This surprises me a little. I don't know ANYTHING about his coaching abilities, but it is good to see Riley and Co. thinking outside the box and respecting Nebraska history.
Marlon Lucky is the reason I no longer follow recruiting very closely. I was really high up on him. Like you said, he was solid but not elite. It is hard for me to get excited for 18 year old recruits now. So much can happen in 4-6 years.
I don't follow recruiting very closely, but such is life. If you can't handle that some called him a "lock" and he didn't commit it says much more about you than anyone else. It means about as much as recruiting stars and unicorns to me.
