Does Coach Riley land commit OG Jalin Barnett if he's still at OreST?

Question about Riley more than recruiting.

Or do you think it's because he's at Nebraska and Nebraska is what helped Barnett pull the trigger?

 
Better question: Does Riley come to Nebraska if he hadn't foreseen that Jalin Barnett would come here if he did?

Interesting Riley was able to get the top-rated recruit of the class in just over a month. Can't see what he can do with a full recruiting cycle. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

it's really kinda laughable if you think about it. Regardless of prior connection to the guy or not. Bo had 1 top 100 committ in seven years. Riley's got one in a month. Seriously. And i was on the improved recruiting bandwagon, cuz it was improving, but it still wasnt good enough. And the excuses? Theyre garbage to me anymore. You look what Tim Miles has done, and that is the main reason for my dwindling patience for Bo's recruiting. There is no excuses. And obviously this guy gets it.

 
It is a great get for the Huskers. I am pretty excited about what can be done with a full cycle with this group. If they can continue to relate to the kids and their families good things will come. Oh, and if they can put a product on the field that can consistently play at a high level and not sh#t the bed that will help too!

 
So stars matter now? Seems like this guy might have a work ethic problem and some schools have let off the gas with him. Control your boners.

I'm done defending Bo. But, let's not forget that he did have a very highly ranked RB committed before he was fired. Bo crapped the bed the first few classes. He picked it up the last few classes. This is why we have depth problems but the cupboard isn't bare.

 
As for the original post, this obviously is one of those rare moments when location actually helped us. We then went out and hired the guy this kid had a great relationship with. The stars all aligned and we win.
