You’re strawmanning and associating negative connotations to anyone that correctly realizes the total portal effort so far has been insufficient in acquiring the number/quality of players necessary to meaningfully improve this team relative to the status quo of mediocrity. Considering there are a limited number of impactful players in the critical positions of need (of which we need many), the longer this program waits the options available increasingly dwindle especially considering a large fraction of portal recruiting has already been occurring since the beginning of December.
Finishing outside the top 5 of the total class rankings is not a serious effort for a team that urgently needs talent across the board right now.
If you can get away with not increasing his money then you obviously don't. But you can't lose him at this point to the portal. I think they only way you guarantee he doesn't portal is if you allow for an open competition. That's more costly to do with an established starter.
Something tells me we aren’t bringing in guys whose asking price we aren’t willing to pay.
That’s possible. Honestly, I’m not sure I believe anything coming out about this kid, especially that we offered more than Kentucky.
The kid is getting blasted on social media. His agent could be trying to save a little face for him and floating out garbage.
I don’t know if that’s the case but nothing would surprise me in this whole situation.
Disagree. He’s not ready and didn’t warrant more money from his play. Let him leave he’s not getting more money anywhere he goes
Nothing you said addresses what I said in my post. And I’m not strawmanning when I could pull at least 10 examples from today of people making the exact argument I’m parodying.
Good lol
I didn’t address the core content of your post because your post also had nothing to do with what I said. I didn’t make a comment about paying Minchey $4million. I don’t know what Nebraska or Kentucky offered him and neither do you.
I agree that he's not ready to play QB at NU. I don't think he'll ever be "THE" guy at NU. I just know that you can't let him portal and have zero QB room depth. You can't have 1 scholarship QB on the roster.
The real fuckery in this is the Dayton situation. It has really messed up the room. It's actually a bigger issue than Dylan leaving and I was a Dylan supporter.
I fully agree. It would be different, of course, if he was surprised by a new offer that was bigger than he expected to get.
I am not sure if I believe Olson as I have seen other stuff to the contrary from sources that at least I consider to be reliable. But if he is right, that is a bigger problem, right? That means we can't get people to come here even if we pay the most. There have been some other alleged examples of that already.
It’s a crappy situation but it’s not an unsual situation for a lot of teams.
If Dylan had stayed tj would have left and we still have 1 qb. We are just wading through the mess of 3rd string qbs trying to decide who isn’t total ass
every board I go to is complaining they can't get enough QBs
True, I don’t know. But why were there 50 posts this morning bitching that we got outbid by Kentucky?
I subscribe there and get my Paramount+ for free 🕺
TJ doesn't leave if Dylan is still here. He would have been a RsFr next year and knew that going into his commitment.
Bc we're Nebraska and they're Kentucky?
I agree. I don't know if the money thing is accurate. It seems very convenient for his image to have taken less money.
Are we allowed to get outbid or not? I keep seeing a bunch of people say that we shouldn’t be outbid (or we aren’t serious) and then someone else is telling me that no one is making that argument. Please help.
