Rivals on the verge implosion?

Rivals news and recruiting coverage blows. People only join and stay for the message boards.

It’s gotten pretty bad. This current lineup there is strange. I kind of feel for Robin. Great opportunity on paper given that HOL is one of Yahoo’s top Rivals sites. But, man… comes at a cost.

I still can’t figure out Matya. Except that I don’t think I’m missing much by not hanging out with him.

Mike Matya had a sobering three and out. Sean posted in the thread saying ‘this is all Mike.’
That thread is going as I would have predicted for rss. all the sunshine scrollers are coming at Mike with pitchforks for writing what they are calling a “smear” piece for simply giving an honest opinion on the state of recruiting. Incredible

Its a pump site and he released a smear trash piece at a strange time leading into a fresh season.
 
I fully expect Clouse to be hired by on3 for their Nebraska or at least Regional site. They know Clouse has a following and at least name recognition to pull people over or peak interest.
Nate’s opportunity to be hired would be much better if he even showed the slightest personality over the years. He comes across incredibly robotic, and that just doesn’t play as well in today’s world.
 
Can you give some cliffs on what he said that was “smear trash.”
1. Need some wins because Frost is failing at turning this program around.
2. No Rivals250 this year for Nebraska recruiting. Here’s our competition’s recruiting in the 250.
3. O-Line is okay for recruiting. Still waiting for some commits from the visitors, but Greg Austin is doing a good job of stocking the pipeline.

Seems reasonable. It’s not much of a secret that recruiting isn’t going well right now and Frost needs to show he can win games.. People constantly bitch about the staff posting sunshine over there and then get pissed when they don’t.
 
It wasn't a smear piece at all. The only thing I learned from ITT is that those who are pissed with the article didn't fucking read it. It was an honest assessment and said basically it's time for Frost to win.


At the end of the day with the Huskers, there is simply not one new question that can be asked and there’s not one new conclusion one can come to. Why this off-season is the most frustrating in recent memory and seems like the longest even though it’s been the shortest, is because every one of those good questions that need answers are valid but there’s no way that anyone can give you an answer until we kick off this fall.

What is there really more to talk about? What question is there left to ask that our staff needs to answer? They’re all asked and we are awaiting an answer that we won’t get probably until big ten play.
