Recruiting effort & this staff

I don't think so, but does that really matter? Dismuke did visit back in March -- months ago -- and didn't commit right away. Why place that same expectation on all the BRW visitors? If they aren't already on the *reported* commit list, it's not as if they are no longer being recruited, or that we're out of the picture.

Some recruits visit and commit right away. Clearly that's not the case for all, or even most, I'd venture.

If you want to talk about early recruiting results, why not take a look back at how it went when the summer is over? First, their efforts are ongoing: the national satellite camp tour is just getting started, and I'm sure a lot of that will be laying groundwork with prospects for far off in the future. Second, whether someone commits in May, June, or July -- does it matter? They will still be summer commits in the end.

It kind of does matter when I am speaking specifically about BRW.

So you're judging Riley as whole based on the results of two weeks of camps?
 
Are we judging Effort or Effectiveness? It seems pretty clear there is more effort being placed on recruiting, but the jury is still out on effectiveness. I for one am happy to see the level of effort AND attention to detail this staff is putting into recruiting, I am willing to wait to evaluate the class at the end to evaluate how effective their efforts were.

 
I'm not certain whether we are actually seeing more effort or just better PR, but I'll judge them on their effectiveness.

I'm just disappointed that 2 BRW's didn't land more commits. Nothing more. Nothing less.
 
The bigger the recruit the harder it is to bring them in. If we win, it will get easier. Remember, these kids were not even born yet when the Huskers were in the national picture every year.

 
Two 4* kids in the past few days. I'd say the new staff knows what they are doing recruiting wise.

 
When was the last time that we had this many quality kids committed this early? I think this staff is doing a pretty good job selling themselves and the program since they haven't even started their first fall practice here yet.
