Very good point - guys that drag it out until the end seem to get more attention than the ones that get it over with earlier. It seems like we have some very highly rated guys (Raridon and POB for example) that are less splashy because they have been committed for so long and there is no drama.
Me either. Have any extra rope?
It's not the loss of DF so much as loosing him to the despicable Univ of Lville and their two crooked head coaches......Petrino and Petino.

Eh. I think people read the tone of your posts differently than they sound in your own head. As for "getting reamed"; just brush off the hate man. It does no good to let the give and take of a message board eat at you.
Back to recruiting talk. I do see where your concerns come from. We have missed on a lot of our "Plan A" guys. Second place in recruiting is the same as first loser. Being in a guy's top four probably just means you wasted more time on him than on a player who never returns your calls in the first place. I, for one, was way more bummed out about Anchrum and David Reese than Dez. We could use another tackle and Reese has a natural nose for the ball. But the commitments from Dismuke, POB, Farniok, and Tre Bryant are huge gets, and they are all "Plan A" guys. They show that the staff can, in fact, shoot straight on recruiting. Raridon and Brokop are also great gets but I can't give credit to Riley since they have been committed since the old staff. The point is that focusing on the ones we didn't get isn't really productive. I can argue that every one of those guys is a better use of resources than Dez. This year is still looking good without him. Considering that we went 6-7 last year; I think our class looks solid. We have addressed our poor depth at corner and safety. We'll sign four high quality o-linemen. And we are bringing in four defensive ends. All things considered I give Riley a B+.
Its always better to have another great player, but we aren't exactly barren at WR (we return our 4 leading wideouts). DPE and Lavan Alson will be returning from injury. Keyan Williams is also coming to the program and won't even cost us a scholarship. Not to mention, Derrion Grim and JD Spielman are both super-high upside guys. Sure, it would be nice to get some bigger bodies. But Dez alone doesn't overhaul our receiving corps. Besides, Tommy is the part of our passing game that worries me in 2016. The pass catchers will do well.
Lastly, I don't think Dez was a must get, and missing on Dez doesn't make Isaiah Simmons a must get. No player is a must get. If losing one guy totally screws your class, then the class was crap in the first place. Overall, I'm very happy with the class and I'm looking forward to Jackson's announcement tomorrow.
To the second bold part...exactly.
To the first...yeah, they committed before Riley showed up but I wouldn't assume that NU didn't have to "close" them again because I would bet a lot of money other programs...programs closer to home...certainly tried to flip them.
Rairdon as a legacy committed to the school so you could argue no coach gets a perk for that one.
Brokop the staff had to recruit because early on in the Riley area there was a great deal of uncertainty until he met Cav.
Oh and agree on the second bold too.

My bad...forgot about that. Well shoot....we just need former huskers to keep having kids!
So if Riley would use Petrino's tactics he would be a GREAT closer in your eyes? Somehow I think the answer is yes. :facepalm:
Quite a leap and assumption there yeah? Lol, everyone continues to tell me to chill out yet every post continues to be someone jumping all over me just because of an opinion I have.
Good posting! Look forward to more of your thoughts.
I would give Riley more credit than you might for keeping kids that had previously committed to the old crew. It can be hard to keep those commits intact after a hard staff breakup. Look at how many oral commits backed out after Callahan was fired.
As for some who seem to be constantly negative, if they are feeling some heat coming back at them it should be expected. On a fan message board, fans will be fans.
Thread isn't about Simmons. It's about Dez. But, hey, people are just jumping on you because of your opinion on Riley closing, right? I mean, if going after Munson on Simmons in a Fitz thread to prove a point about Riley's closing capability isn't trolling, I'm not sure what is.
