krc1995 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 It appears that this recruiting cycle might not end as dismally as the media has predicted. not just portal picks up, but in a limited class, the finish appears stronger than anticipated. 1 Quote Link to comment

If so, good call. Nebraska's national profile my have dropped, but an unappreciated portal transfer can become a hero to an entire state at UNL. Gotta be some coin in that. Quote Link to comment

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I live just outside Baton Rouge, and talk around the water cooler is that Decoldest has a legit interest in Nebraska. I personally think he's overrated, but like I said, MJ knows way more about him than I do. 1 Quote Link to comment

Multiple message boards have done it. It's about organizing and trusting. It's not an easy endeavor to start up. Key would be getting the top 3-4 Husker message boards funneling to the same account that can then be sent to the player(s) desired. The issue will be figuring out who will be getting the funds. Personally I think Texas has the right idea where every OL will get 150K annually. Start with the big guys up front on both sides of the ball and work out from there. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's a whole new ballgame now that Mickey Joseph is in town. I've seen him work wonders here in South Louisiana - flipping guys at the last minute, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment

HuskerNation1 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 The changes in rules around the Transfer Portal and the addition of NIL may prove to be a life saver for Scott Frost who needs to quickly turn things around at Nebraska. With how engaged Nebraska fans are, NIL will have appeal to any prospective high school recruit or transfer target and it may help us land some experienced players this off season. We are getting late to the table to make a huge dent in the high school scene too. Quote Link to comment

Not for the entire roster, but to flip the roster. It’s a new era of recruiting. Quote Link to comment

Well BellWest has a soon to be JR QB that Frost should try to close on (though he would be in the same class as Dylan Raiola so he may not be our top QB) and there are some great skill guys all through the metro. Now that restrictions are lifting on visits, Frost needs to be as visible as possible in the metro area to secure some of these guys. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 1 hour ago, huskerpower22 said: I have no problem with AM and respect him as a human, but disregarding him as some of the reasons these games didn't go as planned is naïve. It is fact he was never able to be the closer we needed to close out these games. A key mistake here, an overthrow there, and a crucial turnover when it matters the most. You cant blame it all on coaching. There was a whole slew of outcomes that could have been avoided if we just take care of the ball and put the damn ball in the end zone. It's definitely not all on him, but to not include him is not accurate. If the other 10 players on the field played like him all game, we wouldn’t have been in those last minute drives to win. 1 Quote Link to comment

AM didn’t: punt to the wrong side, heinously miss FG’s snd extras, allow punts to be blocked, and whatever Cam did at the goal line in the Illinois game, not block for himself, call red zone plays….. Or have game winning drives 1 Quote Link to comment

Gretna also has a QB with a real nice arm for the 2023 class 2 Quote Link to comment
