The recruiters are going to close strong

Kevin Bolin

Not likely - these guys have never recruited very well. I see this class being 6, 7 or even 8th in the big ten and that won't cut it.

Alan Blackburn

The recruits we have are mostly high quality in abilit!

Terence Knight

This Q asks if there are positive signings upcoming–not currently. Reilly is closing in on several 3 & 4 star recruits and should land them soon. NE has not been w/ the big boys for awhile so expecting 5 star recruits now is ridiculous. Lets just aim for a top 20-25 class this year and build w/ that

Brian Staudenmaier

The 4 and 5 star recruits start developing relationships as sophomores so it's gonna take a few years to really get this machine rolling

David LaFever

Lets be serious...it can't be any worse than Pelini's recruiting and then having a good number of players leaving the program due to him. Look at the recruits that played this year..better than Pelini's starters

Kevin Bolin

really? Are you serious? Or just trying to get a laugh! Pelini's recruits are the starters. Stanley morgan was a peleini recruit - only Reilly recruit to see th efield was the LB and that was due to them being thin there and having injuries.

Del Vanderbeek

Kevin Bolin you are right on, I agree with you. We will find out very soon on signing day just how bad it is.

Steve Peterson

Belief.

Mike Leonard

so much talent in one place

Daniel Conner

I believe that Riley is a better recruiter than Bo Pelini was.This year will be better than last year, and next year will be better than this year. If this doesn't happen, then we will be looking for a new head coach.

Steven Dankenbring

We have the assistant coaches that can get the inner city kids to look at lincoln

Arlie Rauch

Always hoping for the best. A good attitude and some good coaching can make much out of no-matter-how-many-stars a player has.

Richard Stotts

Due to last year's results on the field with the freshmen class.

Love the qb and rbs

Kevin Bolin

Kevin Hamilton

They seem to have stalled and the talent level being pursued does not appear to be at the level necessary to play with the big boys again.

John Nielsen

Riley is in his 60's and Eichorst might not be around NU too much longer. That and the poor record last year doesn't promise much stability or success over the next 4-5 years for recruits.

Ron Ames

Too many important misses.

Rich Stricklett

Haven't had a commit in 3 months

DHUSK

No. Just read this stat. "The Big Ten East division has 52 of the conference's 60 4-star recruits this year" We need to step up our game and start bringing in talent if we want to compete with OSU/UM/PSU/MSU.

Sean Fluharty

All of this talk about what Riley & Co. could do with the resources available at Nebraska, and they have done very little. We need Top 15 classes in order to compete for championships... instead we'll finish closer to 40

Kevin Bolin

You are so right! Look at Oregon St. now that he is gone - they have a much better recruiting class with their new coach then Reilly ever had there. They may even finish in the top 30; so don't try to blow smoke at me and tell me he and his staff are good recruiters.

Matthew James Rowling

Only 15 commits and no OT's

bjb1959

in general yes, this year, not really. I think their focus is on 2017 although that may be a mistake unless we have some great Jems from previous classes (redshirts) we are unaware of.

bjb1959

Gems, not Jems....

James Traut

Not necessarily Riley's fault... times have changed and the Husker name draw is now just so-so. Roughly middle of the pack class in the Big10.

Sean Fluharty

You hire a big-name coach such as Saban or Harbaugh or similar, and the kids will go to Alaska to play for him. Nobody cares about Riley; he's not a hot commodity. It's as simple as that.

Chas Herrera

I don't have much enthusiasm for this whole Mike Riley staff. Seems like a nice guy, but not a successful coach by Nebraska's standards by any means.

Visitor

just average at best

Jonathon Siminoe

We just keep coming up short on the high profile kids so it is a bit discouraging, but having said that I LOVE the fact that we are going after high profile players. I'm very optimistic that this staff WILL bring in the players needed, but it would seem this year we just don't have the draw.

Kevin Bolin

you need to take your rose colored glasses off and see this staff for what it is Riley left the cupboard bare in Oregon st. when he left and he will do so at UN too best not let him stay long

Jared Phillips

No evidence to say otherwise

Dan Janssen

Low ranking

Wednesday Punk

I'm just still not impressed with Riley and staff - Even if the guy recruits at the top of the heap for the next few years, and starts putting together some wins, he will be set for retirement in 5 or 6 years (or earlier if the wins don't start coming), and then we start over AGAIN! GBR!!!

I look for the offense to be one of the best in the country this year with Holgorson as the OC.

I like this one a lot better than the last... I think it'd be cooler it there was a little red mixed in with the white...

Bill Streit

I don't know about everyone else but white Husker wear black the fans should wear black that day instead of a sea red you would have a csea of black shirts black out day

Brett Nelson

Cool, clean design.

Lisa Whisenhunt

I like the clean classic look

Christopher Benson

It’s time to break out of the clutches of pointless and boring conventionalism.

Mike O

As long as the players assume the same attitude of the Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail. It's only a flesh wound.

Jim Eason

Really? Voting on uniforms!? If there were an option labelled "Who Cares?", it would get MY vote. Let's play football!

George mcdaniel

These uniforms look good

Clark Huenink

I like Black, just for one game though

We really don't need an ugly alternate uniform. It's the play on the field that counts, not the uni's.

Doug Einsel

Huskers havent had much luck when playing in alternate uniforms.

ALAN JAIXEN

keep the tradition alive.

Bill Scheef

Please keep your over the top conservative political references off of this site. Be careful for what you wish for...sir !

Chad Alexander

Once again. That's the best that Adidas can come up with!? I see Nike & Under Armor alternate uniforms from othe Univ. that seem to me really cool, like Stars & Stripes logos or school colored camo. Maybe Adidas can hire a designer that doesn't suck? Or maybe the UNL can step out of there comfort

Brian Ostdiek

Just think it could have been done better

David Cole

Scarlet & Cream

Robert Lloyd

Nebr is all about tradition. Don't do it.

Ray D

I've seen better, more creative, black setups from Nebraska. If you're going to spend the effort to do an alternate, make it special...go Oregon mode.

Wade Williams

I grew up in the south, in the 80's. Teams with ugly, all one color unis were SWAC teams, that's what I always equated that with, a lower level of competition. I do recall NU wearing all red against OU in 1987. It came off as gimmicky & I hated it. But if todays kids want it, so be it.

Michael DePuglio

wore black against UCLA a few years back and blew a 21 point lead...and lost.

Mark Rasmussen

Don’t like any alternate uniforms. Stay with the classic NE look
