The top 3 seem pretty solid. 4-8 might be fluid as season goes on. That's my take. Lack of quality depth will hurt us. Imagine that. You need to be able to not only recruit quality guys like we haven’t done but also get them to stay. Like we also haven’t done. edit: added the lack of part 1 1 Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 just need someone to have a break out year. not a solid year like Toure, but a break out year. 1k plus yards with more than 6 tds. That will get the quality guys to at least take a serious look. I can see Trey Palmer being that guy if he is as fast as everyone says. Quote Link to comment

Seriously man why stress what you don't know. The room is full and we have a great coach working with them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

So, we haven't recruited quality players, and we haven't kept quality players here. So, if we haven't recruited quality players, then how do we have quality players that leave? 1 1 Quote Link to comment

The instability at the WR room to keep talent and bodies can hopefully be rectified soon. Hopefully we can get by this year and continue to add more solid additions in the portal/high school if the staff survives this year. When 4/8 of your top 8 are walk-ons & one of your top guys physically cannot even practice you may be in a bad spot. Especially if someone gets injured. Quote Link to comment

Doesn't look too bad to me. Some proven talent and some high level recruits to work with. I guess time will tell but my guess is we have a pretty good year through the air this year. New additions- Trey Palmer - played in 28 games in the SEC Isaiah Garcia-Castenada - 12 games under his belt at a lower level school and looks the part - maybe Toure esque? Victor Jones - top 75 receiver in the nation Decoldest - injured but top 80 receiver in the nation. Not sure when we get him back. Bonner - top 50 receiver nationally Marcus Washington - 4 star transfer Returning - Rahmir Johnson - Proven talent who is moving positions. Alante Brown - former 4 star recruit with 2 seasons of experience at Nebraska Omar Manning - top Juco receiver in the nation with 2 seasons at Nebraska - possible drama but until we know we don't know imo Brody Belt - Home town kid who works his butt off Wyatt Liewer - Arguably the best receiver in Nebraska in 2016 and 2017. Has 4 years of experience with Nebraska Oliver Martin - Experience at Michigan, Iowa, and Nebraska. Former Iowa gatorade player of the year. He still holds Iowa state records 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Husker in WI Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Unfortunate about Omar, otherwise it looks about what we expected. Belt is fine, I just don't want to see a lot of him against the more athletic defense we play. With a different offense I think a lot of people will be surprised how solid he'll be - but the more Trey Palmer, the better. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think you're being over dramatic on where the room is sitting right now. We have had some issues with players staying. We now have Mickey who, we hope rectifies that. Not in the top 8 are Washington, who hopefully will work into the rotation as the season goes. You also keep saying there are 4 walkons. One of those walkons was a 4 star recruit. Not quite the same thing, but you're throwing him in to try to strengthen your point. I believe he was playing fairly well last year then got injured. We also have Decoldest who was a huge get this year....but unfortunately is injured. So, evidence that we are actually getting good talent in the room. But, you claim we don't recruit good talent. 2 2 Quote Link to comment

One of the walk-ons isn't a normal walk-on, and two more of them are your 7-8 who are in that position because they know what they're doing. Hahn had some kind of walk-on for X years and we'll put you on scholarship for the rest too I thought. 1 Quote Link to comment

For someone to sit here and claim the talent we have in the room is horrible based on this, is just being melodramatic. 2 Quote Link to comment
Huskerfollower4life Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 So Omar Manning isn't going to play or he isn't starting???? Is this all pure speculation or did I miss something. 1 Quote Link to comment

Is this all pure speculation or did I miss something. He just wasn't listed by Mickey when he was naming off the guys playing different positions. Just speculation about how much he'll actually play. 1 Quote Link to comment
