Huskerfollower4life Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 When Scott Frost got hired, he wanted a lot of kids on the roster which included walk-ons to compete for positions. My belief was that was one of his down falls bc he had too many kids on the roster and not great developers. Do you think the new head coach or even MJ will shrink the roster so they can try and develop more? I think SF had 120 kids on the roster if I'm not mistaken. Do you think if the new head coach that comes in does shrink the roster it rubs Nebraskan's the wrong way bc he is trying to improve the team? Thoughts Quote Link to comment
Huskerfollower4life Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 I didn't include kids transferring out of the program bc that's a easy answer that's a given. This topic is about the coach deciding what to do with a big roster of kids. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The Huskers.com roster lists 145-150 players. IMO, that is way too many guys on the roster, and makes it very challenging to manage, especially when so many of those kids won't sniff the field. I would welcome a roster size in the 110-120 players range. Quote Link to comment

Do you believe the new coach cuts back the walk on program? I believe a smart coach should cut back the walk-on program. Of course, fans will revolt and freak out and say "he's cutting the walk-on program!!!!" when in reality he would be just making it more manageable. Fans are morons too many times. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Yeah totally agree. That's one of my biggest concerns is that the new head coach wants to do that and doesn't get fully supported in the process of doing it his way. 1 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I just want the new coach to be able to recruit well and develop - regardless of the # of players. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
Decoy73 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Definitely. The huge FB roster has created Title IX compliance issues. Quote Link to comment
Husker03 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Is a new coach even really going to be hired? I feel like this uncertainty may NEVER end. 1 Quote Link to comment

Me too but having 150 kids on the roster is too many people in the kitchen. If your not good enough to play sorry. Quote Link to comment

Yeah everyone has hc search fatigue. He'll, even rumorville is going days without any activity. Seemed like a bigger circus last couple of times around. Pretty boring. Maybe that's a good omen. 1 Quote Link to comment
