At this point last year I think we had a Long Snapper and a Punter committed. (and the punter left before playing for Nebraska)

Nebraska's portal style is patient. Many of Nebraska's message board poster's style is caffeine addicted, meth smoking chimpanzee who just got his cage door slammed.

Side note: The pace seems slow but Nebraska also likes to roll out the commitment announcements slowly for maximum effect. One today, one tomorrow etc etc.... Sort of space them out if you will.

Side note 2: The portal is open for two weeks but commitments will go longer than that. So buckle up, Chimps.

You do realize the portal has changed from last year, right? Opened earlier last year.
 
So after the first days of the transfer portal being officially open, I think everyone can agree that the range of emotions for Husker fans is somewhere between "we're screwed, shut down the program" to "everyone take a guddamn chill pill"?
 
Dean is saying the SDSU edge Henderson never had a visit scheduled. Seems his agent is just throwing stuff out there.
this is completely believable to me. He is not as talented as the other SDSU, Trey White. His first visit was University of Houston. On3 ranks him as the #54 Edge in the portal.

I think the bowl game broke me. I read through this thread and my only reaction is, “Why the fuck do you crazy fucks care so much about a shitty football team?”

It took 25 years but it finally got me.

Cignetti doesn’t seem patient so I’m going to assume he knows what he is doing. If next year goes south, hopefully our dweebs will pull the trigger on whoever is Kirby smart on that staff

Don’t think that’s been effective for them if that’s the case
 
The question of if it's a good strategy can certainly be discussed.

Based on history, Rhule does it the slow way.

We shall see if it is the right approach. So far, his portal effectiveness can only be described as average.
Yeah, a 13th ranked class last year, in the 20's the year before and 40's the year before that.

Obviously dependent on needs but I wouldn't consider past performance an indicator for a shitty portal haul from this coaching staff.
 
Washington defensive tackle Bryce Butler is set to visit NU. He’s currently at Texas Tech and Florida is another team involved.

The 6-foot-5, 320-pound Canadian started his career at Garden City (Kan.) C.C. and has been at UW the last two seasons. He redshirted the 2024 season after playing in three games, and played 305 snaps in 12 games this past season.

PFF grades Butler with a 73.6 overall. He produced 14 QB pressures, along with 19 total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks.
2025: Played in 12 of 13games, starting one ... started vs. UC Davis, notching one tackle (a half of a tackle for loss) ... had a tackle and a fumble recovery in the win at Washington State ... made two tackle vs. Ohio State ... two tackles, including a quarterback sack, in the win over Rutgers ... three tackles at Michigan ... had one stop in the win over No. 23 Illinois ... two tackles at Wisconsin ... made one stop in the win over Purdue ... recorded a 15-yard sack in the win at UCLA ... recorded five tackles vs. Oregon.
 
Here's my biggest hot take of the portal...I don't think we necessarily need to take a RB out of the portal. I think if we do, we do not need to take a guy who is expected to start. This is the opposite of my take on QB...
