    I agree fully. The days of waiting 4 or 5 years for a high school athlete to mature and blossom are nearly over. Nowadays the thinking is find a guy with one or two years left and plug them in.

    In the words of every Star Wars character “I have a bad feeling about this!” Vince G is one of those hard nosed players every team needs. Very smart and athletic and unfortunately going to Montana not Nebraska.

    I’m thinking with all the D backs we brought in that some of our current roster will find their way to the exit door. We brought in four already and maybe one more on the way.

    After the Supreme Court told the NCAA hands off on players benefiting from NIL it seems to be the wild wild west for college sports in general and football in particular. What got SMU on the death list is now the way of the football world. There will be an even bigger divide between the haves and the have nots in the next few years. Hopefully there is enough money in the coffers for the Huskers to rent a few O and D linemen.

    Singer/actor “Meatloaf” passed away yesterday at age 74.

      Oh my gosh! I didn’t hear that! I liked his music.

    I have said this before here but it speaks to the reality of college football. It was either the first or second year of the Frost Era. The S and C coach was quoted as saying to the group of kids in for weight lifting. He said “ It’s my job to make you a stronger better football player but it’s the coaches job to recruit over you.” We have seen that happen in the last month. New coaches and better recruiters with a sense of urgency have found arguably better players than we had. Now it’s up to last years players to learn the new playbook, get stronger and faster and show they are serious about competing.

    Not sure if you are tongue in cheek here since I didn’t see a “sarcasm “ emoji. AM gained a lot of yards on his own but it seemed we had issues many times getting the running backs positive yards in the red zone. I’m hoping that improves.

    8. An O line that can be serviceable for 100 yards and not just 60 or 70 yards.

    If we add another DB to the team I think it’s safe to say that several if not more of our current DBs will transfer. It’s a good coaches job to recruit over current players. There can be no waiting in the que for your right to play.

    With all these portal transfers it looks like we are trying to Michigan St our way into the top twenty. Fine with me.
  11. TonyStalloni
    Indiana and Auburn both picked up QB transfers in the last 48 hours and both were in the group of four Casey Thompson declared were potential destinations for his services. That leaves Nebraska and Missouri and it appears the Tigers aren’t pushing too hard. I guess we’ll see if another school jumps into the picture.

    What is the last day to enroll at Nebraska for the spring semester. I thought I heard January 15 today. That’s cutting it pretty close if true.

    It just seems like ESPN has too much sway in who makes the playoffs. Let’s say Pitt was undefeated and played a one loss Clemson for the ACC CFG. If Clemson wins do you thing Pitt would get a sniff at making the playoffs? Same way with Ohio St if they beat Michigan. Does Michigan get a shot like Georgia did this year? It seems only SEC teams have the easy road in and ESPN has the most to gain.
  14. TonyStalloni
    Why in the world was he playing the last 37 seconds? We needed free throw shooters in and he had only shot ten all year. Plus he’s not a ball handler. So he gets fouled and craps the bed on both shots. Make both and we win. Make even one and there’s a good chance we win.

    It’s great to see O lineman Hunter Anthony from Oklahoma St chose to transfer to the Huskers. He played yesterday in their bowl game win over Notre Dame

      I agree.  And he's going to help this line for sure.

      I DVR'd that game but haven't had a chance to watch.  Will give me something extra to watch for.

    Maybe Wandale can do us one more favor and beat Iowa before he goes pro.

    Rutgers kinda got the shaft by getting the nod at the last minute to play in a bowl game. Props to them for giving it a shot. wF was a little to much though.

    Our defense kept us in every game this year. Fix our O line and special teams play and this team can be much more productive next season. ST alone cost us at least 5 games last year.

    He said he would probably announce his decision January 2 but is planning to play in Okla St’s bowl game.
  20. TonyStalloni
    I only got to see the last ten minutes of the second half. My observation was based on what I have seen in past games. Usually a step slow and allowing the other teams to get to the rim.
  21. TonyStalloni
    It just seems we have a group of players that can’t/won’t play defense. Are now finding out that other teams do play defense and contest shots every play. I’m betting most of our players played AAU ball. Our players refuse to learn what other teams players have. That has to be laid at the feet of Hoiberg. Maybe his stint as an NBA coach ruined him for college coaching. I’m befuddled, perplexed and verklempt!

      If the 14 or so players that signed today stick around and we get 4 or 5 out of the portal we should be ok.  If not we are constantly reshuffling with new players.

      We had a small class because we AREN'T shuffling a lot of new players this year.

       

      Yes, we should get a few more from the portal and possibly yet a couple more HS kids in this class yet.

      The excuses being given for why it's a small class are just that: excuses. When you have a small class, you should be focused on quality. This class should've been comprised of primarily 4* with a couple high 3*. Do you ever see any top-tier programs taking a year "off" of recruiting for ANY reason? Heck no.

    Hearing (rumors only) that USA Today is printing a piece this week about a Nebraska basketball scandal. Gosh we can’t even cheat well enough to win!
  24. TonyStalloni
    Could these two announcers be a bigger “Hoover” for Auburn.
  25. TonyStalloni
    I honestly don’t know what Fred could do at this point. The team realizes they aren’t good to put it mildly. They aren’t excited to be on the floor.
