McCord may think he's a $2M QB but he's not. If he were he'd still be a tOSU. Consensus there is he basically did the bare minimum with the top WR room in the country. He can make a lot of throws but his decision making (i.e. the end of The Game) is lacking. I've never been super hyped about him, but he would have been an upgrad here at least. Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I’m totally shocked by this. It’s like he was all ready to commit, and something happened. If it was Raiola, then that’s very disappointing. Other programs can have two highly rated QBs at the same time. However, I started scratching my head on this when his dad claimed the spotlight was too bright on him at OSU. Well, it’s just as bright here. Maybe the fan base here scared him off some and he would rather be at Syracuse where there is less pressure. Quote Link to comment

There's some chick named Casey Thompson that is starting her MBA that is going to start getting emails from bored husker fans. 8 1 Quote Link to comment

He basically jumped ship at tOSU right after Day's post season interview where he was a bit coy about the starting QB job going forward and basically hinted it was open tryouts for the Cotton bowl.

I don’t think this is how Rhule wants to do it and I support that. Spending that kind of cash on one player seems to go against what he’s said.

I mean, I could see that as a good reason. s#!t, most of us posters can't handle it when one or two other people rip on us, s#!t we had to get rid of the "eye roll" emoji because some of us are so sensitive. Imagine what it is like for the starting QB at OSU where none of the games matter (unless you lose) and the only game that DOES matter is Michigan... He can play his last year at a school that still has decent fans but not the insanity. He can still get scouted, still get a shot at sitting on an NFL bench, all without radio shows, post boards and podcasts ripping him 24/7 no matter how he plays. 7 Quote Link to comment

Didn't want to play against tOSU Didn't care for the spotlight at tOSU Didn't like that he was asked to battle for the starting QB for bowl game. But, what do I know. All three of those are probably the reason why he didn't chose Nebraska. And everyone has said it in many different ways, but he wanted to be guaranteed a starting QB role, and once DR came into the picture that wasn't the case any more. 1 Quote Link to comment

The first two reasons make sense....but recent history would suggest he wouldn't be in a battle to start a bowl game if hew came here. lol Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Demond Demas updated his Instagram profile to say "Ball catcher @huskerfootball". For those who haven't been following along, he's had some legal troubles, so he could end up just being our next Arik Gilbert (ie don't get your hopes up). He was a 5* guy out of HS (originally went to A&M, then Garden City CC), but it looks like On3 & 247 downgraded him to 3* as a transfer. 1 Quote Link to comment
