Steven M. Sipple: Brown dived into recruiting, and found a pace accelerated by transfer portal

Steven M. Sipple, Parker Gabriel and Chris Basnett break down the hires of Mark Whipple, Mickey Joseph and Donovan Raiola, among other Husker topics.

Ron Brown experienced what he described as an "abrupt adjustment" to his routine.

He hadn't been on the road as a Nebraska football recruiter since 2014, when he was the running backs coach for former Husker head coach Bo Pelini.

That all changed last month. Suddenly, the 65-year-old Brown, a senior offensive analyst on Nebraska's current staff, once again was part of the recruiting fray.

His life's pace accelerated dramatically, he says.
