I think it’s because so darned few have made any impact. Guessing if it’s a player very few know, it’s maybe not a bad thing if they leave. 2 Quote Link to comment

HANC Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I expect, as most do, a lot more portal guys to exit because if you look at the number of guys that we have on scholly and look at the offers.... and we are still offering, some guys will be shown the door. Obviously, not all offers will end up here, but MR is looking to turn over the roster to some extent, as expected. Interested in some younger LB…Kpai and Malcom…. Are they expendable or do they fit the MR development type Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I believe Rhule gave all the players the option to stay or go. Some are leaving but doubt many are being pushed out. Some well know they are backups at any rate so maybe they find a place with less competition (likely a lower level program or maybe a team with a critical need). This is the right way to do things. Ethically imo. Rhule, as with most good coaches, is an honorable person, and Neb ought to honor their commitments. And players reciprocate. Lack of effort and or failure to be a good teammate, is the player’s’ responsibility. Change is always unsettling but that’s life. Cope or fail and let yourself and your team down. Best to go elsewhere if your heart and mind are not in it. Quote Link to comment

Best to go elsewhere if your heart and mind are not in it. I think he probably gave each player an option, but was upfront with them. Also, the staff as opted to not contact a few already committed recruits, thus, basically telling them to reopen their search. Yes, it is the right way to handle things, I agree wholeheartedly Quote Link to comment

Are they expendable or do they fit the MR development type Malcolm is a good kid, but he's never been D1 talent. His HS produced nate maier who was an absolute beast in hs and played de for iowa. This kid isn't or wasn't that. When I saw he was going to be a mlb I knew it wasn't going to work. They either need to move him to an alley type player, because he's a good athlete...or let him go to uni or nwmsu and contribute. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment

He was 11.5ish in the 100m in HS. He's just too small to play inside in the BIG. Kid needs to play in space. Same probably with Kpai. They say he's smaller than Malcolm. I'm not trying to poo poo that kid, I know him and his family. Good people. I just think he and others got royally screwed by inept coaches/poor development over the past few years.

Just my opinion From someone who watched him play his entire high school career, I completely agree. He is a great athlete, who can probably find a place to play, just not at MLB. The previous staff has had him out of position since day one. I hope, the new staff will put him in space and let him be an athlete, because he’ll never have the size to play MLB. speed at linebacker will dictate the 335, So he can find a spot if allowed to. That is exactly why I threw his name out when referring to MR liking to develop players 1 Quote Link to comment
BlackHillsHusker Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Wouldn't be surprised in Kpai entered the portal. He would do well back at home for SDSU. Saw a rumor of Lincoln Keinholz, he would be another project for Rhule and would need quite a bit of time before he was ready to play. Quote Link to comment
