First day of Spring Practice (5 Viewers)

[BluesBucksNHuskers]

Rhule hopping on the “Our media doesn’t ask the tough hard hitting questions!” bandwagon at the end calling the questions “Layups”

 

[2010sarenevercoming]

Watched part of his presser.
-Grant & Hill suspended from Practice until they get their shit together
-Fidone, Thompson & Applegate limited due to injuries
-TE Carnie moving on so no longer with the program
-TE Tagaleua (sp?) switched over to DE
-Applegate switched to TE. Rhule likes his speed
-WR Bonnhar (sp?) more a hybrid position
-high school coaches from Nebraska & Kansas at practice today
-wants QB's learning to throw in the wind outside not the indoor facility

Does Carnie moving on = no longer playing football, or moving on to another school?

 

[Toe]

Johnson is a pretty epic bust, considering he was originally a 5* guy. Only surprise with Hickman is that he stuck around as long as he did. I had to look up who Carnie was.

 

[Pipe Line]

He was on my list to leave. Never felt like he was a D1 player even going back to Norris.

recruiting miss by Frost?

I would say bust in general. Several schools were recruiting Carnie. When Cockeye offered him, felt like he was worth the scholarship.

With that said, a healthy Fidone and Gilbert says the fuck depth chart this year.

 

[Napkins]

Hickman and Johnson no longer on the team. Long overdue.

IMHO there is nothing wrong with recruiting players who end up as Busts because it's gotta be hard to project the physical & mental development of an 18 year old. If I remember correctly only about half of the recruits end up being major contributors. Issue is not identifying which players aren't going to contribute at this level and getting them to move on. College Football is big business these days, need to run it like a Fortune 500 Company on some levels..

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Are they even going to have pads on?

No

What do you think of the players moving positions? Applegate and Tageluea

Yeah roughly 40-50% of kids will ultimately be busts. It is an inexact science behind recruiting kids. A number of different things lead to it between injuries, not mentally being ready for college, etc...

Thing is to recruit with volume to backfill that. Bo not doing this drove me nuts.

Good point, forgot about the Georgia kid. Smell ya Carnie.

Seems like Hill has been in the doghouse since he got here. Don't have high hopes for that one.

I question his decision making on the field - not his talent - with some of the mental errors he made on defense and special teams. Sounds like that also translates to the classroom too.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Every single tight end who couldn't get on the field ahead of Boekircher was a candidate to get processed. Thankfully Matt Rhule realized this and no only added some talented to dudes to the room but cleared wasted scholarships.

To be clear, we did the right thing with Hickman, Carnie, and Rollins (who I imagine is RIP if I haven't already missed it). Took the best instate dudes and tried to make it work. It didn't so sayonara

Hickman has done nothing but move positions for 4 years. See ya

 

[ChocaEgg]

Did not expect James Carnie to leave the team

I am not shocked. Better suited for a lower level.

I thought Rollins looked ok in his very limited role but its tough to argue with

couldn't get on the field ahead of Boekircher was a candidate to get processed.

recruiting miss by Frost?

Miss by everyone. He has offers from KSU and Cockeye, plus something like 20 offers from non-power 5 schools.

If we hadn't signed him, he would've gone to KSU/Cockeye and become all conference. No doubt about it.

See if you can find a few things I wrote about him in the fall. He has a extremely large ego and attitude issues.
