That's an incredible amount of insight. Appreciate the writeup.
I've been wanting MC to coach at NU for the past 7 years. I think he's fantastic. Too bad ISU is such a poor and will soon be in a G5 conference.

Was he disfigured from all of the inbreeding?
Boy if I had a nickel for every development project around a sports stadium ending up in development hell, I'd have a modest amount of nickels

I like his addition as a depth piece. Now, if he is EDGE #1 next year, I won't love that. He isn't a great player, but he is far from a bad player too. Good pickup, but need to add a "dude" in that room.
2022 was when he began to really voice frustrations about the school's NIL infrastructure. He would have walked to Nebraska
Fanbase was not on board and they were trying to win a presser. Is what it is

2025 is giving us some recency bias that he can't develop DL. Rhule has had awesome DL's everywhere he has been, including here, EXCEPT for 2025.
Go back to 2023 and the main concern going into the season was the DL. But they ended up being the strength of the defense. Not believing that Rhule can develop the DL seems like the bigger stretch.
No, but I think micro plastics have tanked his testosterone level.
2 quality 3s and atleast somebody who can play 1 technique. Elijah Jeudy has scarred me.
How much part of developing Ty and Nash did he actually have? Nash also got worse after Rhule let him wrestle. Ty was always going to be good was just a matter of time IMO, I’d also argue Lendhardt, RVP, Jeudy and Keona Davis all regressed after a year or more in his system, granted it could have been them just being played out of position and or a clueless DC. He’s also always had a pretty good DL coach at his side I believe.
Add in the mismanagement of Princewill and Mcgahee and the amount of misses in evaluation with portal adds and start to question if he’s still got it on the DL portion.

Lenhardt was always going to be a guy who plateaued early. He was a guy who physically matured early and then stopped growing, which is why schools started backing off of him in his senior year of HS.
My belief has been people thought RVP was farther along than he really was after freshman year. As a freshman almost all his snaps were situational short-yardage snaps. Rhule RS him because he wasn't going to play enough year 2 to warrant losing a year of eligibility. He was still developing.
I thought we got an amazing amount out of Jeudy. He was essentially a complete bust at A&M, and only had 21 snaps there in two years. By the time he was in year 5 at Nebraska he got 464 snaps and was at least serviceable.
Davis had over 100 snaps as true Freshman, over 400 as a true sophomore. He came in raw. He got higher PFF grades his sophomore year. There aren't very many DL in the B1G who have over 500 snaps after only two years in college. He is still pretty early into his career.

Agree with most of this, other than how I’d rate Jeudy’s snaps/time on the field.
You’re right in that we got more playing time out of him than A&M did or likely would have, but I’d say he was OK 25% of the time, neutral 50% of the time and an absolute blocking sled the other 25% of his snaps.
I try not to be too critical of players. "At least serviceable" means he is a borderline player.
Love the pick six desperation throw on a 10yd sack.
Getting his knee down at the last second before the ball left his hand filled me with nostalgia.
Who knows its validity and it was take down…but Syracuse? My how the mighty may have fallen.
Is this fake post going to get posted every day? Not picking on you or saying you should know it has been discussed already. I am just complaining these things never go away.
Understood and I’m typically the same.
I should be more unhappy with the staff managing that room than any of the pieces left in it for ’25.
