Simpson/Donnie vs Garrison

Should have brought Garrison back GBR NFM.

Seriously though I think we have our interior guys for the cycle with Ainsworth and Waterman. With such a small class I don't think they would take 3 inside guys?

Miret was the center so I think they would have

My issue is, why is He spending so much time with college football plans? It seems like there are a lot of other areas that need some planning, if I may be so bold.

Guys, let's keep this kind of talk over on the TPB Theological board, please.

"God's chosen"

#godsplan

Remember when it was God's plan to have Michigan cheat a shitload.

Or when he had that one guy get blown off the camera stand and die at ND?

Or when God planned to have that one kid get catfished in front of the whole country?

I remember trying to convince Mary Lou it was God’s plan we were both in the back seat of my dad’s Oldsmobile and she should not mess with biblical prophecy, and let me have my way with her. Mrs. Johnson, the cheerleading sponsor grabbed me viciously and pulled me out of the car. It was a car wash and Mary Lou was vacuuming out the back seat. The old hag kicked me out of the car wash, it was hard to explain to dad why only half the car had been washed when I got home. I told dad Mrs. Johnson put the moves on me and in protest I left. She was dad’s age, he thought she was hot apparently because he slapped the back of my head and called me an idiot. He drove down to the car wash.

What the hell is wrong with our fans

They took Houston last year. Rivals projected him at center so they should be ok.

Wasn't this supposed to be a big recruiting month? I feel like we came up kinda short so far.

We've known for awhile 2026 was going to be a really small class for HS recruits. 2027 needs to be strong. We need a strong portal class after this season too.

2027 will be a top 20-15 class regardless. Matt Rhule is really starting to back up the comment of, "Give us a national brand and watch what we do" (I'm paraphrasing).

However, if this team can win 10 games this year then they will easily challenge for a top 10 class nationally. I've always thought that if you can do that while being in Michigan or Ohio, you can easily do it in Nebraska with the right people.

I agree it's doable in Nebraska, but I don't think Ohio and Michigan are the comparables that suggest it's possible. Ohio has 12M people, Michigan 10M. Ohio has 84 players 3 star and higher this year, 20 that are 4 star or higher. Michigan has 7 4 stars and higher, 38 3 stars and higher.

We have 125 on the roster, so we'll have approximately 20 grandfathered. Only 19 exhaust eligibility this season, and potentially a few of those could be grandfathered, and for those departure does not create roster room. We've been building to have an experienced, deep roster by Raiola's junior year. We took large recruiting classes in 2022 and 2023 to build for that. We have taken a number of scholarship quality walk-ons to supplement the scholarship recruits, which we were able to do by investing significant NIL in a sort of incoming freshman 6-figure minimum wage. As a result, we have 56 players coming into the fall with 4 years of remaining eligibility (likely a dozen of these will have 4 years remaining going into the 2026 season and in effect be freshmen with a year in the weight room and in practice). We have 34 with 3 years remaining, and only 16 juniors (i.e., guys who will be in the last year when Dylan is a senior).

It's been apparent since before last season was over that this year's class would be 15 or so, roughly half being development (including a disproportionate contingent of OL) and half being guys who we would think would be playing contributors two years from now. I'm sure we'll lose some guys to the portal. The new rules make it difficult to free up money to pay non-contributors.

Nobody should be focused on having a traditional size of recruiting class. Instead, we should be focused on how many guys we get in this class who can be on the field by 2026 and fill a need. If we get 6-8 of those signed in December that will make a real difference. Guys like

1. Sone (will be hard if Georgia goes all out)
2. Obot
3. Bronaugh
4. Bonner
5.-7. Wilson and/or Thomas, Eberhardt and/or Jackson

It looks like we are already well down the road to having a group of developmental offensive linemen in the class.

Given history, it is truly amazing that it looks like we will end up with only about 20 OVs this spring. It is really proof that they aren't looking for numbers, because as guys fell off, they didn't replace them with last minute reaches.
