Jokes are hard, it would seem.

Is he good? He's leaving for a reason. Lots of talent in the portal, but I'm always wary... kids don't leave programs because they're starting and lighting the world on fire, typically.

A competent OL? I can't imagine that, sorry.

Rivals guys said today that he'll play down the stretch, but don't expect an impact. He's good, but not enough to displace Allen or Vokolek right now, which is fair. They are playing at a very high level. He'll get some reps and be ready to go next year as TE1.

Right. Just very physically and emotionally abusive to his own players. https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2021/05/10/unnecessary-roughness-former-gophers-claim-tough-practices-ended-football-careers/ Read the portion about Grant Norton.

I hate to break it to you, but no one in the country has signed a player yet. (Again, rankings are based on quantity as much as quality.)

"How do people who follow recruiting closely and have for a while defend the fact that our recruiting class is currently ranked 83 out of 130?" Roster management due to the COVID year can't be blamed on the coaches - we're looking at 13 available scholarships this year, meaning we can't sign 20 like some schools plan to. The recruiting services have admitted they're not able to watch all the film this year due to the "COVID backlog", if you will. Expect ratings to change pretty drastically after HS FB season ends in December this year. Do I wish we were higher? Yes. Do I wish we were in on higher rated players? Yes. Am I hitting the panic button and saying Frost and his staff can't recruit? No, they've proven that isn't the case. Check back in January.

Really hoping there are decent OL transfers in the portal. Will be the biggest impact we can make on this team.

Grandparents live in Kearney. Lived there for a few years growing up. Considering a move back to Kearney for school this year, I thought.

4 schools? Oregon, Texas A&M, UF, wherever he ends up next?

Yes, it is rare (I believe) to have 2 coaches dedicated to LBs.

"A sound mind in a sound body", looks good to go.

That name just makes me sour. Please, I will take any RB who won't do this at the goal line:

Errr, per Sam, he came in at 400lbs and is down to 380. Damion Daniels says in testing that he was 289 lbs of pure muscle, which would put him at <24% body fat.

Getting out of "Barry's coming back" and more into federal unemployment policy, general unemployment trends, etc... But I got a coffee at Scooter's yesterday morning and they were offering a $200 signing bonus to be a barista. Just to work the drive through. Hotel I stayed at last weekend had a sign on the door offering a $300 signing bonus for anyone who would start as a maid that same week. HyVee across from my house is doing on-the-spot interviews for anyone who will walk in right now. Everyone is struggling pretty hard.

Served one too many minors, one too many times.

Keisei was HOT today. Scored 10 in the first game, 9 in the second for 19 pts on the day (games only go to 21). Started the second game 3-3 from three.

Here's an idea: can we just win a game against Iowa before we try poking their university/fan base on Twitter?

Christo announces on Twitter he'll be here. We're into round 14 on the draft and still no Mason pick. I would say it is safe to assume he is N.

I don't see how me having higher standards helps Adrian Martinez hold onto the ball, or our entire OL learn how to block. You work with the kids you teach. We don't work with the players. There's a difference.

There is no maximum. But is there some sort of governing body that determines "acceptable"? Why can't a Nebraska donor offer Lexi Sun $100k for one of her sweatshirts?

We’ll see when the rankings come out, but this guy feels like Bryce McGowens of football. Type of recruit that would put us on the map and open some eyes for peers.

Competing with tOSU for one and KSt for the other. Both good players, but there is a big difference.
