2024 Transfer Portal Ins/Outs

[DGNU]

Ooof Isaiah McMorris to... Missouri State. Guess they will be in CUSA... (he now, at least in my mind, is the second most famous player there next to: JOHN GOODMAN!! Though I guess John tore his ACL before ever taking the field.)

I have no clue why we continue to take WR/DB when we seem more than full at those positions.  I guess Holgo/Shorts and Butler aren't happy with the guys at those spots?

John Butler is running a 2-2-7.  Always on the cutting edge in Lincoln!*  *(Some more players are going to be cut, told to move on)

My pops always told me to rub dirt on it...  have you tried that..??

Now you know I'm old as I told my kids that. Lol

Fourth school in four years. Rated 94 out of high school, but just 85 now...

With the portal, I'm sure this happen more often.

Would like to see Nebraska take a run at Connor Moore...Montana State tackle that is a 2x All American I believe.

 

[BigRedBuster]

This probably isn't going to get you many offers.

Sounds like he wants to stay around that Ohio area. But..if we get Pete I dont think we will go after another one.

I didn't know Urban was coaching Oregon now.

 

[Mavric]

Yeah .... about that .... (from 13 months ago).

We are closing in on taking as many transfers as high school guys.

Ever evolving world. Glad Rhule is adapting. I think the number of portal guys taken this year will be abnormal but glad they won’t just sit back.

I have wondered if we had won more games if he would stick to his longer development plan, but after the way things went this season if he is feeling some heat.

 

[The Murphinator]

If you don't adapt you will be left behind. Got to play the game to win

I do think some of the higher number is due to new coordinators and position coaches at two of the highest volume positions (WR/DB) looking for very different things than the previous coaches. So I don't expect the Portal/HS split to be this close every year. But yeah I would guess the 90% is just no longer the plan, that's just handicapping yourself with the talent that is available in the portal.

Yeah, I said at that time I thought that was not the right split.  Although, to be fair, where we're at now is more than I though as well.

I don't have an issue with it.  Just interesting.

I thought for several years that Husker basketball should probably be mostly portal guys because of our disadvantages in football.  I wasn't sure that was working out very well for Fred for awhile but they seem to have figured out the right guys to target.

I didn't think it would be quite this heavy in football because I thought development would be more important than in basketball.  But we still do face the same recruiting disadvantages and have a pretty noticeable NIL advantage.  So I'm not sure this year is all that abnormal.  Other than a hard roster cap may move both numbers down somewhat.
