If we end up with Chiles at least I'll have my Saturdays freed up this fall.

Schafer had some info here and there.
Seems like since he was fired it’s been a void
The best possible qb out of Minchey, Chiles, Lagway and UNLV guy
I guess I missed that then. It seems most i've read are more in line with what I posted above.
I know there's been some irrational posts and I'm probably guilty of it myself but it's hard not to feel like the dark times that are NU fb, aren't getting darker in a lot of aspects.
Here is one example of many:

Well now you're just picking on the mentally challenged
Strawman. We’re not a serious program if we don’t accumulate a large quantity of quality players that would reflect a top 2 or 3 portal class ranking.
There is a segment of the board that is of the opinion that setting a range for a positional prospect is intentionally handcuffing NU to not play the portal game as it is "constructed". The reality is that it's a pay to play situation and NU needs to PAY at positions of need, QB being a MAJOR one.
I'm of the opinion that the strategy NU implemented for the QB room was the wrong strategy, a risky strategy, but a strategy that could have had a high ROI.
Now NU is in a position that they will have to pay more than they wanted because now they will be bringing in a guy who will expect to be the starter, and in turn have to pay LaQueef more to keep him.
The strategy backfired and now they will have to spend the equivalent of what they would have had to pay Minchey to keep him from Kentucky.
Ironically, I think that the backfired strategy will end up being a positive for NU. They will end up with a QB that has bona fides.
Do you think signing or not signing a back up QB will make the difference? In fact, couldn’t letting one player walk actually potentially help us sign more quality players?
“looks like we’ll have room for you after all!”
it doesn't matter. He is almost certainly a DSA. He doesn't use a roster spot or any rev share.
That doesn't make it better
Maybe Minchey has a love for bourbon.
I like the Kentucky version where they doubled his nil
So the only thing that kept him from signing with Nebraska was that it was Nebraska.

I know I do.
the question about your analysis is this: Was Minchey so attractive because they liked him the best or because he gave them the best ROI at the expected cost?
In other words, if we knew we'd have to pay 2.5M, would we rather have Chiles or Colandrea, for example, than Minchey because they might have a higher gross return?
I don't think we'll have to pay Lateef anything more. He'll be better off with a one and done. Has nothing to complain about.
