Like I said really nice work by Ja-vee.....thanks for the shout out Ja-Vee....
Agree, and it speaks well of our AD.
And actually a positive reflection on Pelini. While he wasn't a dead man walking, after Wisky he had to know he was on shaky ground and yet kept working.
Regardless of what you want to think of the hire, our AD handled it quickly and efficiently. And he hired a guy who got right down to business as soon as he walked in. As far as avoiding a drop-off in recruiting for one year is concerned, SE handled this hire perfectly.
Agree, the way things went down at NU seems to have worked a bit better in recruiting than how it did at UM or UF. And agree, Pelini and staff should be commended for sure here, as well.
Couple more thoughts:
First, obviously nothing is a given until these recruits sign on Wednesday......
Second, I think this reflects well on the University of Nebraska and the football program itself. Even though there wasn't much time after the firing for NU recruits to jump ship (or be poached), they still had opportunity to do so before Riley was hired. None of them immediately did. It would appear they were committed to the school/football program. Riley's job was to sell himself and his staff, he did not have to sell the school. He failed with only one recruit, DE Jones.... not bad, if you ask me.
I hope that is my image of them at Nebraska too....![]()

I hope they get to them before the chase starts! ;o)
reading this makes me think of that "little giants" movie. "Blow the whistle, blow the whistle!" Hopefully opposing rbs are doing that for years to come. D-line and O-line signings might not be flashy but they'll be the ones to get us back on top.
Who is #2, Gurley? I'd rate Ameer ahead of him.
- Dan Hoppen <s>@</s>danhoppen Mel Kiper just said on ESPN Radio that Ameer Abdullah could be the third best running back in the draft. <s>#</s>Huskers
So RR, Still probable 4 slots? lost track of where we are at again.
