And so it begins...(tracking Coach Prime decommits/transfers)

[HerbRedman]

Yup. Deion is further proof of the existence of The Simulation™. He doesn’t know it, but his only purpose for being there is to humiliate us twice, and be awful against everyone else. Once we aren’t on the schedule anymore his purpose will be fulfilled, and he will move on.

I actually am extremely concerned we'll find a way to lose to them next year. I hope I'm wrong.

But as long as you have a top 5 QB and great WRs like they do, you're always gonna have a chance. That's how CU kept in every game this season (I believe the only game they got blown out was Oregon).

If we have a Sam Leavitt etc still learning the playbook vs Shadildo & his WRs, that's not a good matchup. That's probably why Rhule is talking to guys like Will Howard w only 1 yr of eligibility: he HAS to win that game.

Believe the qb he signed last year is also in the portal

Weisman? He's in the portal, 9 so far total.

Washington State as well, 56-14.

They were soundly beaten several times and got some late scores to make it look closer than it was.

I really want to dance on Prime's grave but there is a lot of talent going into the portal and I'm going to wait and see if he gets any of those guys for spring ball.

 

[HerbRedman]

Starting TE now in portal. So 5 returning starters in portal, they might not have a team next year at this rate.

Offense really getting hit:
OT, C, TE and RB gone

Here's your scenarios for what's going on there:

1. Deion is smart and already has better replacements lined up, 9-3 or better
2. Deion will get some replacements but will be the same 4-8 next yr or slightly better
3. Deion will whiff in the portal and be WORSE than 4-8
4. Deion will resign for medical reasons prior to CU fall camp 2024

The Simulation will not allow for #3 or #4 to happen so we can eliminate those. It's either #1 or #2.

Feels too early to celebrate this dude's demise. If you know anything about Nebraska sports, you know it's too early to celebrate this.

Even Deion's girlfriend is hitting the Transfer Portal. #WeLeaving

Playing them early in the year when the weather is nice (advantage = them) and depth doesn’t matter as much (advantage = them) doesn’t bode well for us.

But I would expect us to improve more in the offseason than they would, unless they get another impressive portal haul.

He is getting exactly what he planned on getting. PAID. Him and his kids. Thats all he wanted. That and the spotlight and that was coming regardless. I mean look at this year.

He wanted paid and his kids a chance to get to the league. Nothing more. He could care less about CU. The only thing Sanders and I have in commin.

Im having a hard time believing that Dieon can get enough talent out of the portal to improve his team

I think that’s part of the equation but I also think Deion really believed that once he got that job the transfer portal would light up with 4/5* talent that wanted to come play for him

I do know about Nebraska sports, but at this time of the year I'm fueled by hope.

Don't see 1 happening, especially as assistants are leaving, they are the ones that did the dirty work getting players to transfer there last year. He's got half of a staff right now.

2 is possible.
3 is possible.
4, I think could really come into play. Sanders can see the amount of work that needs to be done, Shilo and Sheduer declare for the draft and Deion resigns for medical reasons.

I mean the OL sucked last year, but they have lost 4 of the 5 starters, 2 which could have come back. Their roster is in real bad shape.

But I would expect us to improve more in the offseason than they would, unless they get another impressive portal haul.

Also we can take solace in the fact that the single most motivating thing for Tony White this offseason is making sure his D doesn't get cucked again by Shadildo on national TV. (even though it really wasn't their fault last yr)

Plus you figure whoever NU has at QB will be better than Jeff Sims. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

He only makes $4m/yr though. Couldn't he make that in TV endorsements, etc? TV analyst gigs? He surely didn't need this job for the money.

But this job has opened a lot more of those TV endorsements to him. Job got him the spotlight and that's paying off big time.

This is what I was thinking as well. Deion has been working behind the scenes preparing for the portal, hence the poor recruiting this year, and has some great additions in store. He's alluded to it all season.

Fingers crossed it's as big a clusterfuck as it seems.

He said the same thing last year

Well maybe, but he wasn't. His kid needed exposure at a bigger school too.

 

[Alcaus]

Well they added 51 transfers last season and had the #1 transfer class.

Either their roster is fucked because of the transfers they've signed or they're prepared to dip heavily into the portal again.

Too gun shy to call Sander's a failure just yet. His method would have me shitting bricks in Boulder but it's the perfect flip-side case to compare against Rhule's moving forward.

Sure, but now he is losing assistants just as quickly as he was with players a year ago. No quality, college assistant is going to take a job there after what he did to his OC mid season and seeing guys like Tim Brewster jump ship FAsT to lesser program/job. Good luck trying to replicate that portal success when you don’t have a whole lot of coaches who have played the portal game and have connections. I think what’s going on with his coaches leaving is a huge red flag and sign that something is rotten.
