Portal Priorities

[Fargo Husker]

People are going to be disappointed if you have expectations of us going strong in the portal. We will go after a handful of guys but a total overhaul is not Rhule’s thing. I also think there is zero evidence that method works with exception of Cignetti bringing his former team with him from James Madison. Lane couldn’t buy his way to a playoff spot in what was the worst SEC conference in sometime.

8-10 is not an overhaul and is what I would expect given Rhule’s tenure here so far. I believe in year one he brought in 13-14 and this year he brought in 8-9. I would expect him to continue to do the same.

I feel like they have all the parts of a solid to actually pretty good D coming back. Of course you'd take any luxury player who is better than what we have, but I feel like they don't have the same urgency on that side of the ball.

Offense is obvious with skill position reinforcements and interior OL if you can get it (I don't think they'll be competitive for the types of tackles they'd need).

Long snapper is probably priority 1.1 though

This will look like a brand new team by Spring Ball

Got a ton of holes to fill and positions that need upgraded.

1) LS - desperately need a competent LS.
2) DT/NT - we did a good job controlling the LOS this year but won't be able to next year without an impact transfer to replace either Ty or Nash.
3) CB - our DBs fucking suck.
4) WR - JB is nice and we've got some decent youngins committed, but we desperately need an experienced #1.
5) OL - need a starting caliber OL (C or OT preferred)
6) RB - EJ is alright, but no guarantee he sticks around. Depth is garbage and Barthel is a shit recruiter.
7) TE - our TE room is bad and don't think Fidone will be back.
8) S - our DBs fucking suck.

If DR xfers, a QB becomes priority #1.

I doubt DR xfers with his sister here and lil bro committed. I wouldn’t be surprised if DK xfers.

Agree that our DBs suck, but could be Butlers coaching.

Im shocked there’s no offer to a HS or JUCO LS yet. This should be grounds for firing Foley.

Could def see DK xfer. DBs seemed to have regressed under Butler. I thought we had offered a few HS LS tho

Maybe we have, but don’t remember any visiting over the season. then again, I don’t follow recruiting like I use to either.

Thought there was a high rated LS from Bennington who visited and they gave him the good old "we will be in touch"

Well, if that’s the case, Rhule is not serious about fixing issues.

I guess we will see who they add at LS or if they just ride with it. Possible they need to sort out the 105 first because walk on are dead now

I remembered when we ridiculed Riley for getting a scholarship LS and his philosophy was how fast they can get the snap back and etc. From what i can remember, we didn’t have any snapping issues with that kid.

This is really the first time I can remember that the snaps have been the issue. I'm somewhat perplexed as to how a walk on long snapper makes a major conference roster if he can't actually long snap, but Nebraska football post 2014-ish has been a wild ride of new and innovative ways to lose
