2024-25 Nebraska Football Roster Attrition + Graduation

[HerbRedman]

This one has gotta be Knighton/White related the more i think about it. He was likely in line to start or atleast be a major rotation guy next year. Rhule raves about him. Doesnt make sense unless he got a bag from someone.

They raved about this dude. Exactly.

Yrs of not developing talent and now we finally have a staff that can identify AND develop and we lose these guys to the fuckin portal.

Keona is a big loss. This is the first one I've actually given a shit about.

How many DL are we taking in the portal now? 3?

Gotta get 3 I would imagine. IF Lenhardt stays then we'll have two players left over from our 2-deep this year. If we're shifting to a 4 man base then we'll need more than three.

 

[Herbie]

Good potential and unless we hit a few homeruns in the portal our DL is going to take a yuuuuuuuge step back next year. Davis was a guy that many expected to step in and potentially take over.

So more hope than anything

I always assumed we’d need to nab 2 de’s from the portal this off season that will start or compete to start.

This is the absolute correct thread

Loved Davis's upside. Think he's an NFL dude so it sucks, but given that he only ended up Lincoln because we had a spot after shuffling of Arizona/Washington staffs last year. So it's unsurprising

Looking at the roster and the depth chart it is obvious there will be a lot of opportunity here. You would think that would be enough to retain at least a couple of guys. I wonder if they have an idea who the coach(es) will be and either they don't like them or they don't fit ---or it's obvious guys are coming with the coaches so there isn't a lot of prospect of getting more reps next year.

E.g., let's hypothetical say Symons and his DL coach are coming...wait a minute, looking at their roster the 3 deep interior DL at SMU is all grad students and seniors except for one second string junior. NVM.

I know we are going to get some replacement guys in the portal but we haven't actually been hitting it out of the park with our portal guys lately.

Unfortunately we are losing known quantities and trying to replace them with unknown ones at the moment.

Not that anyone can't be replaced but they have put a lot of time and energy into some of these guys just to have to start over again with someone new.

I'm still mostly of the belief that most of the very best players will never hit the portal. Maybe I'm wrong, but the strategy for being a high level team still has to involve crootin and developing at a high level

Great pitch for the portal visitors we have slated: "If WR doesn't work out we have some spots on the DL"

Great way to show off our strength and conditioning program for the future.

Speed rush like a mother fucker.

 

[Omar Little]

Any reports on how Ashton Murphy and Mason Goldman have been developing?

 

[Herbie]

Truthfully the dumping of the position makes Nebraska more attractive in the portal. These dudes want to play immediately

I hear they're doing allwhite.

This is my thoughts exactly.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I've crooted over both Murphy and Goldman in the portal in my NCAA football dynasty so not good. .

But Jaidyn Doss is an 89 overall receiving back so #silverlining

 

[Carm]

Knighton must have been grooming these cats like P. Diddy.

With Keona, perhaps it isn't Knighton and he goes to Bama instead. He was committed to DeBoer at Washington and then DeBoer took the Bama job. DeBoer might still want him.

True, but we can't afford to start from scratch every year either.

DeBoer has already pissed off bama fans.
If he starts taking reserve players from Nebraska they might murder him
