so......no commits for 2017?

I though we had a kid from my home town Beatrice, Cameron Jurgens. Kid is a beast, he's also good at basketball, seen him dunk it more then a few times. He's also a very good LB.

He's a 2018 commit, I believe.

I believe he is of the recruiting class 2018. In case you were wondering.

We offered him last year when he was a sophomore. So I think that makes him the class of '18.
 
Riley and his staff are better recruiters than Pelini and staff. But not by much. This year's recruiting was B- material. The failure to recruit a single defensive tackle will come back to haunt this staff in two years. And even though we got Farniok we desperately needed another quality offensive tackle. Games are won in the trenches and this class was very average in that regard.

And zero recruits yet for 2017? Count me among those who still think Riley has a long, long way to go toward restoring Nebraska to elite status. A good start would be to not lose 7 games next year. He seems very good, over his career, at producing losing seasons. So despite the sunshine pumping of posters like HTO and Archie, I remain firmly in the unconvinced and unimpressed camp. So far Riley has done zilch. Slightly above average recruiting and a losing season. That is what I see. Everything else is hype and hot air.

Prove me wrong Mike Riley. Please

A fair question. tOSU has 11 so far, and UM has 5.
Maybe they're all silent.

Riley better start sleeping over at recruits homes. Maybe he can claim dibs on the top bunk. We should all start bitching now cuz Riley should have this class half filled out by now. And not with those crappy 3 star recruits. He needs FIVE STAR STUDS cuz that's what Harbaugh and Meyer are doing.

Damn. Now, I'm more angry than ever! Why sign these 3 star losers when our competition is blowing us out of the water with their all-star studded celebrity extravaganzas and here we are doing squat?! Man, here Saban is over signing every year and pruning the dead weight (read: 3-star losers) every year! WTF is wrong with that wannabe Riley in his puny girly man 21-signee class?!!

He only let ONE stinking position coach go. FIRE THEM ALL! We all know that the only reason they still have jobs is they are butt buddies with Mikey. Fire Riley now and get a real coach that isn't a perennial loser. I can't believe I ever gave this crony hiring, bald headed, cap wearing, smiling m-t--rfu--er any slack at all.

Thanks to all Bo-ners and realists on this board for setting me straight. Hell, Mikey should have his 2018 class half filled out as well. If not, then we know the answer... this program is going NOWHERE! Fire the bums!

What exactly have I suggested that is untrue regarding our staff?

1) I gave the class a solid B grade. Sounds like we are on the same page there.

2) I noted our coaches made the decision to only take a DT if he was a stud. I never said I agreed with that decision.

3) Another OT would have been nice. I agree. Though I'm glad we saved the ship if we didn't like what was left.

4) Silly to be worried about 2017 commits right now.

5) Win more games? Ground-breaking addition.

HTO and/or myself haven't said anything else except that past results in a given context aren't necessarily a predictor of the future in a new context.
 
I haven't heard anybody say that until now. So in the past if it walked like a duck, smelled like a duck, quacked like a duck it was duck. However now if it walks like a duck, smells like a duck, and quacks like a duck it isn't a duck?

OK...I guess "these aren't the droids we're looking for" then if you want to put it like that

I assume you're responding to me. If so...

Then you're either stupid, haven't been paying attention, or some combination of both.

I understand that not everybody agrees with the coaching decision, and everybody has a right to an opinion... But it sure gets old reading it again and again.

Is it really too much to ask for people to give the coaches a little more time before skewering them?
Yes.

So we are actually now gloating that a 2nd year recruiting class for Riley ranked #25 on rivals? What was our final rank for other services, honest question.
No. We aren't. Unless you see someone in this thread bragging about it...
 
The OP is a shot at those who were constantly moaning about our low ranking BEFORE the recruiting season ended. Why aren't these posters moaning about 2017 yet? What's sad is this attempt at humor actually got a response from the crowd that was maiming about 2016, and now, a week later, are already moaning about 2017. Pretty amazing, really.

The OP? It's sarcasm, plain and simple. Shouldn't be surprised it got a response, but I am.

It also tells me that some have wanted to post something negative about 2017 but were afraid to, and this facetious post opened the door for them to pounce.
 
Well, I have not stirred the pot recently, so I was due.....Lurk

Really, though, I just clicked on our 2017 commit page and found....nothing. Am I worried? Not really....but I will be in two months....

Spartan, my post was not directed at you. I have never felt like you stir the pot to make waves... Us yorkies have to stick together, even if I was only there for 9 years...
