Having a DL coach probably would’ve helped
Nebraska can’t compete with tech for money
My issue with an NFL background guy being in charge of roster management is that much of the evaluation is based on positional value. Meaning they are only willing to pay a certain range for prospects. College is not bound by any type of fiduciary responsibility because this isn't a business for profit. Colleges who will do well will overpay for every player they want. These kids who have multiple visits lined up but end up canceling are provided offers and asked for commitments prior to leaving. It's important to get these kids here first and make aggressive offers. If NU has the money it is suspected we have and spoken about then Nebraska HAS to overpay the first year to get success. This is what TT did and now they are a top portal destination. You do not have any leverage for cost if you are bad; you do if you've had success. Those are the facts!
Cant compete with Techs on field results either or DL coach.
That as well.
It doesn’t appear from what we can see that Nebraska has any real solid plan or recruits are interested in the money until someone better comes along and they can use Nebraskas offer as leverage
This is why first visit is so important. You can tell someone they offer is only there if they take it now.
Completely agree, also seeing visitors leave Nebraska without a commitment makes me question things too.
we can only see about 5%, so that is not surprising
What’s crazy to me is all these teams are getting portal guys to commit at a fairly good clip.
Meanwhile Nebraska is letting all these guys they had first crack at leave and visit someone else.
Once they leave they don’t seem to ever come back.

Phuck. Was holding out that we were bringing in a 2nd solid option and he was it. I think Joseph is going to do VERY well. Also, frightens me that Wisconsin might be getting back to more of what they used to be, just a little more modernized, with how much the kid can run it.
I’d say we “see” way more than 5%.
Recurring portal is more business meetings and recruiting hs kids.
We don’t see the negotiations and what teams spend but agents and players are pretty open books about where they plan to visit because it drives up negotiations.

And, ironically, this is where I'd like to see us step up and go get a top guy. I think Nelson and Mozee and be good RBs for us. But if you are able to strike and pull another all-conference level RB, RB recruiting should become so much easier. It becomes "Nebraska has great running backs," and not "a great running back played at Nebraska." If that makes any sense...
It's not the most critical piece that needs to be addressed - trenches definitely need to be the top priorities. But pulling an elite RB should be a priority as well.
Well say goodbye to 26 and thus 27 with a new ball coach.
I am telling this to myself.... do not convince yourself things will be better. We are not going to be good next year. I like Rhule but it looks like he's failing. I am no longer a member of HES nor am I a Sandy Vag.
I am simply a realist that sees Nebraska football for what it is. A fallen program that doesn't know how to get back on it's feet.
From here on out I will apathetically look on and someday we may have a big win against a team we shouldn't beat and that will be a fun day.
Thank you, Fred for giving us a phenomenal basketball team to root for.

We had that this season and it was not a factor in wins-losses. Where you see when we had a QB with P4 talent we had success, when we didn't, we were awful.
Bingo. And keep in mind through all of this - we took a small HS class planning to solve a lot of problems through the portal. THAT is why people are losing it so fast on this.
We have 0 base of HS players this off-season and when impact players at positions of need are announcing left and right we aren't being mentioned, in fact we are being bumped for other visits. There is still plenty of time to make some impact acquisitions, but the optics are bad out of the gate. And we keep having those bad optics.
This doesn't mean the portal is a loss for us yet, though. I still believe very much that Rhule always has a plan. Just expectantly waiting to see that plan flawlessly enacted.
