This guy in the near future -

 

[Kinish]

get him here. have him play RT for a year. Pritchet gets drafted. He slides over.

Boom.

Ours fans keep forgetting that Rhule isn’t talking to the fans. He’s trying to signal to recruits and agents so we can get a foot in door.

The portal isn’t target where you go in and buy the players you want. There has to be interest no matter how much money you have.

I agree but they have been told for years from people like Dean Nebraska has all this money and then they see Rhule reinforcing it in his presser.

Targets are pointless, change it to confirmed visitors and it’s a lot more useful.

It has both. All of the names are guys that have some sort of connection, whether speculated on by reporters, or played for a current husker coach at one point.

Can’t help idiots that listen to Dean.

Talk is cheap either you have the money or don’t. I’m sure no recruit has a clue what Rhule said at any PC.

And “having the money to compete” does not mean “can outbid for every player on the market including each of your individual favorites”.

What the hell do you guys want him to say?

Why do all the podcasts and national interviews. He’s trying to keep us relevant in conversations and our fans are just drooling at the mouth trying to dissect everything little thing he says.

Fans are insane. They hold Rhule accountable for everything he says publicly, as if it is his job to be 100% transparent and open with the fans, spilling the unfiltered truth as he sees it.

People need to think about what his job is when they pass judgement on what he says. To act as these fans expect would be dooming himself to sure failure. His job is to say things that improve the team's chances to win, not inform the fans.

Whatever Rhule says now doesn’t matter. I assume he said it because he got some assurances when our administration got played that PSU was going to hire him. All I’m saying is recruits don’t pay attention to some stupid press conference with Rhule but Husker fans do. If anything Rhule put the heat on himself saying that.

My nephew was dating a girl who was working directly with Turd/NiL dept when it first started. She said it was a complete shitshow. Underfunded, unorganized and had little direction. That week Dean was telling everyone NU was top 10 and among the leaders in the nation. Complete and utter bullshit yet the waterheads ate it up.

You can say that but I bet we still spend more than Cockeye and Minnesota yet they whoop our ass. I bet for what we spend on NIL we still aren’t as good as we should be.

 

[vailhusker]

I agree with you guys. I'm just saying that a lot of fans and media aren't going to read between the lines and take what he said at face value and hold him to it later on.

Here, @Krup21 is this more palatable for you?
