Who's Leaving? 2024/25 version

Gone are the days of actually being a fan of a player. 10 years from now, the question of, “who was your favorite husker player” will be mostly meaningless.

To be fair, our horrendous teams for 10 years now have done far more damage in the “who is your favorite husker” category than NIL and the portal

it’s also worth mentioning that them entering the portal doesn’t mean they’re officially gone. In EJs case, it could be a leverage/money play.  If he does leave, o well, he had a nice 3 game streak and yet wasn’t a game changer. More concerned about some of the defensive guys not returning than a back who isn’t even a 3 down back

Contracts for players now. I'm about done. 

They deserve to get paid I'm fine with that. But I want a contract to the school. They have your playing rights just like the pros.

I thought that was a given. Isn’t signing day now call financial obligation day?  Maybe I dreamt that, but I researched it pretty heavy in October and that’s I found.  It’s a replacement for. NLI

Emmit’s twitter handle is emoney$. Maybe a clue? 

 
I’d be willing to trade Johnson for Johnson with Iowa. I’d even facilitate the tag midway between Lincoln and Iowa city. 

 
His brother tweeted this and he retweeted it, but it could be taken a lot of different ways:


Could mean he's unhappy with relationships here, and that's what is important to him. Could also just be he is leaving to make more money, but is going to prioritize the relationships assuming the offers aren't insanely different.

EMoney is a rap name, not a declaration of life priorities. I could also see the relationship piece being Barthel leaving, or honestly Barthel staying and maybe EJ was hoping he would leave. Whatever his ceiling is, it's two years in a row with Barthel where EJ was clearly our best back and couldn't get significant playing time until his hand was forced.

I saw this today and I don’t understand it.  I don’t think the rating services know how to rate the transfer portal yet.  With scholarships limited to 105 the transfer portal going to be about bringing in impact players.  Princewill has some upside but he hasn’t put it all together and shown it on the field yet.  Malachi Coleman is also ranked 27…

I think 247 has him highly ranked bc wasn't he named to a freshman all-american team?  If not then I guess they are going off of his potential.  It sucks to lose players that are highly thought of but Nebraska has a lot of work ahead of themselves to be a successful team next year.  Just got to put there heads down and keep on keeping on.

What if a coach leaves? What if they have a family issue and want to move closer to home?   Too many variables for me to support that

 
So EJ hit the transfer portal bc he felt disrespected by Satterfield per Adam Carriker.  It's not about the money according to Adam Carriker's source.  Also 20 programs have already reached out to his agent and Dana has reached out to him as well.  We have a slight chance but very slim chance he returns.

We all feel personally disrespected by Marcus Satterfield at this point.

It’s somewhat valid- but he wants to start all over?  There are no guarantees anywhere else unless he demotes the level of the team.
 

Sounds like throwing the baby out with the bath water.   But he is also 20 and probably doesn’t make the most rational decisions.
