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.

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!!!

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

Riley's national reputation by pundits will influence recruiting

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

So tired of delusional preseason talk. How about a winning conference record and a bowl win.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
