Eric the Red Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Nebraska coach Mike Riley tells paper he is creating department focused solely on recruiting “With the advent and use of social media in recruiting, we need somebody doing something 24/7,” Riley said. “We’re in the process of putting that together to help us in the acquisition of talent.” 6 Quote Link to comment

Making Chimichangas Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This is so completely awesome. I can't even begin to put into words how great this is. 1 Quote Link to comment
huskered17 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Clemson is a front runner on this type of recruiting. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Good. NU doesn't lack resources, it just needs good players and coaches. Let's get the hype train started. Quote Link to comment

darkhorse85 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just hire all the keyboard warriors on Twitter that praise recruits then bash them when the commit somewhere else. Those guys are already experts and would certainly have a hand in landing a top 5 class next year. No doubt about it. Quote Link to comment
Huskerzoo Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Very much needed, though I'd be interested in hearing how they plan to fill a full time role/division with this. I think it's a fine line between having active and engaged staff like we have currently and a "hello fellow kids" mentality. I have no doubt there's a way to get it done and we'll find a way.

mnhusker Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Nice move, to be sure things don't fall through or to just make sure the staff can keep up with the constant changes. Quote Link to comment
Frostberg Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This might help in getting coaches out of the NFL. The guys who love to coach but hate to recruit. Quote Link to comment
Elf Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This might help in getting coaches out of the NFL. The guys who love to coach but hate to recruit. I might be wrong on this, but I don't think this recruiting department is going to eliminate or even reduce the need for coaches to recruit. I'm pretty sure the NCAA has rules on how many people and which ones (coaches) can be in contact with potential recruits. Quote Link to comment
Ric Flair Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 This is so completely awesome. I can't even begin to put into words how great this is. And long overdue. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Nebraska will be separating its recruiting operation into the existing player personnel department and a team that focuses on "acquisition;" that is, guys who look specifically at how to promote NU and attract targets to both visit the school and ultimately commit to it.
