Mavric Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Frost said earlier this week that there may be "a couple more". So possibly Ward and Decker are the last but you never know. We're down to 84 now (assuming Brokop is actually gone). Which is still 7 better than we were a year ago. 2 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I read somewhere that Snyder was out the door, but like Brokop there has been no player conformation. Quote Link to comment

ADS Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Tbh we’re pretty stacked at ILB so not surprising at all we lose one. Quote Link to comment

Honest question. I think we are pretty good with our top 3, but they are also JR's/SR. Edit: Do we even have any scholly ILB underclassmen besides Hampton/Roberts? 1 Quote Link to comment

I think we are pretty good with our top 3, but they are also JR's/SR. Not really. We now have no freshmen - unless Jurgens moves to ILB. We have Pernell Jefferson and Avery Roberts as sophomores that I know of. Which is to say that's what they played last year. It's possible there could be some shuffling. But we'll need a couple ILBs in this next class now. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 I see the OWH has Willie Hampton (RSFrosh) at ILB and Pernell Jefferson at OLB. So perhaps we have one freshman and one sophomore instead of two sophomores. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 "I'm sorry my time is up but I enjoyed Lincoln and the Beautiful fans while it lasted." --Andrew Ward ========================== It almost sounds like he felt he was being forced out. I doubt if that's the case. But based on his thank-yous, it seems like he might not be on-board with the new coaching staff. (pure speculation on my part) In any event, I wish him the best of luck wherever he lands. Quote Link to comment
famoustitles Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 Staff was supposed to be giving their post spring feedback and he probably didn’t see a future here. Which is fine from Nebraska’s standpoint and his. Bestof luck to him. Quote Link to comment

lo country Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I truly prefer Frost's honest approach with the kids(not saying that made them leave), but giving them a no sh!t sitrep of where they fit in or don't. The guy who doesn't work in this system might go on and excel in another. The team is better when it has all the guys pulling the same way, buying in, fit the system and have an opportunity to contribute in some way. A guy who sees where he fits, what's expected and how he can contribute tends to practice/play better IMGO. Regardless of the reasons, I wish nothing, but the best for the kids moving forward.

I wouldnt, and I'm not talking about this specific case. Trick is to find a way to cycle players while making them feel it was their choice. 1 Quote Link to comment

Forcing players out via “pain management” is the SEC method of roster control/turnover, and it’s bound to burn them down the road when the wrong kids get forced out and finger bagmen in retaliation. At at least what Frost is doing (per the reports on the boards, FWIW) is forthright, honest, and no bulls***. After all of the shoveled manure these kids get via recruiting (in general, not from DoNU), a no manure approach is probably welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment
