Joseph openly said during his last presser that his messaging to players is they aren't being recruited to sit for 3 years. I think you will see a lot of nudging into the portal.

Vokolek has proven to be fine.  Everyone else you listed is a big question mark.

 

Hickman has done nothing in 3 years and bounced around between WR and TE.  Has Brewington done anything besides being a kick out blocker on the goal line package?  Rollins is a RSFr who hasn't seen the field.  Androff is a true FR who basically was an extra OT for his HS team.

 

If Fidone really is done for the year then we need to be looking for a portal TE.

We also have James Carnie as well. Spring should give everyone a chance and let Beckton know if we do need a portal addition.

Nebraska has had more knee injuries than any other B10 from what I follow...chalk it up as a curse? coincidence? s&c?

It feels that way, but do you have numbers to back that up?

I am saying Flores is lower on most boards compared to Kohl. 

OHHH, my bad.

Doubtful. Kohl has 12 P5 offers from the ACC, SEC, Big 12, and Big 10. 

The staff told J.J. Kohl they would take his commitment right now last month, so I think Flores is simply lower on the board.

I think he had to finish spring classes at Miami. Not 100% sure though.

Articles when he committed intakes he was enrolling at Spring 

9 wins, if you think it’s anything less then you’re a coward

Jordan Riley to the portal. Missing Silvera was huge. 

Riley was probably nudged into the portal.

Michigan State wasn't all that special in my opinion. NU basically dominated them last year. Yeah, avoiding Ohio State and Penn State is nice, but NU needs to start winning games in their own division before fans can think "the schedule is so much easier".  Basically, NU needs to worry more about ourselves before counting on an "easier schedule" for a much better record. 

Nebraska will likely be favored in 7 of the first 8 games. I see your point, but objectively speaking, a Big 10 schedule doesn't get much easier, besides the brutal close.

I am curious why everyone thinks the schedule is "so much easier" this year. NU only changes 2 different teams in the Big Ten, and Frost has shown difficulty beating any conference team with any regularity. 

Because we avoid MSU, OSU, and PSU. It doesn't get much easier.

Update - Will Honas was so confident in his LB room he’d rather walk on at KState.

Honas was likely 4th on the depth chart at ILB heading into Spring. He’s walking on somewhere he has a better chance to play/start.

Exodus continues in the LB room... Hmm. 

We haven't lost anyone who was even listed on the game day depth charts last year. Honas would have provided nice depth, but it's understandable he wants to find somewhere to go start.

Silvera going to ASU. These portals are cool but unless we are gonna actually get some guys up front it doesn’t matter 

I definitely thought they would take someone for the DL, but there will be plenty of opportunities after Spring. 

Grant told the Journal Star recently that he's graduated from NMMI and cleared to join a program for the spring semester, meaning he'll likely be at Nebraska in short order and will join the team's winter conditioning program and be on campus for spring ball.

If Jackson is staying, somebody in the program should put out a quick tweet to confirm as its never good to have something false linger for a new member in the program.

The rumors are true, he’s just saying he’s still committed and will be here in May. Personally, I think the staff will decide that after Spring.

Jackson responded to a Journal Star message confirming that he will not be with the program this spring, saying, "No I won't be at Nebraska in the spring but will be in May."

Rivals is doubling down on their report. He committed and announced it before everything was finalized. He left A&M not being academically in good standing  so his options are to sit out a year or return to A&M and work to get academically eligible and transfer at the end of Spring.

Somewhat ambiguous but it sounds like he is probably not visiting now.  Doesn't sound like his offer was committable.  We were maybe trying to convince him to come as a walk-on.

Given the lack of offers that makes a lot more sense

Academic issue:

Sorry guys, been awhile. Running backs. Didn't Deandre Jackson play defense. Linebacker and Running back. So he comes here knowing he will play RB or DB leaving Coach Applewhite to bring one more RB in?

There’s proven linebackers in the portal, there’s no reason to recruit a project to convert. He’s here for RB.

Another thing about Held. JUCO crootin is basically about to die. He got even more irrelevant. Which I think is a good thing for us. This staff was/is terrible with JUCO guys. They don’t pan out a lot anyway but Pelini got some really good guys at a much higher hit rate than Frost. 

The portal isn’t going to eliminate non-qualifiers, D1 flame outs, or the guys that jump in the portal and then have nowhere to go but JUCO

Is he wanting to play defense?   

Chinander is following a number of offensive linemen. I think it just might be based on his geographical locaiton. 

Tommy Brown OT from Bama is following Eric Chinander on Twitter.

That would be a huge get!
