OH HSKR FAN Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Now that spring ball is over I suspect some players will enter the portal. Lightbourn entered today. How many more Huskers do you see going this direction? 2 Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Tough situation for him. Seemed like he whiffed on a couple of punts during the spring game and of course struggled much of last year. Not sure what happened with him but it stinks to see him play that poorly. I'm guessing we see somewhere around 2-3 guys transfer out by the first game (that excludes MW because, right now, I think he will be back on the team) and at least one of those will probably be a running back. My projected 1-2-3 is some combination of Mills, Washington and Robinson (Robinson mainly getting one or two carries a game in the backfield), which leaves Johnson, Bradley, Belt, Mazour, Jones, and someone else I'm probably forgetting. That's a lot of bodies and not enough snaps. 1 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 How many need to leave and by when do they have to leave? If i remember correctly they're over the 85 scholarship limit by a few. Quote Link to comment
Old Nebraska Guy Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 IIRC the team has to be down to 85 by August 1 or maybe by their first fall practice Quote Link to comment

If i remember correctly they're over the 85 scholarship limit by a few. With the addition of Green tonight, we're at 87. That's assuming Mazour keeps his scholarship this fall. It's also been pointed out that it seems pretty likely that Werner and Armstrong would be in line for a scholarship. But at any rate, we have to have one guy move on for sure (I haven't moved Lightbourn on at this point), two guys to keep Mazour on scholarship and maybe a couple more to get those other guys on scholarship.

ColoradoHusk Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 His whiffed onside kick against Ohio State was the end for him. Quote Link to comment

Bye Lightbourn I remember a bad punt or two, but I didn't see who kicked it. I was talking quite a bit during this game, so my attention wasn't all on the field. Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Lightbourn is leaving the team as announced on twitter about 45 minutes ago. Quote Link to comment
Popular Post Ulty Posted April 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2019 My heart goes out to Lightbourn. When he first got to NU, he was mentored by Foltz, then thrust into the fire when Foltz died. He was never quite able to fill those shoes and was just not cut out to compete at this level, but as far as we heard, he was a good teammate and tried his best. Best of luck to him in the future. 11 3 Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Potential list: Quayshon Alexander Pernell Jefferson Breon Dixon Avery Anderson Eric Lee Jaylin Bradley - Probably won't given our situation, but might if Mo and Mills are good to go this year Quote Link to comment
