Showing elite talent is coming. Do you think locking up Cam Jurgens early helped Riley in recruiting? He was a local top 100ish player. Quote Link to comment

It was nice to have a player of his caliber rooming the sidelines almost every week for two years with recruits. It was like having an extra recruiting staff member. Quote Link to comment

Maybe Cam was good for it. Who knows? Quote Link to comment

I just remember always seeing photos on gameday of Jurgens in a circle of recruits, for two years. Quote Link to comment

They were successful at getting top rated players interested. They even had some of those commit. But, Bookie and others started realizing that as much as they liked the staff and Nebraska, they weren't going to win here under them. Ultimately, they want to win. If Riley would have been winning 9+ games a year, chances are, that class would have stayed together. Quote Link to comment

Bo won 9+ games and didn't do well with top players Riley didn't win 9+ games but did do well with top players I hope Frost is able to see what the recipe is Edited April 19, 2018 by StPaulHusker Quote Link to comment

There is also not one situation out there where you could make an educated guess that it would be the case. Quote Link to comment

But he won 9+ games. Imagine if he wasnt too lazy or stubborn to recruit what he could have done if he had better talent on the roster. Riley could recruit but he was too lazy to coach. Imagine if he could coach and won 9-10 games a year and showed progress. Recruiting would have only gotten better. We saw what frost did at UCF and other stops- he is a winner. He coaches well and wins. We have seen so far he has a clear direction on recruiting and all signs point to him being a solid recruiter as well. He puts in the effort. So when the wins come the recruiting will get a little easier. Then the wins pile up and the recruits start to pile up. That is when you become elite on Alabama and Ohio State level. We have not had a duel threat coach in a long time. I think we have one now. Quote Link to comment

Perhaps you shouldn't follow me around and comment on my posts if you're going to just type words trying to insult me or be negative towards me. Which is the basis for most of your comments. It's a bad look. Quote Link to comment
