Dude, one left because he was good enough to get a job somewhere else, not cuz he sucked.
And yes he made the team immediately better by hiring Dana.
That’s not starting over.
Emmett J. in the portal?

I watched his commitment video live and the way his community showed up for him I knew he was a good kid and have been rooting for him since. Unfortunately we won't see him back at Nebraska but hopefully he will end up excelling in what ever he chooses to do.

Yeah, but the reality is we need depth and he would be a dang good piece to have AND bring in a replacement.

You guys can spin it all you want, but this is a tough loss. Even if you think he's replaceable, it's not like you don't need several good RBs these days.

Seems like there is a little more to it than just a money grab.

Week 2 or 3. I don't get the hype on the board. Who does he compare to?

They do control the narrative in this situation
I’m still waiting for Dowdell to enter the portal.
When you look back at holgs offenses at WVU and Houston he doesn’t use bigger backs.
He had a couple that hit 6’ but they were still pretty slim weight wise. And had good agility and hands. He uses rbs often enough in the pass game where they need that ability.
EJ was probably the better overall fit. Not sure how dowdell truly fits.

It is because he was very good.
So he was averaging 125 yards per game in total offense for the time Dana was here. For context, Kaleb Johnson was the #1 RB in total offense in conference play with 117.6 yards per game.
It isn't just that our RB room has been ass since Ameer. He was legitimately a weapon.

He basically tried to do what he did in Temple and Baylor
All the fans go WTF
It fails (this team vastly underperformed)
Now he has to go an upgrade his coaching
Props to him for realizing it, but this wasn't exactly hard to see coming.

For what it’s worth Holgs said in his interview on Tuesday that Rhule offered him during the winter, but Holgs turned it down.

Satt is sticking around. I wouldn’t want to be around that cock sucker either.

Replaceable if you just assume that we find someone of equal or greater talent.
Even if you are lucky enough to find that, you then have lost a good player that provides depth at a position where players regularly rotate.

Well I can guarantee he'll never have to worry about that happening again

It's how people cope with losing one of our few playmaking skill players.
Think if you go back just a few weeks in the Wisconsin game thread and said "hey guys, EJ will enter the portal soon. How do you feel?"
Absolutely no one would have said "no big deal, we'll find a replacement!"
