2024-25 Nebraska Football Roster Attrition + Graduation

[Herbie]

Why?

I don’t see Luto gone.
Teddy and Turner probably need to medically retire. I think Turner is most likely to come back.

 

[Ripping Lips]

I don’t envy Rhule the next few weeks.
150ish players needs to get down to 105. And only about 18 seniors leaving the program. Assuming Turner comes back

How many of the 150ish are walk ons?

 

[Herbie]

How many of the 150ish are walk ons?

I’d assume almost all
Didn’t Rhule has 90 something scholarship players but they couldn’t figure out who was nil vs ship

Hypothetically we could get UNO to run the same playbook and schemes as us. I remember reading how our walk-on program used to work so well with Nebraska kids because most highschools ran the same basic offense as Osbourne's teams. So the players would get here and already know what they were doing to an extent. Sounds smart, not sure how accurate that is.

Oh, it was very true. Nearly all Nebraska high school teams in the ‘80s and ‘90 ran I-formation isos, traps, options, dives, sweeps, just like the Huskers did, with an occasional wishbone team thrown in. Coaches would go to the coaching clinics put on by the Husker staff where they’d copy scheme and drills.

It would be harder to do these days because college schemes and coaches change much more frequently and there is a lot more variation in what colleges do.

Rhule seemed bummed but not upset Coleman is leaving

Wouldn't mind turner coming back as a guard if JEJ can slide in at center.

We have to lose a lot of people. Don't see Coleman being a contributor so it's a good loss, there will be lots more to follow.

Agreed.
We should know fairly quickly after the Cockeye game as well. Anyone leaving won’t be with the team for the bowl game

Think he said 30-50 players will enter the portal

Probably a lot will go then, bowl practice will be a last tryout to stay on the team or to move along.

Depends on when the bowl game is.
Portal window is only the 9th - 28th
Music city bowl is the 30th

First two weeks of bowl practice would be a final audition, then tough talks and many go into the portal before the deadline and the last week of bowl practice is with guys that are staying or finishing up their eligibility.
