So, one comment that still is boggling my mind that Dave made in the presser. Was that the walk-on program needed to be fixed? My question is, is it really broken?
Just two years ago 24 of the 79 players that traveled to Miami were walk-ons. We started 3 to 5 walk-ons on the O line last year. We have how many walk-ons on the two-deep right now?
I guess I don't get it? Does he expect to go back to the days of the 80s and 90s where they could get the kids to walk onto Nebraska that are now being offered D1 scholarships?
Maybe he needs to call up his buddies, Bohl, Solich, Gill, etc. To ask them to stop offering scholarships to these Nebraska kids that should be walking on at Nebraska. (never mind South Dakota State, North Dakota State, etc.) These programs didn't exist, recruiting wise, in the 80s and 90s. Now they are giving these kids a full ride rather than walking on at Nebraska.
Is this just from a lack of paying attention to the program, or is it just believing the hype that any coach that is not a native Nebraskan killed the walk-on program.
