I feel like we are taking JUCO's this year at a rate similar to K-state who made a living with JUCO's. Thinking SF would have went as high as 6 if he could have grabbed a rush end and a O-line guy.... Will be interesting to see in years 3/4 how JUCO's and Walk-on's are passed out - once SF has a handle on his roster. I felt like Riley was playing the “long game” too and didn’t have any urgency in producing a winning program. I was discouraged when he spent most of his efforts on his 3rd recruiting class, instead of his 2nd. It seemed like he always wanted to be able to say that he needed more time to turn around the talent on the team. The sad part is that if Eichorst had been retained, Riley would still be here, too.

krc1995 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I wouldn’t be surprised to see 7 jucos this year. We have serious holes to fill and need guys that qualify and are physically mature enough to play immediately. I don’t think jucos are a way to live long term but they most certainly will be necessary for short term success . Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 And one area we are really in need of is offensive lineman yet I can’t remember one lineman that has made a significant contribution coming from the juco route. I don’t know know if it’s my memory or what. Quote Link to comment

theknife Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I"m interested if we will offer this JUCO OT: https://247sports.com/Player/Willie-Allen-23486 He had a UCF offer. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Only Kansas and Colorado (among Power 5) signed more JUCOs in the early period. Quote Link to comment

Nice find. I like what we are doing but I'm ready for some major upgrades in OL and DL. Quote Link to comment

I wish we would have gone JUCO or even Grad Transfer last year at the NT position to help with the move to the 3/4. I cant remember exactly the timing of when we hired Diaco but how nice would it have been if we could have brought in a legit 3/4 Nose Tackle. I think JUCO is a great idea for OL and DL to get some "beef" in here but also wouldnt mind just going Grad Transfer route to get a more mature/ready player. 1 Quote Link to comment

I agree overall, some more developed athletes on the lines would help. I really don't think nose tackle was our problem last year, but it would be nice to keep Stoltenberg fresh.

The coaching and team attitude was a losing culture. I think a legit NT would have drastically changed things but yes that wasnt the only glaring player out of place. Mick did the best he could, but he was so badly out of position. 2 minutes ago, Husker in WI said: Chongo Kondolo! Although I'm not sure it qualifies as a significant contribution.

I agree that our LB core was the major issue, but i am thinking we could have found 1-2 Grad Transfers who could play D-line and eat up space and know the 3-4 Defense. LB I think would be harder to find(Ignore the fact we just added Hondus). Quote Link to comment
I.M. OLD Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Riley’s problem was total lack of coaching, not recruiting 1 Quote Link to comment
