can Riley recruit with a 2-4 record?

The guys that are killing it for Michigan weren't recruited last year and Harbaugh will bring in a good class this year. Michigan HAD recruited very well the previous 3 years to last year and THAT talent is very good. All Harbaugh needed is a QB and somehow he is making the Iowa transfer look very serviceable. It helps that Michigan had recruited O linemen VERY well a couple of years ago.

Yes, he did have two good classes that are upper classmen now...but Harbaugh is doing an amazing job.

I posted several times when he was hired that all he needed was a QB. I'm surprised at how well Ruddock has managed their offense but that offensive line makes a big difference. Harbaugh will close the hole from last year's recruiting class quickly.

Agreed. I think he was the best offseason hire. Of course, he may have Michigan admin, fans and media hating him in three years, so who knows.
 
with a 2-4 record you can tell recruits, they have a legit chance to start right away.
and mean it…(depending on the talent of the recruit) instead of being buried in the depth chart at ohio state or bama
 
Maybe he doesn't get 20-25 carries a game, who knows? But I would say they would have gotten the ball in his hands in the passing game as well. Either way, he would have gotten his yards and hurt the opposition.
Of course Abdullah wouldn't get the carries he got last year. This staff is too much in love with the passing game. As inaccurate as Armstrong is there's no reason to believe Abdullah would get more touches.

Another longtime lurker deciding to post now... I am shocked that the only posts you have posted are negative!

FYI, we've had 216 rushing attempts on the season. Knowing what we had in Abdullah I am confident he would have gotten the bulk of the carries. I'll do the math for you... That's 36 carries per game. AA averaged 20 rushes per game last year. In other words, AA gets the carries.

Any other brilliant statements from you?

Negative? You mean realistic. With the way this staff has played a puzzling musical chairs, I wouldn't be so sure. GPR is still trying to put a round peg into a square hole with calling for all the passing with a guy that can't throw.

He may have played hurt but a hurt Abdullah > any if our current backs by far. Impossible to say whether how many carries Abdulla gets with this staff but i wouldnt see any reason by he wouldn't get 20-25+ carries.

Wisconsin's second team > than Nebraska's. Not having a healthy Rose-Ivy, Bandaras and Freedom is a huge blow to an already thin front 7.

I actually think Newby and Weber are playing far better than MRI and Banderas. Would have been nice to have Freedom.
 
How does 2-4 effect recruiting and therefore a 62 year old coaches shrinking tenure?

If this garbage season hurts recruiting + the fans diminishing faith in this staff + current player skills not matching Riley's scheme + Riley being a senior citizen = how does this all end well?

If we would've hired frost, his youth would generate excitement + his scheme would've matched current players + would've had Oregon type ideas RE: recruiting + his youth and homegrown status would've allowed for a more patient fan base = eichhorst did a poor job playing this thing through in his head

Yes, Callahan did it.

No, I mean negative. Realistic would acknowledge that the coaches would recognize the proven starter in AA and not be playing musical chairs. The musical chairs are a result of no one else getting much playing time the last 3 years. If you were being realistic you would acknowledge that. But if you're negative, you would say what you said. Try again.

You're giving this staff too much credit. lol
 
Recruiting can be successful regardless of your record. There are many examples, especially when a new staff comes on board with all the excitement.
However, you have to have a lightning-rod recruiter on staff. Given his recruiting history, I'm not sure if MR and crew can pull this off.
 
I haven't said anything wrong. I guess it's against the law to speak out about incompetence.
Nah... Lots of people have done that. But not exclusively, like you. Your constant negativity is getting dangerously close to trolling territory. Of course, this is just my opinion. So what do I know?

Yeah I'm a troll but it's OK to bash Bo incessantly on here. I agree Bo wore out his welcome but this staff with its adult professionalism is a national joke. People on here will follow GPR to the end of the Earth.

There's not going to be very much excitement if we continue to lose. Hopefully we can turn it around because the games will keep on coming.

So why do you care, go find something else to do, why come to a message board and post your crap. You don't support the coaches or the program so why are you here, go find another team or sport to follow. It really is that simple. Coach Riley is here and will be here, do you honestly think that is going to change because people like you. We have made an investment and it will be three years minimum even if we are struggling this year and next. He needs players bad and at least he is still working hard recruiting, guys like you would throw there hands up and say we suck and quit. You are a quitter. Things are not good everybody knows that but at least these guys are still out recruiting and coaching and actually want to be here. Can't say the same for you as a fan......

It's a message board and he has an opinion. What's the big deal. It's funny how your level of fandom is judged for having an opinion. Everyone here are die hard Huskers and there would be no reason for them to post if they weren't. I think the big frustration no matter what side you are on is our relevancy. We all want to get back to the pinnacle and at least win a conference championship. Some people have differing opinions but the fact remains we all want Nebraska to be the team we know and love. GBR.

How do you know what I do or don't do? Do you give money to the program? I bet you do! lol
 
SEC, location, location, location ...

How many top flight recruits were also from MS?

How many top flight schools are in that location? It's every bit as hard to recruit down south as it is in Lincoln. You have 15 other football schools right in your backyard going after the same guys.

I don't know what you do or don't do and I don't think you do either, furthermore I could care less, I hope your rants do you good because they won't do the situation any good. "Do you give money to the program?" Yes I do. So what has that to do with being a troll? Run back to HPH.

We'll see what happens when the stadium is half full. We should have a minimum of 4 wins but GPR bungled it with his great experience. I want a staff that knows how to win. You think this staff knows how to win? I'll answer for you---NO!

Look, I wouldn't be against this staff if we were 5-1. They continue to try to force a round peg into a square hole by passing the ball with a guy that can't throw.

Yes you could care less but I couldn't care less what you think so please stop responding to me. I don't know what HPH is so stop responding to me.

Sure, your a classic HPH poster. Will do, might be a good idea to get an appointment with a mental health professional.

The problem isn't that he's posting opinions on a message board... Go to each post he's posted. He is littering all the threads, and 98% of it is garbage. He starts a thread about how miserable the passing has been the last two games. That's fine he can do that. But then he posts in other threads, "Why don't you check out the new thread I started?" Are you seriously gonna defend this and say it isn't getting close to troll territory?

And everyone here is a die hard husker? That is probably the funniest thing I have heard yet. Seriously, no people posing as husker fans just stirring the pot, huh? They're all die hard husker fans? Sorry for thinking this, but HuskerClassic is, in my opinion, a poser. His M.O. is to populate as many threads as he can with his negativity. And so far, he has been quite successful.

You keep typing it, I know you're waiting for someone to ask, so I'll play. What does GPR stand for?
 
Gomer Pyle Riley

People like to type that stupid HCMR. It should be GPR. Only Gomer could bungle 2 sure wins (BYU & Illinois).
Figured it was something like that. So HCMR is inaccurate how? Why does it bother you so much that people type that rather than his name?

Who said HCMR is not accurate? I didn't did I? Can you comprehend what you read? I said HCMR is STUPID. We know he's the head coach. Some idiot copied it from another board and some idiots picked up on it here. I like GPR because it fits.

I'm really just mocking HCMR because it's stupid. If they're so lazy to type Riley, why not just leave it at MR?

I think a persons play makes a difference whether they're playing hurt or not and the degree of their injury while playing hurt. Not knocking Newby or Weber, they're doing great. But I do believe part of MRI and Banderas' problems are that they're playing hurt.
