Michigan might need a QB and if McCord went there it could be funny.

I thought Michigan has a star backup should JJ go pro this year. McCord will probably head to ND and I doubt he has any interest in Nebraska.

McCord in the portal is great for Nebraska.
If he goes to nd that’s less competition for Howard, etc.

This is incredible. I opened it and there were 521 in portal. Within minutes it was up to 529

McCord is a Philly guy… go get him Rhule

The duke qb is basically a lock to Notre Dame.

I really do not want us to take that MSU QB. I understand we fucking suck now. But if we want to take the next step we have to get something better.

He knows all. Has more inside connections than anyone at Nebraska.

He’s a freshman.
Nebraska has to be taking 2 this year

I’m under the impression it would be for 2025 and beyond. Not for next year. They want someone with starting experience for 2024.

Like everyone else has said I don’t mind him if he’s the 2nd guy. However I will agree with you that if he’s the only qb taken then I’d be scratching my head.

What's the general consensus on here about Nebraska not taking many kids in the portal this year? Seems like Christmas time with lots of new shiny toys that we all want, but with limited room and Rhule's mentality of building a program from the ground up, developing, and keeping the guys we have on the team, we aren't really going to get any of these guys. Instead we will just watch as other programs get guys they think will be program changers. You can look at this as a glass half full and see Rhule sticking to his methodology and a strong program culture where not many guys want to leave (seen by Rhule's comments that he expects very few players to enter the portal), or half empty that we are kind of stuck with who we have and some of these transfer players could be better than some of the high school recruits we are bringing in to develop.

My general view is this is a positive for Nebraska overall. While we lost to CU, we saw how that whole season crumbled for Deion and how that wasn't really sustainable. It would be nice, though, to get about 5-10 new guys on offense (2 QBs, RB, WR, TE, and maybe a couple OL).

I also realize it is funny to watch what is happening at CU, but it wouldn't surprise me to see them land a number of pretty big time transfers again. Lots of players are leaving their program again (which should be a red flag), but they also have a lot of talent at the skill positions. If you are a quality OL or defensive player, you can walk right in and start there. Will be interesting to follow them again. Just really hope we don't let them come in here next year and embarrass us.

Leavitt and Kienholz are both class of ‘23 guys and both redshirted so they are locked in the same class. I highly doubt we take both of them.

I’d prefer Kienholz but its looking like Leavitt or Kienholz, and then an older guy.

 

[BillButtlicker]

Kinda shocked we haven't seen any Huskers jump in yet, have to think we will have at least a small handful enter the portal and test the waters.

Then again I suppose its a win that no one wants to leave.

Kienholz probably doesn’t enter the portal till after spring ball.
He would be stupid to not take a full crack at the starting job

Could also be a bad sign. Players not thinking they’ll have a decent landing spot so staying on and eating a scholarship.
