Fant said NU’s recruitment has gone through “ups and downs” dating back to the former coaching staff led by Bo Pelini. Fant’s father, Willie, agreed that the previous staff has had some lingering effect on the process. “The Riley staff is definitely a lot more personable,” Willie Fant said. 2 Quote Link to comment

Blackshirt96 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Dang it! I missed who S&B said just recently but apparently they let the name slip on air. Sounds like announcement could be made today. Angus McClure is who I thought Sharpe mentioned quickly on air this morning. Would be a great hire IMO if true. EDIT - will need to go back through the podcasts, 2nd or 3rd segment to be sure but that is who I thought I heard him say. Interesting! I don't remember this guy at all but he's got a few ties to Nebraska apparently. Was an assistant for Callahan for two years, and was also the offensive line coach and run game coordinator for Turner Gill at Buffalo. Here's some more of his bio from UCLA's site: Angus McClure has over 20 years of coaching experience and is entering his ninth season as a member of the Bruin staff. In 2012, he began coaching the defensive line, having previously coached tight ends, offensive line and special teams since arriving in Westwood in 2007. Angus continues in his role as the Recruiting Coordinator. Over the past eight years, McClure has also led the recruiting effort which has resulted in Bruin classes being ranked among the nation's top 20 in each year. In 2013-14, he was named among the Top 25 Recruiters in College Football by Rivals. In addition, UCLA has had a defensive lineman selected in six of the past eight NFL drafts. Seems like a fantastic hire if true, but are we putting all of our eggs into the California basket? Not a bad basket to be in. Having said that, this coaching staff showed plenty of ability to adapt to recruiting in the 500 mile radius, an area they hadn't had much experience in before.... They pretty much whiffed on everyone in that 500 mile radius they went after. The ones that signed were recruited hard or committed to Bo's staff. The high school relations guy sucked, was an arrogant A hole and told the coaches at the coaching clinic he didn't intend to recruit Nebraska much. He was so bad and screwed up so much they announced today he was reassigned. Going forward Kenny Wilhite has that role and he will excel at it. That's just not accurate. Farniok- Was far from locked up by Pelini. That was most definitely a recruiting win in the radius for 2016. ' Bryant- Wasn't even offered by the Pelini staff Wilson- Wasn't offered by Pelini. Stoll- No Pelini offer. Domann- All Riley & staff there. As for the lineman who were already committed (Raridon, Brokop). You act as if it's easy to keep kids committed in the middle of a coaching change. Did Pelini have them on the radar? Sure. Still a nice job by this coaching staff to keep them interested, and committed. Missing on a couple key prospects late, is for from "whiffing on everyone" in the area, and those two kids from Kansas are probably going to Clemson whether it was Pelini or Riley in charge..... Both Fant and Bubak were coming to NU until this staff messed it up. You seemed to miss out on them in your mentions. So no biggie we let the best two kids leave because we wouldn't call them back. Ummmmm.........that's a total whifffff???? Bubak was off as soon as Riley got Jack Stoll. Hughes missed on Fant & Riley tried to mend that, but in the end NU wanted Fant as a DE & Fant wanted to play TE. Fant also turned into a Drama Queen at the end of the process. I wasn't to disapointed when he chose Iowa. I would rather take a guy like Englehaupt who will do anything to help NU & has no doubts about where he wants to play football. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Both Fant and Bubak were coming to NU until this staff messed it up. On this week's OWH Pick Six podcast, Sam McKewon said those guys were Hank Hughes recruits, and that's a big reason why he's gone. Quote Link to comment

Warrior10 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It didn't matter who was recruiting Bubak to this offense. He didn't want to put his hand in the dirt and block. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I don't blame the staff for Bubak. Fant was mostly on Hughes though. Either way, whoever ends up at the DL coach spot needs to 'croot and develop like we haven't seen in a long time.
