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.

as long as it works

Larry Johnson

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

Steve Rentzell

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

Danny Purcell

taking full advantage of college rules

Ron Graf

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

Tom Cullinan

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

Richard Johnson

No interest in 7-on-7.

Dan Larsen

Live in Dayton, Ohio! 800 miles one-way.... but I am a season ticket holder. See you during the season.

Ryan Goecke

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Dave Kapke

I live in Colorado

Kent Haynes

I can see both sides. But it is losing a tradition.

Bruce Craig

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

Robert Lloyd

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
