Never heard of this player or situation. Can you please enlighten Husker Nation about the circumstances with his recruitment? Thanks. Winking
I don't think the previous staff ever offered him. Frost came in and gave an offer soon after he was hired.
Frost tried to fix the situation as soon as he landed in lincoln but too much damage was done. They basically ignored a power 5 player in their own backyard.
At what point do we stop looking backwards at the old coaching staff?
They laid an egg. Missed on a lot of things. New staff in to clean up. Look ahead, not backwards.

hard not to when its the ONLY football game on TV...but your right, wont be any more power 5 players getting out of border. Piper, Henrich, Hickman big red bound!
They didn’t ignore him, they brought him in and flat told he he want good enough to play here.
Chryst is a massive tool. I was rooting for Miami.
I want to beat his *** so badly.
Yet they went all in on the York kid who sits over at Iowa Western if I’m not mistaking.
Smiling mike and babbling bob, the gift that keeps giving
Some can shrug it off and say that it’s time to stop blaming former coaches and such but their poor decisions can hurt for a few years after their departure. I try to avoid that stuff myself but completely understand the negativity towards them.
I think the season starter was 348 pounds. Did this kid get hurt or was he too heavy?
Played 10 games as a true freshman at Louisiana Lafayette.
Previous staff felt like they only needed 1 DT so they went with Mapieu over Williams. We would have been fine with either one. Not getting either is what hurt.
Sagapolu (sp?). Season ending surgery. Also Garrett Rand has been out with a season ending injury but he may have been out the entire season.
I love the "let the past be the past crowd"...like are we only supposed to talk about **** going on right now?
At this point, it may be water under the bridge, but as long as Williams is playing for a rival in our division, it’s hard to say it’s time to look forward. As much as I wanted Riley to succeed, and believed he knew what he was doing with regards to recruiting, this appears to be a huge miss.
Edit: so happy to have Frost on board and know that misses like this are a thing of the past.

Patience grasshopper. It's only 8 or so months from now when this team goes on its own payback tour. Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Iowa are going to get it in a very bad way in 2019.
They chose the kid out of York who was a question mark academically and less polished over Williams. To them, it was an either/or situation rather than taking both kids. Riley's staff was a lot like Pelini's in that they didn't respect the level of Nebraska high school competition and at the same time, often times settled for less talented players, and a few more talented but lazy players, from out of state.
Right, would rather get table scraps from out od state than the best pl
Right but that means you suck at talent evaluation. Kids accross the country play against diff comp. Film is a part of the evauluation. I know the broadcaster last night said williams was already one of the strongest people in the weight room at wisconsin! You know how big of a statement that is??? He prob squated more than NU d lineman as a senior in HS!!! Not good enough to play here they told him.smh
If Riley & Co didn't respect the level of Nebraska high school competition then why would they have offered & accepted Mapieu? I don't think it's been determined yet which player is more talented or has more work ethic between Mapieu & Williams has it?
Also, even if one is more talented than the other doesn't mean the less talented player sucks.
I thought Riley wanted William's but was over ruled on this by Diaco and that quality control guy.
I thought I might have heard that. But in any case, the kid looked adequate..... especially for a freshman
I think they saw a lot of raw potential in Mapieu.
