At this point, Palmer is gonna be a steal for someone. He’s just falling because he’s sort of a tweener, size wise. 

He's falling because he is not that good of a WR. His route running is unpolished, he can be tackled by a stiff breeze, and he drops more than he should. . Those kind of players are a dime a dozen at that level. Needed to show more than just speed to teams.

Not in 2023 what?

18-23 year olds in 2023 do not want to play for a coach like Deion. Sure, there are a few, but certainly not in droves. And certainly not for little to no NIL money. And certainly not the type of kids who prioritized the atmosphere in Boulder Colorado. He will have to back off his military no flexibility culture a bit at some point if he wants to retain high level players. 

We are really bad at baseball.

For every 1 kid that dont want to play for Sanders there's probably 2 that do. He's just got to get them there. He will find the mentally tough ones that can play for a coach like him. Todays generation is soft.

Not in 2023.

Yes, we'll see a purge coming soon too I assume.  Colorado losing their 'best player' and top rusher - must be a story behind that.  

It’ll be interesting to watch this play out. Everybody anointed Deion as the one who could bring back old school, tough love, no nonsense coaching. And honestly, I believe if there is anybody with the clout and demeanor to pull that off, it’s Deion. Early returns, however, indicate that todays players are actually not going to accept that no matter how much polish and shine comes with it. As much as I hate it, the “working man’s” coaching style is gone as we know it. Coaches today just HAVE to play the game and walk the coddle line with the athletes. Nobody loves it but it is what it is. Telling young men to get out of weight room for wrong colored socks here heralded as disciplined and professional, but to those men it’s controlling and detrimental to development.  It may work at Jackson State where your athletes don’t have many other great options, but at Colorado the entire package needs to be what’s best for the player in their minds.  And that isn’t it.

Weather maybe not looking as great...mid 50's with possible rain.

This is optimistic as the time draws closer it appears. 

Get this out of the Husker football forum. I'm not interested in reading any more about this mess when I come to get my daily dopamine hit.

Unsurprisingly, the last time Nebraska cracked the top fifty for sacks was Bo's last season. Since that time, there's been three seasons where they didn't even crack the top one hundred...

But where did we rank in the most important stat all of those years? The strain.

Hopefully, we get good enough someday that when the opposition sees a bunch of 1-9 roll out on the defensive side of the ball, they know it's going to be a long day.

There are no words for this.

Not sure why people are finding this funny?  We scored over 80 and played amazing defense.  Seems like it was a pretty solid prediction.    

I didn't "funny" your post, but I assume the fact that its main point was, we need to score more points than they do, is why it draws such things. If you need to pat yourself on the back for the "prediction," by all means, do so.  Understand that to many it appears as if obvious prediction is obvious. In fact, your post actually hinted that Nebraska would need to score more than 81 to beat them as that was the lowest point total they had put up over 9 previous games. We didn't even do that. We did enough to win, it was beautiful. But we didn't light the world on fire offensively. We played offensively in the exact ballpark we had for much of the season and defensively tough as we had all season. Together, we did enough to win. But we didn't magically find 92+ points in that game to secure the win.

I know.  But, it's still frustrating.  Still wonder how things would have been different if Keisei was starting all year.

He had a nice coming out party for sure, but teams are figuring out how to contain him more recently. He will always be a physically limited NCAA player. He's great when there is enough talent to allow him to operate behind the scenes, but his recent trending output indicates we will still need some other legit threats on the court to allow him a role.

Dom & his brother knew what sort of attention his trip would cause ...and honestly I don't think a current coach and an alumni would set his state up to fail like that.  I took their appearance and his standing up and waving etc. as a huge positive.

Agree. They don’t do all this if he’s not N. He is. This media stunt is pretty much confirmation. The only reason he’s looking at us is the culture, family tradition, and because he likes the idea of helping bring back the program under a professional like Matt Rhule. We are the only school that offers that. Doesn’t matter how much better the other programs are. If his motivation was playing for the best of the best. He’s not even taking our calls. That’s obviously not what’s driving him. He will be our guy 2024.

I would think if you are GA and USC, they would be concerned that Dylan’s uncle can continued to talk to him during the dead period. Will this play a factor in his decision? It could only be a disadvantage for the two other schools, not N.

I’m sure they would be concerned but there nothing anybody can do about it. Family is family and you can’t regulate that. Also. He’s not the only highly ranked recruit in history to have family ties at schools. I’m sure there are loopholes for all of the major contenders as well here and there.

Any idea where the Huskers stand with him? He is getting a lot of attention and offers from the big dogs now.

We are the big dog.

He's supposedly bringing Muchachos to Omaha.

Muchachos is meh.

Iowa State's problem on O was they lost a really good QB (purdy) and a great RB the year before.  Their replacements weren't nearly as good.

Ya, but that is still a problem all the same. And it's on the coach to not let that happen.

Not sure the best place to put this, but I just talked to someone that works where Ochaun is working out preparing for the draft. He said he is making gains way faster compared to everyone else and the trainers are laughing about how bad our strength staff must have been. I'm sure that's common in a lot of industries to call out the previous work as shoddy but a lot of smoke that the previous staff was meh.

I don’t buy it as ochaun was only in our program for half a year. Our S and C program may have been terrible, but ochaun wouldn’t be the right litmus test at all. 

Sadly. I think Fred is our best option for the next few years. That said, he’s not going to move the needle in Husker basketball. I hate to sound defeatist. But. Husker football is a long shot to become something again. Husker basketball can never be anything, NIL or no. 

This is so sad because this team went from fun to watch to miserable to watch in 2 weeks. 

It'll be awesome if he chooses NU, but if he doesn't, then he's probably not that good and we didn't need him anyway....

So, we’re up to about 102 scholarships, right?

I think we are applying for a waiver due to the Frost pandemic.
