We have been take personnel from Nebraska for a while now (AD $Bill, baseball coach Rob Childress, strength coach Dave Kennedy, associate athletic director for football Tim Cassidy, defensive line coach Buddy Wyatt, and most recently running backs coach Randy Jordan), but now we have begun to take their recruits. Three-star defensive end Eric Harper originally committed to Nebraska, switched to La Tech after the coaching change in Lincoln, and then switched again to Texas A&M to follow our new defensive line coach Buddy Wyatt.

I find it a bit odd that we have picked up so many guys from NU even considering the $Bill connection. $Bill left Nebraska in 2003. Bill Callahan was hired as the head football coach of the Huskers in 2004. So I would be surprised if any of the football guys were at Nebraska at the same time as $Bill, yet they are headed south in droves. I realize that there were a ton of guys looking for work in Lincoln once Callahan got canned, but the same was true when Michigan's Loyd Carr "retired", but we didn't get any of those assistants. Maybe my buddy Brent from the SA-Morn can crack this one.
