Bo Pelini and Nebraska have a new closer that is tough to top when it comes to recruiting. That would be the "cat" in @FauxPelini's Twitter photo. Pelini joked with BTN's Mike Hall that the cat was influential in landing this year's recruiting class during Wednesday's "Signing Day Special." The cat did make a few "recruiting visits," after all, according to this tweet. Watch Pelini talk about the cat in this post.

Here's what Pelini said: "I tell you, my cat was with me every step of the way. I don't go anywhere without him. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today."
