Right team #moneybags. But naw, it's because for the first time in like 20 years, the countries best want to play for Mike Riley, and at Nebraska.

When I was growing up in the 90's Nebraska was an elite program. Them, FSU, UF, Michigan, OSU were the elite schools. Like Bama, OSU, FSU, Clemson are now.
Nebraska I believe is the last team to win back to back titles not named Bama.

Nebraska being good is good for football. I hope some of these kids they're getting help them compete at the top of the B1G. Fuq Michigan and what not.
Can't say I think that Nebraska paying some of the countries best to play football for them is good for college football, but that's JMO.

Mike Riley had plenty of Cali connections too, I think that was one of the reasons cited for him getting the job. So the better recruiting doesn't really surprise me. I think part of the reason for the accusations starting was the hashtag their new DB coach used. Something along the lines of #money or whatever. It was weird and not a smoking gun, but we all know that the bag men are prevalent.Ya, you guys keep saying this, but do you have actual reason, or just sour grapes?
Is it that crazy to think a traditional power in the Midwest, that hasn't won a title in a while, could possibly get recruits without paying them? If that's what you think, then we better look in the mirror.

I think it's a combination of a great marketing campaign (Calibraska), a fanbase that is by far the most social media savvy and the hiring of Donte Williams to close em. The bags of $$$ is just current recruiting poor taste lingo that far too many are using. "PlayingForEnvelopes" "Grab them stacks", yeah, too many to list.

What do their fans do on social media that's so savvy compared to others? Just curious as I don't follow any other teams/other teams fans.
Personally, I think something fishy HAS TO BE going on, if Bobby D is offering a 5'9" corner.
That's not the proper profile.
Come on. Has Riley ever been dirty before? Is it so crazy to believe a kid might be sold on the notion of playing for a traditional power, against some of the best out there (OSU, Michigan, etc). And we all know how persuasive Diaco can be. Without a little more evidence than clumsy tweeting by an assistant this just feels like butthurtism.

Take Two returns with a daily offering tackling a handful of issues in the college football landscape. Rivals.com National Recruiting Analyst Adam Gorney lays out the situation and then receives takes from Rivals.com National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell and a local expert from the Rivals.com network of team sites.
Brendan Radley-Hiles has been a longtime commitment to Nebraska, and there are no significant signs that the Huskers will lose out on the ultra-talented four-star cornerback. But there seem to be some cracks as his senior season moves forward.
The Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy standout who’s originally from Southern California recently visited Clemson. And Radley-Hiles – a big-time winner and competitive kid – has said really positive things about the Tigers.
After a recent game in California, Radley-Hiles said he would also like to visit Florida, Texas, Notre Dame and maybe Oregon, and he will absolutely return to Nebraska as well.
With the Huskers losing to Northern Illinois this weekend and a bevy of top-level programs with excellent defensive back tradition chasing Radley-Hiles, does Nebraska have anything to worry about when it comes to his commitment?
Or have coach Mike Riley and a bunch of assistant coaches including Donte Williams done enough through the recruiting process to convince Radley-Hiles that Lincoln is the right place for him?
FIRST TAKE: NATE CLOUSE, HUSKERONLINE.COM
“It’s never an ideal situation when a team has a commitment taking visits to others schools, and that’s the situation Nebraska finds itself in with Brendan Radley-Hiles.
"The level of concern is high since Radley-Hiles is the top-ranked commitment for the Huskers and has played a large role as being a peer recruiter, but I get the sense the fans are far more concerned about the development than NU’s staff is. Bookie has a terrific relationship with head coach Mike Riley, cornerbacks coach Donte Williams, receivers coach Keith Williams and pretty much every other coach for the Big Red. I know he’s been very transparent with NU about wanting to take visits, which I suppose is a good thing.
"However, the bottom line for Nebraska is that they’re in a battle with some big-time programs to keep this big-time prospect on its commitment list, and that won’t change until he signs in December as an early enrollee.”
SECOND TAKE: MIKE FARRELL, RIVALS.COM
“Yes, there is concern. Mike Riley is going to be under heavy scrutiny if they don’t turn this thing around. They don’t look anything close to a team that could even compete for the Big Ten West, much less a national championship.
"Clemson is the one to worry about. The way that defense is playing, it looks like it is just reloading. It looks like it could beat Alabama. The Nebraska fan base is really sort of melting down after that ugly loss, and they’re the type that really pumps up recruits and the kids really like the attention. One game doesn’t mean anything, but he’s already thought about looking around before, and this could continue his interest in other programs.”
Eichorst out as AD of Nebraska... does that mean their coaching staff is next?
If they don't start winning - yep. And guess whose name is all over Twitter as next HC?
Dan Mullen.
crazy sh#t but could you imagine bob stoops at NEB? saw his name floated around by someone
