[the insider]

Only if Trae can reclassify. I have zero faith in this staff to land a solid portal QB.

Recent follow for Barthel. Kid isn’t in the portal yet (USD still in FCS playoffs). 1554 rushing yards and 194 receiving yards this season.

LP Jr? Hide the girls and backup QB's in closets and bring him in.

I think Mills would be dumb to leave. He didn't put something special on game film here. He needs to understand he won't have the offers he had coming out of high school. Here he can win Key's vacated spot.

TJ’s still says Husker football.

Cortez and Barney

Cortez would make a big mistake. He's talented, but he also easily could be left out of the musical chair game of ending up at a good school.

You guys aren’t seriously naive enough to think these dudes are just jumping into the portal without talking to other schools, right?

Now sometimes they might be getting misled or lied to & sometimes they might get better offers than initially promised after entering but any notable player who enters the portal will have already been in contact with multiple other schools.

It varies.

Do you think players like DeColdest was talked to before transferring out, who ultimately screwed up his career by jumping to some lower end schools?

And even then if players were reached out to, its not a guarantee they'll end up at the school that tampered.

These NIL agencies/agents will do everything they can to backfill the positions they need for the next year, so they toss out such a wide net of reaching out to players on other teams to have them even think about going into the portal. But once you're in the portal, there are no guarantees of what you were 'promised' because other players will join and may have higher ceiling to take.

I said notable for a reason. These players are not the same level.

Where u seeing this

I really hate this part of CFB.

If CFB is going to be NFL-lite, then there needs to start being some rules to this stuff. I don't function great in a boundary-less system...

 

[Hedley Lamarr]

When will Rhule embrace the Hoiberg vision of Exciting Whites? the people are asking

Hartzog for sure.

It's really hard to stay invested in anything off-season wise

You understand that every team has guys leave, but it feels a little more dire when the team is underperforming and not an especially hot transfer destination, you wonder about the staff’s ability to replace them.

Gonna have to work to keep it in perspective until we see how it all ends up.

I wonder how many are by their choice and how many are Rhule saying we need to upgrade.

Some of it is just part of negotiating higher NIL imo.
