That's a good pick up for shit head
I had never heard of that before.
You serious Clark? 😂
Yep, I’m afraid it’s time to rename the PlatiBoard to Red Sea Scrolls.
@HuskerGarrett @Jim14510 can we start a new tPB?
Don’t look now but they are well on their way to lucking into killing it this portal season again.
If you were a booster with what Rhule has shown so far would you want to keep spending money?
Yeah, I don’t know where the hell this idea came from that “having the necessary resources” meant you’d never get outbid? That’s fucking ridiculous. OSU, Oregon, TT etc… Nobody is gonna get their 1st choice at every position they’re recruiting.
And yes, “missing” on a guy doesn’t always mean you got outbid. Sometimes another school is willing to pay more than you think the player worth, sometimes a lot more. That’s not being outbid, that’s passing on what you see as a bad business decision.
I’ve been consistent in saying Rhule better step it up in the portal if he has the resources. But we’re talking about a top 15-20 class, something better than that will be a bonus and I’ll be over the moon. But to think you have to sign a top 3 rated prospect at every position (who may not even really be a top 3 player at his position) or this thing is a failure are just… dumb. You can sign a top 10 portal class without even signing one top 5 player at their respective position.
Now I’m sure someone will think I just said we’re gonna sign a top 10 class… lol
YES!!!
That’s a very good point. But if I had unlimited funds at my disposal I would still want to try. Idk. I wish I was a billionaire
I’m not saying it’s only a Nebraska thing, but if you’re not getting a return on your investment you’re not going to keep blowing money.
McGuire was 7-6 and then 8-5…tech boosters still wanted to spend money. Seemed to work out
Sounds like Henderson may just be rescheduling his Nebraska visit. He was visiting Houston and decided to go A&M while he was there. Interesting dynamics - another Edge we are trying to get to visit (who IMO is a better get) was visiting A&M this weekend. Maybe they couldn't get him to commit this weekend.
Absolutely not
I think most of my personal disappointment thus far is stemming from a few things:
1. The entire reason for Rhule’s public Penn State deal fiasco was he wanted to be able to build “$30-$40M rosters at Nebraska”
2. We hire a DC who made a massive 1 year turnaround at his previous school and has really good players with eligibility left at two of the most critical position gaps Nebraska’s roster needs help filling
3. High school recruiting class is dead last in the Big Ten and incredibly small because “we have a lot of young guys and we will be going after a big portal class for next year and need the spots”
4. Portal opens and there’s seemingly nothing linking NU and the majority of the SDSU guys together - Nothing with NU and White together through the Twittersphere and Henderson immediately schedules a visit to Houston (??), we then work to get him on campus after his UH visit and he cancels for TAMU. Memphis OL cancels his visit too.
5. Then on top of it we are seeing other guys that should’ve been targets visiting elsewhere and seemingly will be off the board by time Nebraska would be able to get them on campus
6. We know NU is approaching things with a “positional value” mindset and doesn’t want to “overpay” despite us probably needing to for difference maker talent given recent struggles
7. Only two guys it feels like NU has done a great job of lining things up with prior to the portal opening is Minchey and Chambliss. Everyone else feels like a crap shoot
In summary:
- Didn’t leverage the Aurich relationships to mass import experience and production
- Aren’t seemingly leveraging the increase in NIL $ from the Rhule extension to chase “top tier” guys
- Aren’t scheduling and getting visits with guys who seem to be somewhat obvious candidates to fill holes in our roster
The entire thing just feels odd and off. I could (will?) be wrong about how things shake out, we’re only 2 days in FFS, but it just feels weird and like things aren’t exactly humming the way we need them to going into year 4 with the schedule we are facing and the roster gaps we have
It can, but like I wrote you in another post what makes you feel good about Rhule when we spend more than Cockeye and Minnesota and he gets bitch slapped by those two teams. It also worked out for Joey because he plays in a garbage conference. Oregon still beat them down at the end of the day.
I follow your reasoning. It may well be right. But it may turn out to be wrong as we get more data over the next two weeks. All we know is what is in the public domain which is very likely a small piece of the existing data.
Man wouldn’t it be nice for Nebraska to even be good enough to get beat down in a playoff game.
Tech isn’t getting any worse. They were only investing in the portal, now they are doing it at the high school recruiting as well.
