Could be better than it initially was going to be if we retain the current commits. Already got a nice LB recruit we wouldn't have.

Wendy Bider

Excitement...Intrigue...and wanting to be a part of a positive change. Doesn't matter what you're going into...that's exciting for anyone!!!

Couldn't be worse

Might attract a high caliber QB knowing there is somewhat a change in style and OC.

telling recruits of a more positive direction the program will be going to from here

Solich was the worst, Bo wasn't much better in Recruiting.

Riley's national reputation by pundits will influence recruiting

Jay Safford

I don't think it will affect the recruiting class. Students commit and de-commit all the time up to signing day. We lost a few at the last minute last year and it always happens. We will be just fine!

Gene Baker

The system Riely runs will draw NFL hopefuls. Especially on the offensive side of the ball.P

Need to get use to recruiting to nebraska. No top recruiters on his staff so far.

Christian Bengel

Naturally it's going to hurt. Unless we end up pulling some previous commits from the schools these coaches are leaving, there's no relationship of current commits to these coaches. Not rocket science. However the fact that everyone has hit the ground running to get a staff in place certainly will make some difference, however it's not like these kids are going to be playing for a huge name coach. See more of a negative than a positive.

the best recruits already have relationships built.....

We had a good class going and Riley has never shown to be a good recruiter.

Riley has no impressive celebrity status with highschool (and college) players perhaps outside OSU. Nobody knows the guy because he only wins about half the time. Players who have never met him or researched him are not impressed so why be interested or stick around?

Kent A. Lang

Because Husker fans are living in the 90's and think if the NEW coach acts like TO he will be TO. Doesn't work that way. The Ant-Bo will drop 2 of the first 4 next season. Bank on it.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
