2024-25 Portal SZN Thread

[Alcaus]

On3 is using "fuzzy math."

Nebraska has 23 portal rated 3-stars leaving. 18 of those transfers are leaving because they never saw the field.

Nebraska has 13 portal rated 3-stars arriving.

So according to On3's formula, Nebraska got worse by a net of negative 10 three star players, while only gaining one extra 4 star player.

Everyone ready to laugh incessantly?


Jacob Hood is a considered a 3-Star ranked 86 Transfer loss for Nebraska. According to On3, that ranking cancels out Jaylen George from ETSU who has started 27 games before turning 20 years-old and was a 2-Time All SoCon Defensive Player.

Stefon Thompson is considered a 3-star ranked 87 transfer loss for Nebraska. His ranking cancels out Marques Watson-Trent, the Sun Belt Player of the Year.

It also penalizes teams who carry larger rosters, unless there’s some weight applied that we’re not seeing.

Some of these guys aren’t even on the roster if the same limits were imposed last season.

Gilbert and Safeeullah weren’t even with the team this season.

I always forget Haarberg.

My hot take is that Haarberg will be what he hoped Fidone would be. Haarberg is that kind of athlete.

I had a ginormous ceiling for Fidone when he comitted. Like future 1st round pick. I think I predicted Fidone as all conference before the season. Don't think Haarberg will be that.

So depends how delusional your expectations were.

I agree though that Haarberg could end up being a very solid TE. I'm also optimistic Markway comes back from injury without any issues and is very solid as well. I also dont see a significant difference between Boerk and Lindenmeier. I'm also clearly terrible at predicting TE talent.

We’ll have to wait another season before we see how Haarberg performs at te
