Cornhusker Juan on had a post on Twitter that wasn't well received by a lot of Husker fans.  Juan came up with 21 players who he would recommend move on from NU in the offseason.  His list by position is below:

 

QB - Purdy, Haarberg

RB - Yant

WR - Shawn Hardy

TE - Chris Hickman

OL - Hunter Anthony, Michael Lynn, Bryce Benhart, Brant Banks, Ethan Piper, Alex Conn

DL - Mosai Newsome, Nash Hutmacher, Ty Robinson

LB - Garrett Snodgrass, Seth Malcom

Nickel - Javin Wright

DB - Noa Pola-Gates, Tyreke Johnson, Braxton Clark, Tamon Lynum

 

On offense, I agreed with all of the guys mentioned, except for Haarberg.  He is still a project, but he might be worth keeping around and a good QB coach will enable him to develop,

 

On defense, Robinson is still a starter, and while he hasn't been amazing, he still is a starter and would at least add decent depth.  Hutmacher is dependent on what type of defensive front is going to be used, because his only value is at nose tackle.  Wright is currently a backup at Nickel, but has been passed by Gifford.  Other than those guys, I agree with the rest of the guys.

Offense: 

Tagaloa

Grimes

Weaver

Conn

Hardy

Yant

A QB

Lynn

Hickman

Anthony 

Defense:

Lynum

Malcom

Black

NPG

Snodgrass

Clark - ?

Johnson

Applewhite and Busch I wouldn't count as Frost guys....Beckton has shown well in recruiting and TE production. 

Has he?

Semi-unfair question because his prize recruit to this point has been injured repeatedly. But outside of Fidone.....

Recruiting: snagged a few Neb kids (Hickman, Rollins, Carne) that are likely "N" with any competent coach. Vokolek transfered here but pre-existing ties to the program. He gets a lot of credit for recruiting Georgia kids at other positions, but have many of them turned out? Snagged another project in 2022, one who didn't have an offer from his in-state Big10 school. 

Development/Depth: He turned Allen into a stud, great job there. Vokolek seems to be a quality P5 TE, but not a game changer. But we have absolutely 0 depth behind him to where we are forced to play an 200lb transformed WR (Brewington) and a 210lb below average walk-on (Boerkicher).

I think Allen last year makes people think this room is better than it should be in year 5. 

Are there any places that rent out single game spots, besides the PBA lot? 

Thanks

This is nothing based upon facts but I don’t think he will be here after this year. This was a Tuioti project. He is going to have to show a lot this year. 

I agree. 

Family huge OU fans. Setting up a visit there. CB to them from OU 247 guy. 

Supposedly Callahan put in a prediction for N.

I think people make too big of a deal about things they happen to see infrequently.

 

He played a total of 19 snaps in the last 8 games last year.  Barely two per game.

Eight of those were against Minnesota.  11 total in the other 7 games.

 

Yep people act like the coaches were running him out there half the time.

I'm going to recycle this, Mav. +1

Pretty good list of possibilities.

 

Kind of surprised at least one OL didn't leave already.  Or another WR.  I think Butler (OLB) is a possibility.  Or a DL now that we've added some.

I wanted to throw WR in there but felt like I'd just be throwing a dart at the board. Handful of names would fit the bill there. 

Don't see the new Poly DL kid hanging around but not sure he'll transfer before fall camp. 

Can't see Butler leaving. He seemed to turn the corner, in multiple ways, and is set for major PT in 2023 if he can keep progressing.

This list is about as accurate as it could be. I'd go Lynn, Stepp, and Malcom first. Then Conn and Johnson. Believe it or not, Lynum is progressing very well from a physical standpoint and Fish loves having him.

I believe it on Lynum. He's the type of kid you want progressing his early years, it's more just a testament to how much/well Fisher is stocking that room. Lynum, along with Clark, are guys I'm rooting for but also wonder if they have the natural talent to beat out the Hill's, Buford's, Brown's, Newsome's, Williams'.

Wright posted a few weeks ago that he was medically cleared. 

 

Yeah he's been medically cleared a time or two and hit some setbacks. Wishing him the best though! 

Plenty of options yet. 

DB: NPG, Johnson, Lynum, Wright (health)

OLine: Conn, Lynn

LB: Malcom, Snodgrass....neither probably likely

RB: Stepp

He could have put in for transfer. Just now announcing it 

I believe the schools had something like 2-3 days to have them formally into the portal. At Nebraska that would be caught and reported by the media within hours. However, at Illinois there is a chance there isn't quite the media focus and it was missed/not reported till now. Or it was reported and we are just now seeing another report of it. 

Or I could be completely wrong on how long the school has to formal enter them.

So not immediately eligible? 

We should an interesting long-term piece with a RS in 2022. But we need to win in 2022.

Apparently Lamar Goods’ visit is scheduled for later this month. I wonder if we slow playing him.

I think we are.

Wonder what we are saying we will shell out for the 25th overall transfer....

Do we care? 

Just now, Decked said:

Holy hell. Please god. 

USC the favorite however 

Yeah just saw its supposedly a done deal with a "massive" NIL deal. 

Jordan Addison in the portal. Every program in the nation will be after him,  hopefully Whip can be Mickey's foot in the door.

on3 expert Gerry Hamilton drop a 55% prediction on Mathis for Nebraska last night. Says Nebraska has a 98% chance. At least some positive news. We can hope!

 

So there's a 55% chance that there is a 98% chance that he is N?

Surprised he even went through Spring practice to be honest.  Been here 4 years, never saw the field, and graduated this past winter.

 

 

He didn't go through spring practice fwiw.

Mathis is visiting next week. Seems like it’s still a Texas/NU battle with the edge to Texas. 

Time to find out if we want to be a big boy in the NIL world.

Thanks.  Out of curiosity, the distance between Lincoln and Omaha is 58 miles.  That's clearly in-state, local kids playing for Nebraska, especially since it's the only D1 program in said state.  And isn't Omaha like waay bigger than Lincoln?  

Without looking it up I'd estimate the Omaha Metro to be about 3x the Lincoln "Metro".

Out of curiosity, where were those four from 2022, and the other three of the top 18, from? If that's easy to pull up, I'd like to see it.

2022: Bell West, Bell West, Omaha Burke, Omaha Central (not sure this one should even count)

Other 3: Omaha Westside, Bell West, Omaha Burke

I mean I would love for you to tell me or show me how throwing more money at the situation has helped Nebraska post Tom Osborne.  Tom made like 160K a year and took us to and won us National championships and Frost at 7 mill a year initially has won what's he at now 5 games?  Now it will be interesting to see if Frost has more success with his pay cut and new staff.

What high horse am I on? explain that. 

I do not think that it is unreasonable for a billion dollar company to pass on some savings to the consumer that keeps them afloat. I mean, if I go to a game with 5 bucks in my hard and a runza is 3 dollars and a pepsi is 3 dollars that means I am going home with 2 bucks. But if a Runza is 2.50 and a pepsi is 2.50 that means the university can potentially take  my whole 5 dollars instead of just 3. So I do not understand how lowering the price to attend a game is a bad thing. IF lower the price can lead to people spending more money or saving money. But I would need a big brain like Lorewarn to explain to me "about a business doing what's good for business" cuz I'm nota smmart maan. (Forest Gump voice)

as far as high horse goes you seem to think your opinion on the matter is pretty valuable. In my opinion though you used a lot of words and said nothing. 

Take $6 next time.

Dang that sucks, any idea why?

No, just the rumor on 247.

I mean he committed sight unseen largely due to TT and now he's gone, I'm not suprised. 

Rumor he's portal bound.

Despite earlier reports that we were recruiting him for defense, he told HOL that we're looking at him as a tight end.

A 6'4 260lb TE seems odd.

Hope they take it step by step and in a couple years they're hangin tough.

I think they'll be alright. The founder of 247, Shannon Terry, is the new founder of On3. They got a couple other high profile guys from 247 and Rivals, like Chad Simmons.
