I do want some sort of better system to help college football but I feel no sympathy for any of these administrators and coaches. They have spent the last 30 years leaving contracts to go get more money and now they whine when the players are finally doing it. They set the precedent so maybe they should stop being hypocrites.

Tom Osborne/Nick Saban are the standards

I'd agree there. I went into it higher up here, but WR we got way better. That room flipped in a big way IMO But to the point you're asking, here's what I would say in regards to position by position:

QB: Even
RB: Down
WR: Up
TE: Down
OL: UP
DL: Down
LB: Down
DB: Up

So when you look at it like that, I think On3 got it right based on who we lost into the portal and who we gained. Again, this is just portal incoming and outgoing for us.

I realize Im almost a week late to this message, but if you're truly looking at portal incoming and outgoing then the Huskers have gotten better at Linebacker.

kind of a portal transfer

Lincoln gone in another season…

Good for him. Likely a place he can go in and start right away.

I hate to say it, but the “developmental” program model is swiftly dying.

Hopefully our best players moving forward are guys we signed in high school especially on OL/DL. But I fear that Rhule is having to change a lot of who he is in short order. To his credit, he did make some tough calls this year with his staff and having to cut 50 players from his roster is not something a man like him will ever enjoy.

I kind of think that model is dying across the board among major D1 schools. With the portal, I think the developmental schools will be your Montanas and SDSUs, etc. At least for the more project type like ISF. It's an interesting shift for sure.

They’re a brand new program, started up in 2024 by bringing in players and forming a roster and will play their first season in 2025. I have a lot of family in the valley and they’re a very passionate and prideful people, idk how successful they’ll be in convincing kids to play down there as it’s basically little Mexico in some areas but I don’t doubt there will be support behind the program. Flores should have some good opportunity to play down there too.

I have thought the same over the last few months. I fully expect him to retire from coaching earlier than later, tbh. He owes the University money if he resigns prior to 12/31/30 to take any other employment (not limited to football-related).
