How about this one: only two skill position starters are Riley commits. Spielman and Stoll. Additionally, only 3 skill position players on the 2-deep are Riley commits. Lindsey, Allen, and Ozigbo.

He didnt commit until after the coaching change, but yes he was recruited by both staffs.
Gebbia is yesterday's news, the future is Bunch! Have faith - Bunch will shine!
How about this. If we didn't have Pelini/Riley recruits blocking for the skilled players. They would have got blown up.
The are all Huskers playing for Frost & that is all that matters.
That may be THE worst statistic I've seen about the Riley years. And there are a lot of desultory stats from that era, so that is saying something!
Another fact, Wilbon and Justin Jackson were both recruited by Nebraska. Pelini chose Wilbon, and Jackson went on to Nortwestern to be I believe their top one or two all time rushers. I know he gashed us several times.
4 defensive starters and 4 2nd string defenders were riley recruits. 8 out of 22 doesnt sound so bad, except he had 60% of the classes that are eligible.
He was fortunate, what kind of miserable numbers he would have put up here at Nebraska with Riley’s commitment to the run? Probably averaged 37 yds/game with a 2.8 rushing average.
If he comes out, throws for 400yds, 5td's and is the hero of the game there might be something to the old saw about "panties" and a Bunch after the game.

Hmmm. There's a bunch of panties in my glove compartment? Thats the only one I can relate to but not sure how its applicable here.
Piss and moan if you will, RIley recruited Frost.....
