Players returning to NU for 2026

Ask not why Jeudy was bad this year, ask why Rhule hasn't acquired anyone in 3 years who would have kept Jeudy in a backup role

Also applies for Bufford, Guthrie, Shavers, the rest of the DL, Teddy, Corcoran, TJ…

On a certain level I tend to feel bad for some of these kids that come to Nebraska. They aren’t good enough to deliver and have to deal with the pressure of a top program while getting housed by the Minnesota’s of the world and sneaking out wins against MSU at home.

I have to wonder if they have things too easy. you get all the local fame of playing at a big time program, without having to actually deliver

we get a guy like EJ who has incredible development over the last 3 years, but no one else. it's kind of like the whole program is soft and isn't pushing players nearly hard enough, so the only ones who succeed are the ones who push themselves
 
I'm pleased with the returnees. Cam feels like a dude who will thrive under Aurich

We need a number of these guys to come back to fill roles. New coaching, new scheme…we can’t turn over the masses.

Guys like Lenhart, Shavers, Jones have talent. They can fill roles with the new coaching and incoming players.

Jesus, you can’t eliminate the entire D side of the ball.

And as emotional as many are, you know that too.

Wazzu brought in an entire new team this year and went 6-6, why not us? 😂

Yes they can fill out the second and third string levels but if they’re starting it’s no bueno.
 
Role players.

Or players that blow up under the new D coaches.
You see something in those three where they have the potential to blow up under a new staff? I do not believe they have the requisite talent level to be able to be more than depth pieces at a legit B1G program.

We will see next year however we should all hope they are recruited over in the portal starting this weekend.
 
Let’s hope the following players leave
Gage stenger
Janiran Bonner
Dylan Parrott
Jaylen George
Demetrius Bell
Sua Lefotu
Jacob Bower
Mason Goldman
Rahmir Stewart
Maverick Noonan
Willis McGahee
Carter Nelson
Keona Davis
Mac Markway
Gabe Moore
Justyn Rhett
Caleb Benning
Rex Guthrie
Donovan Jones
Kamdyn Koch

I don’t agree on all of these

Can’t say I do or don’t necessarily. We can’t be much worse though can we?

What I do know is that I’m not going to waste any emotion over it. Let’s talk in a couple weeks and see where we land after the portal period. And then after spring ball…we really won’t know anything until October.

So, let’s kick back and see where it all goes.

I’ve got five of those guys I for sure don’t want to leave.
