Wasn’t there a 5* OT from Sammamish a few years ago that teased Nebraska then went to Washington?

Let’s hope this fucker doesn’t do that

Same

He seems like a guy who normally goes to another big 10 school and probably becomes all conference

Mongo cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣

The fake Mexican speak goes all the way back to @Sam-I-am saying “me likey mucho grande”. They’re apparently still using it.

I don't think anyone expected any of those things. I think what people expect is to start signing some of the guys we're bringing in, as other teams are clearly already doing the same. Did anyone expect Okie state to sign one of the top qbs and rbs in the portal? Oh wait, they followed their HC. Did we think we might get a similar shot with some of the SDSU guys? Sure did and we were more like an after thought. TT wasn't shit until they signed a ton of dudes in the portal last year. Money talks and if we have it, it's time to nut up or shut up.

This is where I’m at too. I don’t expect top shelf talent but at least could the new coaches bring some help with them?

if I'm doing the math correctly, his dad (CJ2K) conceived him within a few weeks of the time he committed to East Carolina. So that may be how their recruiters sealed the deal.

I have to ask some questions here.....


1: Did you think Indiana would do good or bad in this year's portal?

2: Did you think TTU would do good or bad in this year's portal?

3: Did anybody expect Nebraska to do better than TTU and Indiana 48 hours into portal season?

So far, everything that has happened makes total sense to me. I did not expect top level future NFL dudes to be hot to join Nebraska. I do except those guys to land at places like Indiana and TTU. Those are hot destinations right now.

If you did think stud players would have a hard dick to be N, I have to ask, why would you believe that? And don't give me some quote by Rhule from a press conference. He has to say stuff like that. Promoting and exaggerating is part of the job. Your job as a critical thinker is to understand and see through the fog. Some of the stuff he said about money and the portal was literally hours after signing his extension. What was he gonna say?

Fair points, but the reality is this team needs an infusion of Saturday-ready level talent badly. The roster is an underwhelming replacement level big-ten roster. Especially along the line of scrimmage.

If this team isn’t going to get run off the field next year, or god forbid actually be good enough to achieve at a high level, we need to be acquiring high level players at the rate TT and IU are currently. Our demand for those caliber of players is much greater than them, we need them more. Trying to get expected value positive acquisitions with an emphasis on efficiency (like you would in the NFL) is not a luxury this team has currently nor is it an effective strategy at the college level where there is no salary cap or market regulations.

Maybe it’s an unrealistic expectation to think we can acquire those level of acquisitions, but if that’s the case then we’re in for a rough immediate future.

Certainly appears the financial commitment to acquire the caliber of players necessary for this team to compete at a genuinely high level isn’t there as I can gather so far since the portal opened and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be disappointed at this reality.
