2024-25 Portal SZN Thread

We'll rue the day we let Barnes get away. Mark my words!

We're talking imminent rueage!

Something I think matters here is that the coaches are basically at the end of spring and have had an extended look at the guys we already have in the RB room. If after that they feel comfortable then I trust that evaluation. If they didn't feel comfortable my guess is they would have jumped all over one of the numerous RBs in the portal.

I think it's a combination of what's been discussed. I think they're comfortable that the room won't bring us down, although I don't think they feel they have a superstar currently. And they are playing the feelings game, trying not to piss off the current guys by bringing in another body to compete with, especially when he's not obviously superior to them all.

I think he'd be a great addition, but not if it means losing what we already have.

My hot take is Damon Benning is part of the problem not the solution with Omaha kids.

He has tight relations with a lot of schools and probably knows a lot of the kids one way or another.

Anytime an Omaha kid doesn’t get an offer, Nebraska offers late or leaves the state he tries to underscore an issue. He’ll try to open up wounds and pour salt into them to give him more power to speak on them for views.

I have no idea if there is or isn't but it seems like whenever there is any talk about a rift between NU and Omaha DB is usually the source.

Saw Malachi Coleman had been in a boot almost all spring.
Sounds like he found a new place to be injured all the time.

 

[Sous Chef]

Yes, it seems the staff doesn't think we need him and they aren't willing to allocate the resources necessary to get him. A similar view from a media member suggesting we should respect their judgement based on the track record:

But but we all decided Ives is terrible and a waste of a scholarship

In fairness, lots of people were saying that about EJ not long ago too.

Then they melted down when he said he was leaving.

But but we all decided Ives is terrible and a waste of a scholarship

which, of course, is the result of virtually no one ever seeing him play in person because he has only been on the field for 7 snaps in his career

I think Nebraska likes their RB room. I think there is nothing more to this than that.

I think it’s crazy that this continues to be the case here. The elite teams in college football find ways to stack their rooms with talent and players aren’t leaving like that. Does EJ think he’s getting 100% of the snaps?

It’s not as much the snaps as it is the money. We negotiated him on a fair deal and then we bring in someone else at more money… to split snaps. Ignoring human reaction and behavior is NOT what well performing organizations do.

I'm assuming he entered the portal? If so surprised its not a pinned thread though. Nope no tweets about him going in the portal so we'll just have to wait for the insidehers to spill.

Nope, he has not. This thread has gotten off the rails
