  1. Let's not have a lot of pre-snap penalties and get the ball snapped before the play clock runs out. If turnovers are cut down significantly Nebraska will have a winning record. The offense should average 7 more points a game. This would bring the total to 25 points per game. This gives us 7-8 wins this year. The offense must improve because it can't get any worse than what we saw in 2023.
  2. Army will need 7 wins to reach a bowl since they have 2 wins over FCS opponents. Navy would be bowl-eligible with a win. We are mid 60s in apr. We will not be making a bowl sadly.
  3. Is GM a code word for official bag dropper?
  4. They also hired a new D- Coordinator to be the interim head coach. He has been there the least about of time, so it makes sense for him to take the reigns. As opposed to the longer-tenured assistants that have been with the program.
  5. Northwestern really messed up. They made so many mistakes handling this situation. I also wonder if some admins get axed. 1) They gave him a 2-week suspension. He has a good case to win in court- not saying he will. Because they decided to put a timetable on it and then fire him a few days later. Therefore, Fitzgerald can make the case they didn't believe his actions were grounds for dismissal until the Daily article came out. Why did they suspend him in the 1st place? Especially after they had a 3rd party investigation? A case could be made that NW had enough evidence to fire with cause. 2) They have an amazing journalism school. It is insane the school Newspaper went after him and brought him down. No national news outlets did this- the student newspaper did. Kudos to them for continuing and getting all the details right. With all the headlines and such being a part of journalism, they did a fantastic job. 3) Fitzgerald has a really good lawyer backing him. He is not messing around. I don't see NW being able to get away with not paying him at least something. Here is a link to his bio. 4) Overall, this is a sad state of affairs. I don't see NW ever becoming solid again in football unless they get a really good hire. Fitzgerald has all of their bowl wins. They do have some nice facilities coming their way, but the ceiling for them is Stanford. What great coach wants to come into a situation where you are way behind the 8 ball? Especially with a program that has high academic standards?
  6. There is a very good chance he is not coming here. Would be a solid addition if someone from the RB room departs later on. However, now that most of the class is filling up it would not surprise me to go after some big fish and see what Rhule and co can do. Edit: The second link did not have us in his top 5. I am not able to read the article so I meant to quote that link. My bad.
  7. For the remaining spots, we are looking at 4 or possibly 5 guys yet. OT- we would take both Brix and Tauma. But we may only get one of them. LB- need to add some bodies here. DL- could use a DT to add to the room. Edge- if we can land one this class, that would help. Are there any other positions I am missing?
  8. It could be true he had a top three. Once he released it Bama could have told him to commit by a certain time or his spot would be taken. Since Bama is an elite school that is tough to turn down he decided to commit. It doesn't matter he focused on three teams and decided to commit. It really has nothing to do with any of us. This player got a very rare opportunity and took it. Good for him. Nebraska will have to recruit a different LB.
  9. He may not have known he was going to Alabama. Then, they probably gave him the talk about committing to them, or his spot would be taken. After that, he decided to get his spot and commit. You have to realize a lot of these things are fluid and can change real quick. At the end of the day, these players make decisions that will impact their lives and their future. Another thing could be he was looking around before he decommited and decided that if Bama had a spot for him he would go there.
  10. The thing is he brought in guys to be here longer than one year. It's not like we are relying on unproven freshmen to move the needle. I do hope Nebraska does bring in one more guy and then gives Sam H a scholarship. I am not sure who Nebraska is on right now. Best players in my view *Subject to change as we haven't seen some of these guys yet. 1 Tominaga 2 Williams 3 Mast All of those guys I am putting as starters. Those are the best three players on the roster right now. So Nebraska loses one of the top 3. I can see Allick as a starter for sure. It all depends on what Hoiberg wants to do. I just don't consider him a top 3 guy. Juwan Gary, I would even put in front of him. However, if he is a top 3 guy I believe that means Nebraska is having success because he will be scoring close to double figures along with the 2-3 other guys I mentioned above. Time will tell.
  11. I think this will get all the haters to shut up. He can recruit your kid and date your wife! In all seriousness, this was a quote from a parody Husker account- Ballsack Skers. I can't link it at this time via Twitter. This guy is killing it on the trail. Now, if he can develop them he will be looked at as a steal of a hire. Edit- I do not know how to make the image smaller.
  12. The only seniors are Tominaga and Allick. Everyone else has 2 or more years. I actually think that is a good idea because we have constantly got guys that were grad transfers or only here for a year. This roster will have some continuity going into the next few years that sets Hoiberg up well. If he get can them to play together and build on the 2022-2023 season. Seniors- Tominaga and Allick Juniors- Gary, Uhlis, Wilcher, Keita, Mast, B. Williams Sophomores- Lawrence Freshman/Redshirt Freshman- Rice/ Lloyd Available Scholarships- 2
  13. Got it, thought Ernest was a solid player. He definitely has a ton of speed. I think Nebraska portals for another WR unless it is Bair- who Nebraska will not see for 2 years.
  14. I agree that Nebraska can win 6 games. If Bill Busch thinks Nebraska can win 8, which is a little high in my book, then Nebraska can get to 6. Why getting to 6 wins is important: 1 It will give more reps to the younger guys. 2 Tons of positive media coverage heading into the bowl season. 3 It will give us momentum heading into the next season. 4 It shows Nebraska should be back- to making bowl games at least. 5 There will be buy-in from the new players as the older guys will be listening to the coaches. 6 The schedule is set up for a new coach to overachieve. 7 The coaching has improved because that gets us to 6 wins last year. I am probably missing some reasons, but that about does it. If Nebraska can't get to 6 I am not going to be disappointed, however, it is certainly doable.
  15. Is it safe to say we are done taking WR recruits for this class? The portal could also giveth someone later on as well. Kinda bummed by the fact that Nebraska decided to move on. However, other guys must be higher on the board and the WR room does need to be balanced out some with lots of recruits this cycle and true freshmen that will be on campus. In 2024, the only JR/SR Wideouts are Betts(JR) and Isaiah G.C(SR). Could see Nebraska trying to snag someone with experience like a grad transfer or upperclassman from the portal.
  16. I know there is a lot of excitement with tons of commits recently. But not all recruits are deciding right now. As to the post saying if he is waiting for bigger offers I don't think all players do this. He could be to an extent, but I think he wants to make the right choice between all the schools. It is a big decision for these guys, and being 100 percent sure isn't a bad thing to do.
  17. I get it. But what about our number one recruit right now and the competition he plays against? Saban even flew out to see him. It makes no sense to hold that against the kid. He should be dominating the competition. Once he gets to the D1 level it is about getting them adjusted to the game and developing their game. This staff is more concerned about developing players and their abilities, not the competition. Mods must be snoozing cause he is N
  18. I would add Wide Receiver/TE Quinn Clark and WR Ernest Campbell. Since both of them have visited.
  19. Greg McDermott, Nate Loenser, Fran McCaffrey, and Chris Lowery (NWestern) were all at his games at the Midwest Showcase in KC last weekend. The Iowa State Coach may have been there to see him as well. Nebraska has to get Lincoln guys to stay here. Nebraska can't have CU stealing guys from the Capital city.
  20. I saw a graphic that Jokic had 40-30-20-10. 40 minutes, 30 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists.
  21. Huskers win 3-2 taking the last set 15-10.
  22. Another interesting tidbit is he was born in the States. His hometown is Xenia, Ohio.
  23. Yes, Nebraska has two spots left. They will need to fill them with one player that can help now and probably one developmental player. The team has 4 walk-ons, but I don't see any of them getting a scholarship except maybe Sam H. That would be a worst-case scenario as we just didn't find someone to fill the last spot. There is still some time to get players, but they need to get them sooner rather than later as we are already in June.
  24. He would fill the big PG role Nebraska has had in the past with Banton and Sammy G. He could also play off-ball with Uhlis running the point as well. He averaged 5.6 points and 2.6 assists in 23 minutes of action. I like the idea of him posting up smaller guards and he has great court awareness. He is not afraid to cut to the basket and is able to finish around the rime with his long frame.
