FWIW he has a CB to Oklahoma from a OU insider on 247.

Totally agree. It makes way too much sense, and not simply because he's a Black guy who played here. There are dudes who know Austin personally who seem confident that he'd go a long way in mending fences there.They need to unleash Greg Austin on Omaha.
That was 100% my thought when they hired Castro-Walker. That's a young, Black dude who presumably has as part of his duties making sure guys who don't have a lot of experience living in a city like Lincoln feel at home and welcome. Ron Brown probably wasn't cutting the mustard there, either because he didn't want to be doing that sort of work or due to being older and more conservative.Ya, I think they did something to help correct it with hiring that guy from Arizona as a babysitter.
But somebody said Woods didn't like the idea of coming here because he was the only black OL. Now his coach is black is what I said.
I know Jay also said on multiple occasions that you go to Lincoln and there is snow everywhere. In more ways than the stuff on the ground.
Also there was the incident last summer that involved racism that I never heard what it was exactly.
All I know is like it or not it is the environment we are in and you have to get ahead of it.
Well Frost has made Bo look like Saban this far so it'd be fittingWhat a shitshow this recruiting class is. If we dont win at least 6-7 and show some promise on the field, this class is gonna make BO's final years looks like a Bama class.
The program doesn't really offer them anything anymoreTop Omaha recruits have zero interest in the program...that's a problem. Clearly there is a disconnect. If this would of happened with any other coach in the past 15 years fans would be irate. But it's the old QB so it's cool.
Right, that's a problem.The program doesn't really offer them anything anymore
FWIW Riley Ducker wore a Cockeyes shirt to the Millard North vs BW state final... i think its starting to become fun/a game for these kids to try and rile up old Husker fans.I'll preface this by saying everything is ultimately going to hinge on how this season goes. I can't remember a more obviously important season going into it than this one. Turn the corner and show real improvement? Recruiting will right itself, because this staff has already shown they're good recruiters. What we're seeing now is largely a consequence of Covid disproportionately screwing Nebraska (visits, etc.) and the losing catching up to the staff by removing most of the UCF/Oregon sheen. Put any of that sheen back on, and we're cooking with gas again. On other hand, continue to stagnate or even regress? The wheels will really fall off, and this in-state class will be the least of our worries.
All that being said, I maintain that what we're seeing is unprecedented in Nebraska history. We've been explicitly eliminated by three of the top four players, and the fourth is Micah Riley-Ducker who has already scheduled three officials to other schools and given no indication he's actually seriously considering DONU (plus he has the famously anti-Nebraska stepdad). Insane.
Seems like it. Hard to blame them. I'd get sick of hearing about how I should go play for a perennial loser who doesn't put players in the league too.Right, that's a problem.
I'd heard that a couple of times. My understanding (someone correct me if they heard different) was what they were unimpressed with is Nebraska just didn't seem very interested in general. I know nothing about the dad. Whatever the case, the result is going to be Riley Ducker isn't going to have any interest in Nebraska either.The douchebag step dad doesn’t help either. Isn’t he mad because we didn’t offer his son who went to Northern Illinois?
Yeah, it's the dad of Jevyon Ducker who we passed on in favor of, presumably, Will Nixon (and probably a bunch of other dudes who would have gotten an offer in front of him).FWIW Riley Ducker wore a Cockeyes shirt to the Millard North vs BW state final... i think its starting to become fun/a game for these kids to try and rile up old Husker fans.
Also Damon and Cuckster Johnson (huge omaha youth mentors) sure aren’t trying very hard to point these kids to NU. The douchebag step dad doesn’t help either. Isn’t he mad because we didn’t offer his son who went to Northern Illinois?

Next years haul looks more promising. Mav Noonan, Gottula, and brahmer with offers already. I’d say we have a better than decent chance with all 3. Any others im missing?My understanding is Clester and Ducker have definitely "poisoned the well" at Bellevue West. I would be very surprised if we get any BW kid to commit as long as Frost is here.
I think its more Clester than Ducker from what I heard. I don't know either one of them though. Just rumor mill.My understanding is Clester and Ducker have definitely "poisoned the well" at Bellevue West. I would be very surprised if we get any BW kid to commit as long as Frost is here.
