Way to go Donnie
- Thread starter JOHNNY N
- Start date
I hope he’s able to maintain this ranking moving forward without the help of 5* relatives
And Kong wanted him fired. Same guy who said Cam Taylor Britt would never play in the NFL. Good call dipshit. 
Probably has more to do with his Oline class than it does his nephew.
Being listed as the lead recruiter for the best player in the country isn’t buoying this ranking?
Okay.
Donnie did his job landing DR. It’s why he was retained and awesome work.
I look forward to seeing what he does with his group
Pretty sure the is the highest oline recruiting ranking we have ever had. I didn't know 5* nephew was gonna be on the line.
He’s the lead recruiter for DR. Hence this ranking.
I’m pleased with all he’s done this offseason. Obviously.
I didn't see that he was listed as the lead recruiter. No doubt that makes a big difference.
Either way, he has certainly exceeded the expectations of many husker fans. He was retained because Rhule valued him as an oline coach. DR proved Rhule right. The line got better throughout the year, he delivered a great oline class, and his nephew. Pretty impressive.
"I know what I'm doing"
-Matt Rhule
Rhule having Donnie work in a perpetual contract year tells me all I need to know
Hopefully now that neph is in the door, Don can do what Coach asks of him next
Well, Kong is back and things are back to normal....
It really wasn’t obvious by your previous posts. But glad you are pleased. We all should be pleased.
The bigger question is how long will you be pleased?
Well, it’s the offseason, so the stakes are much lower and words like “winners” and “losers” take on a much more subjective property
If the OL coach’s work helps us improve on the only stat that truly matters (wins), it will continue to please me
YesYou're ... back.
This board was insanely boring while I was away
Astonishing lack of creativity/individual thought
Now that I’m back I suspect you’ll check in a little more often
Also sorry about the ravens. Brutal.
I didn't even know you were back until I read the comments on this thread. Not that it matters, but I did just take you out of the Ignore Hopper, and am hoping YOU can keep yourself out of it. Welcome back.
What about the other high rated players in his position group?
Can’t be true. All I’ve seen on this board for more than a year is how he should’ve been fired a long time ago. How bad of a coach and recruiter he is. This must be fake news.
😂 his nephew is why he was retained. I’m tired of hearing that.
Still skeptical but we shall see. I will gladly eat crow if I’m wrong. Very please with his recruiting efforts and how the Oline seemed to be getting better at the end of last year. I just find it funny that it was after certain “starters” went out with injuries..
You missed my 20-8 run against the spread during bowl season
Posted every single pick here
Wait..you can ignore and then un-ignore people?
This is a post board...who the heck would put in that much effort???

Not a big deal kong, I'm a big boy I can make my own selections. Been doing so for 58 years.
How was my suggestion of hedging your 7/1 Washington v. Michigan to mitigate a potential and realized loss?
That's the voice of 50+ years of wagering. 50% of something is better than 100% of nothing.
I did like your picks when I was playing the $ 50.00 3-4-5 team parlays by a group of board posters, until it petered out.
I felt the potential for a breakout was there but we had a couple guys drop out, so at some point, I just discontinued it.
I know you made a lot of hay last year with Toledo, and I haven't checked my spreadsheet to see which others you did well with, I'm sure you know. Both scarlet and Tuco were very good as well for the overall time we did it.
Like I said last season, Tennessee, K State, Penn St were very strong to cover the week after a loss. I only lost 1 personal parlay when one of them failed. Even that shit team Buffalo covered because the situation said they had to cover.
I'd like to do that for the room next year if the guys want to: yourself, Tuco, scarlet as the first three and then each week I was adding another poster to that group. I wanted to include the guys who were consistent posters and give them a shot at contributing. It wasn't about the token $ 50.00 week, it was intended to get others involved. If they won, the room won. I felt if you guys could get on a real roll, other members could ride your coattails to making some money.
I was told by one of the members, don't remember who, that it couldn't/or highly unlikely not be done playing only multi-team parlays, I proved that it could. I netted a +650% profit doing just that, and expect to be better next year.

They’re good to have and I hope they actually turn into good players but add them up and they don’t garner this placement
I’m not throwing shade, just telling you all why he’s listed there
Definitely not a bad thing
It takes a tremendous amount of effort on my part to Ignore, then Unignore someone.... Takes 2 seconds.
I have never even seen the ignore button!
I usually don't even notice who the poster is.
False. 2011 & 2005 rated higher and that’s just off the top of my head. I’m sure 1985 and many more years higher. Our O-Line recruits in 2024 isn’t all stars like 2011.
Not trying to take away from Donnie. He’s a good recruiter. A really good one. But you are wrong.

Just a flat $ 50.00 to cover for each of those 28 games would net you + $ 600.00. I am a firm believer in standard plays, because as soon as you think one team/horse can't lose, they do, and that depletes your bankroll. Steady as she goes.
This is a great look. The petty bickering is dumb. I don’t think his O-line performed well last year, but he secured a program changing player and improved talent on the OL. There is a reason coach Rhule kept him around, and was proved incredibly correct thus far.
Off the top of your head may not be the best way to go.
It has been reported in several places that this is the second best OLine class at Nebraska in the era.
I am excited to see what these guys can do. You are right, Donnie is a really good recruiter. Now we will see how well he does on the coaching side of things with these talented players coming in.
Donnie has had 1 good class, which is 1 more than I’ve produced and a fantastic sign
But the track record isn’t long enough to say definitively that he’s a “really good recruiter” yet.
I and everyone hope he proves to be just that over a meaningful period of time.
