Portal Transfer Targets

[runningblind]

It appears as though I am wrong though.  

Just because we haven't heard or did he commit somewhere else?

I think we all feel the pain of not landing the "Big Name get us out of the rut" QB that we hoped to land. Comes with the territory of being 3-9.  Scott better make hay with what he gets otherwise 2022 will be painfully long. 

I am not arguing bc I somewhat agree, but what “big name” qb is “that much better” than possibly Thompson?  Brennan?? Some on this board, not impressed…injury prone 

Slovis?? Others not impressed. Had up and down…. Rattler??  Big name, but baggage up wazzu and he had some on board begging NO !  Gabriel?? 
Thompson’s stats are almost as impressive as the 3 mentioned….and name recognition combined with playing at Texas, should put him in same class as “big name”. 
 

I will be more disappointed if we don’t land Thompson or Ward….but I also think there may be more enter portal soon.

Haven’t heard.  I wish qb watch would end!

Final coaching positions?  Covid supply chain effecting the stadium build?   Hmmm I dunno lol

That's not a question.  Not sure what response you are looking for.  Yes, he has struggled to grasp some of the offensive concepts we were running.  The HOPE is that he will do better in a different, possibly simplified, system.  Who knows what the reality will end up being.  From my perspective, smothers is very capable in many systems and will likely be qb1 against NW 9 months from now.  IF we get a solid transfer, obviously that could change.

I never have been and never will be for simplifying systems. These are P5 college players and they should be able to grasp as complicated of system as other teams run.

Did Purdy commit here, or just announce he received an offer? 
 

is he waiting for Thompson? 

I think it's pretty much up to the players to announce their offers. Maybe we've offered Thompson, maybe we haven't.

I don't know why people are getting impatient with the QB search?  We have apparently sucked at QB development and recruiting for a while.  We are all of the sudden going to get good at it?  If I was a really good QB, I would exhaust all possibilities first before going to Nebraska.

We've offered Thompson per Husker 24/7.

Seeing some smoke on Twitter that Purdy will announce tomorrow for NU. 
 

Any truth who freaking knows at this point. Lol

We might have offered everyone

When the news broke that Whipple was hired by Nebraska Coach Whipple was sitting at Brock Purdy's kitchen table. This was always the most likely guy who was going to be our new qb, the question was wether he would be the only one.

I wouldn't be shocked in the least if they brought in both.

If it’s a Purdy and Thompson combo I’d call that a giant win in the recruiting book.

The QB room instantly gets better, let the best man win the job and build depth.

Thompson would be a great addition. I am not a fan of Purdy.
