Ummm... 

I was told he gave the coaches a verbal commitment over the weekend. Guess he got cold feet…literally lol.

Supposedly a guy to watch. Would definitely be a good addition.

Hixson shouldn’t start at UNK let alone at Nebraska.

That’s what everyone is saying on 247

All 4 gave the coaches their word over the weekend. Now I like it better when it’s public so no cold feet happen. Lol

Nesta will be public soon enough. Bank on it.

Supposedly he was here this weekend 

He’s the last of the 4 who committed.

It was a good weekend in Nebraska.

There is a lot more news coming.

Was a good weekend in Nebraska.

Rumors that Purdy is in! Oklahoma tried a last pitch but it wasn’t enough.

Wow at this point who isn’t in the portal?!?!?

Let’s take a step back and compare what we lost and where they ended up.

Very telling how respected and good a coach is by his next stop.

Lubick: not coaching anywhere, maybe back to a credit union?

Mario Verduzco: Not coaching anywhere, most likely retiring.

Greg Austin: OL coach at Florida International.

Ryan Held: Offensive Coordinator at North Alabama.

That’s indicative at how bad this staff really was.

IMO every new coach is a big upgrade, with Raiola being the biggest question mark.

Like to see how other than Raiola everyone else was replaced with proven and experienced coaches.
 

I know it’s common with transfers to show in the directory, but I like this!

I understand the hires of Joesph, Whipple, Raiola and Busch.   I am trying to understand the hire of Applewhite.  Can somebody help me understand how Frost landed on him?  Does he have something unique he brings to the table?

I’m guessing frost likes his experience and track record of developing his RBs.

Never understood the love for Held.

He was a decent recruiter and a horrible coach. His rotation made zero sense and didn’t develop s#!t.

Applewhite has shown way more than Held in his coaching career.

Does Chubba even have a committable offer at Oklahoma right now?

With Dart coming in for a visit he has to be at the top of their list.

Wonder if who ever the RB coach ends up being will also have Running game Coordinator attached to their title.

Could help with offering more money if need be.

Wonder if Jeff Nixon could be a target for RB coach? He will prob be out of a job after today with the Panthers. 

Sharp and Benning confirmed Casey Thompson is on campus today for an unofficial.

Minnesota’s leading rusher and MVP of their bowl game. Get on the phone ASAP!!

When the news broke that Whipple was hired by Nebraska Coach Whipple was sitting at Brock Purdy's kitchen table. This was always the most likely guy who was going to be our new qb, the question was wether he would be the only one.

 

If it’s a Purdy and Thompson combo I’d call that a giant win in the recruiting book.

The QB room instantly gets better, let the best man win the job and build depth.

Seeing some smoke on Twitter that Purdy will announce tomorrow for NU. 
 

Any truth who freaking knows at this point. Lol

Purdy does at least have some pedigree.

He was the number 7 dual threat QB for his class on 247. Smothers was number 14 in the same class.
