Husker Recruits?

With Nebraska firing their coach today do you think Coach Chizik will go after any of the Nebraska recruits? If so who do you think Chizik will go after? I wouldn't mind getting Dan Hoch from them and a couple others.

Chizik better jump on Hoch. He's probably the guy we have the best chance at getting.

He needs Harlan recruits for the future anyway.

I could be wrong but, I don't think Harlan has a good record for providing D-1 recruits. All I remember is a full back who played for Hayden Fry and a defensive back that played in the early 70s for ISU. (Yes I am very old

) Not much for such a sucessful high school program. Anyone remember more?

Billy Cundiff is from Harlan, he played some pro ball after he left Drake.

Harlan has had a better recent history than longer-range history in football, so the prospects they're putting out now are getting more publicity than they were way back when.

Dan would be a great grab, his brother Matt, shows more promise, as a sophomore, than Dan did. This isn't sour grapes just an observation. By the way, Steve Jacobsen (70s)and Allan Patten (90s) were both Cyclones.

The 9 NE assistants are there for one reason - to go recruit and hold onto the people till the sherriff arrives in town.

Yea but as the nebraska radio personalities were discussing today, do you really want Kevin Cosgrove along with the other deposed coaches out there talking with recruits?

So they're keeping the assistants on board temporarily? If so, that does seem pretty odd. I don't think I would like that idea. Just have Osbourne call them all and tell them some line of BS once a day until they get a new coach.

I think the idea is that they might want to keep the o coordinator (or at least this is what they were saying today), so in order to keep one coach they have to pay all of them to stay on for 13 more months. The incoming coach can then choose to keep them or release them. This gives that person the option of keeping the o coordinator or what not.

That's still a tough situation, but it's going to be anyway, isn't it? I'm not sure a recruit is going to stay based on what a coach in limbo says.

Kevin is a pretty good talker. However, bing the actual stick of dynamite in this whole Ka-boom would probably mean he should be doing various asundry other duties when the recruits visit.

Remember that Callahan and COsgrove both met at Wisconsin, home turf of some of our favorite coaches.

Let's throw another name out for Lincoln: Barry Alvarez as new Red AD?

Bill was seen tooling down I-80 today in his Lexus SUV heading West.

I think Osborn will stay on as AD, will help in recruiting (personal pleas) and with the staff being paid for a FULL YEAR, they will work hard in hopes they can keep their jobs. It's not a disaster there at all in my view. The culture there is strong as are the facilities. Nebraska will not roll over and go away.

they could recruit harder than any assistant coach has ever recruited before...if the new head coach (when hired) doesnt want them on his staff, they wont keep their jobs. i bet they spend more time shopping out their own credentials than looking for recruits credentials.
