I’ve seen a screenshot of the group. It’s circulating. Now, that could be BS. 

Unfortunately, Dylan had to change his number after that leak because of idiots reaching out to him.

The Athletic had an article about in state QBs in May and it had already been a few months since he'd heard from us. Dunno what the deal is, but yeah sure seems like he's just not on our board. Maybe he's not enough of a jerk for Whipple, who knows.

 

Plenty of fans aren't going to like it, but QB is the one position where I don't think you can take an in state kid just because he's decent - you have to get your guy. That would just be easier to stomach if there was a clear guy for 2024 over Kaelin (do we even have any other QB offers out), and if the recruiting rankings agreed with Whipple on Watson over Flores in 2023. I expect Watson to get a bump, but we might be takng lower rated out of state QBs 2 years in a row without even trying for the in state kid. Time will tell whether those were the right calls I guess.

Our QB room this year is 

Thompson Jr

Purdy RS Fr

Smothers Soph

Haarberg RS Fr

Torres Tr Fr

Next year without attrition you have. Now if 1 leaves say Smothers for Example because he wants to play you still have 5 scholarship QBs. 

Thompson Sr

Purdy Soph

Smothers Jr

Haarberg Soph

Torres RS Fr

Watson Tr Fr

Now when this young man would get to campus we would have

Purdy Jr

Smothers Sr

Haarberg Jr

Torres Soph

Watson RS Fr. 

We have plenty of time to find a QB to put in the 2024 class or find a transfer like Purdy who would be a RS Fr when he first arrived.

I think he'll do well there in Freeze's system. That said, there's no telling how long Freeze will be there... a big-time program will give him another shot soon.

I would gladly welcome Hugh with open arms if we crap the bed this year

If Notre Dame thinks they're too good for anyone still, leave them out in the cold. I don't want to miss out getting someone else good because waiting on Notre Dame. 

Bingo, take Oregon and Washington, let the Pac12 implode faster than it already is.

As a football fan, I agree.  I can't stand playing Fordham or McNees State.  Those games are nothing more than a glorified practice.  I want games against major programs every week.

However, our top programs will still be trying to get into a playoff system and competing against teams from other conferences (SEC) that literally plays nobody worth a toot in 3-4 OOC games padding their records.  So, unless the selection committee is going to recognize that Big Ten schedules are a lot tougher and realize that a 1 or 2 loss B1G team might be better than others with better records we are only hurting ourselves on the national stage.

Agree completely. I personally like the pod idea. If we are at 20 schools 4 pods of 5 if we end up at 24 do 6 schools per pod. Play everyone in your pod and the rest are out of pods games. You then seed your pods for the final 4 and have a mini playoff to crown the conference champion who gets an auto bid to playoffs.

Regarding conference games. I'd be THOROUGHLY disappointed (and I know my emotions don't matter) if there was only 9 games played. The conference is too big to do that and the fact that you'd play some conference schools only 1 time out of every how ever many years is stupid. Especially with TV driving the bus here. No one wants to see crap games, that's why they are loading this up. Prime Time games during all time slots and no snoozers. No one wants to see Nebraska vs Fordham. Hell, no one wants to watch Nebraska vs Buffalo. 

 

What's the point of being in a conference and only playing USC 1 time in 15 years or whatever it may be? 

 

If were seriously loading our conferences, everyone needs to throw out ANY traditional way of thinking regarding schedules. My guess is it would be conference or league games only. Which is also why the Kansas State's of the world need to be ridiculously scared.

you could see 1 OOC game and rest conference honestly, or a type of spring game vs a smaller school etc. Once these conferences to to the 20-24 range they won't need the NCAA anymore and you could argue they already don't. 

I would be more bummed about this if we didnt have Ajay Allen in last years class. We can honestly skip RB this recruiting cycle.

You must be new here.  Corn, farmers, walkons (wide receivers who can double as coaches on the field are a bonus), literally anyone who is new to the team this year (coach or player) and former players (especially ones who come coach here whether they are actually good at coaching or not).  Those and Kool Aid are the favorite things in the lives of Husker fans. 

Laughs in Ryan Held and Greg Austin

he thinks more highly of Farmer than most....

Tier 14 exactly my point he led the big 12 in touchdown passes and yes his stats would have been better if he didn't hurt his thumb but come on Tier 14 no respect at all.

he sure seems to have a better resume then the rest of the guys in tier 14....

I think you can.  But they can't join the team until second semester.  So you have to have someone who's willing to give up a season of football.

doesnt it basically put them in the following class as grey shirts are where you go part time for fall semester then clock starts in winter? 

id prefer we go to 16 teams and go the pods route personally.

If the NIL deal is sweet enough, then it would definitely offset some of the cost

 

But to really make that kind of coin that would make a difference, he's not going to be a walk on from Ainsworth

no it would relate to Walk Ons that earned scholarships etc. I am simply saying they could "take away" a scholarship for a guy and he magically has a 40k a year NIL deal. 

1 minute ago, BigRedBuster said:

They already are.

exactly so the 85 scholarships dont really matter. 

what if a guy signs an NIL deal that covers all of his costs for school?

22 years old. 6'4, 300 lbs. Always a good start but I won't hold my breath on being an elite player here. Will def help us though 

we needed impact and depth, I would suggest we got just that with our DL additions.

We only return 2 WRs who had over 100 yards for us last year...

exactly, how many WR do we return with P5 stats and additionally have caught passes from our current QB live?

That one doesn’t make much sense to me.  Maybe replacing Betts?  They are 1 over already… we are apparently trying to get 2DL and a wr?  Who’s all leaving. 

You get a WR your QB already knows, could be worse additions

So you would rather the team that went 3-9 return WITH all those same players and coaches that couldn't get it done?  I thought you wanted change?  What exactly would put you into a "bullish" mood?  Maybe a little Marvin Gaye remix of Sexual Healing set to a video of Tom Osborne riding a Husker Red unicorn through the A gap?  Just brain storming- really thinking outside the box trying to help.

I am optimistic with our changes but would still like to see this if you dont mind. Thank you

Can we give the D a rest and focus on the O now? Always need a good O to finish strong.

sometimes it takes longer and other times it never arrives.....or so I have heard 

is it against the rules to just place roughly 350lbs of idaho potatoes at DT?
