Agree 100%. I had to stop listening. Always goes back to the 90s and other stupid shit. Then he can’t even accurately state which players or games on the current roster he’s talking about.
He makes some really good points but others you can tell he’s got a day job and just grabs snippets of topics.
The Jordan VanDeberg mention is the funniest. He played at Cockeye Western in 2020 and was a Penn State signee. Scott Frost still had two years remaining at Nebraska. And VanDeberg then suffered two bad injuries. The dude wouldn't even be playing football any more if he hadn't missed two seasons of football. He's almost 25 fucking years old.
Let me applaud any coach at IWCC or Dr. Rob if t they thought Nebraska in 2025 could've used a kid who was playing juco ball in 2019.
I guess I'd be curious to see how many of the the guys that actually make it D1 from their end up somewhat close to home, and their overall production with the school that they went to, or if they transferred.
Not saying there hasn't been whiffs from there as I know Will Lee 3 was a ST LO, MO guy and was successful at KSU and A&M.
Rhule better have a well organized portal plan in play over the next few weeks. While i understand the necessity for a smaller class, I can't really fathom why it had to be small to the point of signing only 9 players.

Nebraska definitely fvcked up that relationship from Bo to Frost.
But IWCC simply isn't getting the same caliber of athlete anymore. Loosened academic standards with the NCAA and the portal have made it easier for kids to go D1 and stay D1.

10?! Considering we will always get some second rate transfers that will never play, we need atleast 15 transfers to have a chance at being decent next year.
