I’m not going to be surprised if there are lots of transfers, but once again, I don’t understand it because every team is going to be in the same boat. 

true - however kids that are impatient to play will just go down a couple notches so that they can play - similar to the recent departures from NU.

@BigRedBuster Got anything better to do?

Yes discuss the current staff and the 150+ players that are preparing for OSU

lets finish this discussion in 2024

This is one of the major reasons why I have a problem with some people in the Spielman thread saying that Spielman was no big loss and now we have guys like Manning who are better. Manning's talent doesn't do anything for us unless he is out there producing on the field. There are already doubts about him being able to get out there for the first game. 

 

I hope Manning is able to play, and I hope he is a star. And for his sake, I hope he is okay. But it is foolhardy and premature to look at a recruiting class and suddenly be dismissive of someone like Spielman, who was on the field for 3 years and did produce in a big way. 

Attitude means something and one of those guys didn't have it 7 days a week - we will see in time if that number goes to 2.

looking like we are 2X more likely then those other teams!!!

Wow is Omaha now part of Iowa - some of those questions took some real high IQ's

Reimers is going to be a stud here.  I think the young guys that left were homesick and Covid didn't help - but seeing a guy like Reimers as a current walk-on probably helped these guys decision to go back to lesser schools in Florida.

Not seeing it - he wasnt even the best rb on the field for ISU. That attempt at leaping the defender in the 3rd quarter looked like a young kid trying something he saw on tv for the first time. No thxs.

“I'm hoping the Big Ten is going to have to modify their system to us.”

If you stated the big ten west you would be accurate.  going to be awhile before OSU has to - atleast 25 days or so....

Ya we need them to be able to create mismatches with LBs/DBs so that the defense has to commit to stopping them which opens up other areas of the offense to take advantage.

I hope you didn't just say that the pass opens up the run... this is nebraska playing big ten football.

It's not even. They are better than us. It's cherry-picking stats.

So win total is now a stat that is considered cherry-picking?  just wow

and as mentioned above head to head is the ONLY thing that matters in this conversation

I had heard that JD was not pleased with how Wandale came in and was getting plays designed around him and getting a lot more touches than him. That was early last year and while I don’t think he would have been an “or” with Wandale he may have felt Wandale was getting the role he should have.

At first glance JD was a top 3 WR talent.  However I think Lubbick and company are really wanting 2 big receivers on the field at all times.  With that said it would be hard to put JD in front of Wandale.

I have pondered if praise by the staff (Frost) over Wan’Dale lead to JD feeling alienated or threatened by this upcoming seasons usage for him. 
 

Would love JDs skill on the field, but gut feeling is this is addition by distraction.

There is a lot to this.  JD was rumored to be so so on being a husker and wandale is over the top excited.  It's possible that JD was going to be a OR here and decided to finally jump for what felt like greener grass.

Mr. 129/130!

I'll go with ccoach speak over some dumb ranking based on random stats - actually would prefer to go over current results but we are a few weeks away from that.

The panic was conjured from our collective PTSD from Greene, Gray and Francois

That is a valid concern with the trend you mentioned - however these are the times where all programs have started to see more transfers and it will continue as long as the system is the way it is.  Nu has also benefited nicely from the transfer portal since last season so it is a win win for all.  When guys don't see a culture fit or a path to early playing time they will consider that path.  MF probably sees that we will use 6-8 receivers often and he will fit into that group.

age based curfews happen from time to time

Solich probably would have been much better off taking a head coach job somewhere else and let someone unassociated take over after Osborne, then after high expectations forced that guy out, come in as a savior with lowered expectations. But, who would in their right mind, turn down the keys to a corvette if offered. 

He probably also learned from a couple mistakes and didn't do those things at his next gig.

Sorry, are you asking my opinion of how I thought Mills looked in the first four games, or are you asking me this because his issues where similar to how I described Johnson's? 

Nice answer - the question was pretty straight forward

I am with Big Ern on his ranking as of this moment, I didn't see anything special with Johnson when he played last year.  Now, he didn't play much, but when he did he didn't show great vision or quick lateral movement.   I realize I am nitpicking on a freshman, but I like to see a more natural ability to move fluid latterly, hitting holes and always be moving forward.   With that being said, I am totally with you on Thompkins, I so hope he is healthy.    

How do you think mills looked thru the first 4 games?

It would be nice to have jd's talent on the field - his desire to not be here may make it good that he is gone.  MF would be a disappointment if he doesn't make it. However, AB should be a stud from day one and the Michigan transfer could provide nice relief if we have a injury issue.

OK...I'll be the one to ask, why is Minnesota pulling away from him by reducing communication?

 

Are there grade issues?

Sounds like AD has lost the excitement of going to minny. Good chance that staff has picked up on that are moving another direction.
