My hot take is Damon Benning is part of the problem not the solution with Omaha kids.
He has tight relations with a lot of schools and probably knows a lot of the kids one way or another.
Anytime an Omaha kid doesn’t get an offer, Nebraska offers late or leaves the state he tries to underscore an issue. He’ll try to open up wounds and pour salt into them to give him more power to speak on them for views.
It feels like there is some sensitivity around pay in the RB room, and bringing in Brown at the price other schools are offering would upset the entire room. So, we could add Brown but we’d potentially lose Johnson and others. And I don’t think the staff rates Brown as an upgrade over EJ so ruining the room isn’t worth it.
We’re going to try and recruit him in a way that doesn’t piss everyone off.
