spurs1990 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 http://247sports.com/Article/Nebraska-Cornhuskers-recruiting-at-a-high-level-under-Mike-Riley-52341311 I guess I'm not the only schmuck that thinks this staff is a better at recruiting. Best since Tom per Wiltfrong. His last two classes have been the same roughly as Pelini. That right there shows they are better. When you can walk into a completely new environment and instantly pick up right where the last staff left off is pretty good. And they are doing so while leaving a very visible, great impression of Nebraska all across the country.Year three it looks like is about to really take off and leave past coaches 1998 and on in the dust. But, they didn't pick up where they left off. Bo's recruiting was on the decline.Strictly looking at numbers they were similar. Don't argue with me. I'm on your side of this one.Devils Advocate: At best, Bo's recruiting overall was remaining about the same and stockpiling less depth every year. Still on your side of the argument. I think Riley is doing better just about anyway you cut it. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 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.Unless you're a fan of the Sun Belt.Ouch. You still got that graphic comparing recruits by P5 offers? I have no problem with star rankings but I don't think they should outshine the actual market value of recruits. 6 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 It will be interesting to see what '18 looks like. I would say pretty good already Quote Link to comment

That Rileys classes have guys with more power 5 offers than Pelini's Quote Link to comment
Atbone95 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Matty, I love the sh#t out of you, but those stats were pretty telling hahahahha Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Matty, I love the sh#t out of you, but those stats were pretty telling hahahahha Lol. Weren't all of those years from rileys years and no comparison to Bo's? I'll look again. Quote Link to comment
ScottyIce Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Ok, so it was just Bo's final year? Do you have the numbers from his prior years too? Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 They weren't much better Quote Link to comment
Mary Pats BOB Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 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. 2017 #23 / 5 4*s / 20 commits 2016 #24 / 5 4*s / 21 commits 2015 #30 / 4 4*s / 21 commits (transition class) 2014 #36 / 2 4*s / 25 commits 2013 #22 / 7 4*s / 24 commits 2012 #31 / 8 4*s / 17 commits 2011 #16 / 9 4*s / 21 commits 2010 #27 / 5 4*s / 20 commits With that said, hopefully it changes this year and we get that breakthrough top 10-15 class. 2018 MR- 89.5 (so far)2017 MR- 87.5 2016 MR- 87 2015 MR- 86.1 2014 Bo - 84.7 avg 2013 Bo- 86.5 2012 Bo- 87.7 2011 Bo- 88.3 2010 Bo- 78 (lol) 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? Bo's average player ranking 2010-2014 - .8701 (Bo's 78 in 2010 includes walkons b/c 247 included them on 2010 and prior classes. Mav's chart has the corret 2010 average of .8642) Mike's average player ranking 2016-2017 - .8733 (I left off the 2015 transition class) Mike is killing Bo on the recruiting trail!!!!11!!1!!!!!11! Like I said, he is not = to Bo. Also, his classes keep getting better. Bo's sunk. Also, how many baseball players are included in Bo's "standout" classes?Good one! Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Nebraska is so hot in recruiting right now that some how they are ahead of a Tennessee team with the same number of recruits and a higher average recruit ranking on the Rivals site. #NE18BRASKA Quote Link to comment
