If you care about keeping your current guys, it's gotta be a lot easier to sell a guy with only one year left to your current roster. "We're just taking a guy to replace Adrian's last year." Even a guy with two years you could call a replacement for Adrian + Luke. Three or more and I feel like Smothers probably bails.

I wouldn't necessarily care about keeping the current guys if I was Whipple. It be great if one or more them fit into the future plan, but there isn't a benefit of retention if the players don't fit.

Yeah if you're bringing in a transfer in front of a guy who is entering his 3rd year I don't know if you're too worried about his feelings. That's not to say they don't want to keep the guys currently in that room. But it generally means you need competition at the position.

I think Chubba was the Pitt guy, but they picked Slovis or he beat Chubba to the punch or they might want to take 2 also. But like you said I wouldn't be surprised if they took Chubba and an older guy.

Super meh, but not sure Nebraska is in a position to hope for better. I prefer smothers over him, too.

Knowing this account all this likely means is they saw our recruiting guys are following him on Twitter.

I can't imagine this kid transferring. They're loaded at RB (a QB's best friend) with plenty of returning and incoming talent at the receiver positions. OK has had a few Heisman QB's in the not-so-recent past, so if he's looking for national exposure he's in the right spot. Unless he misses Lincoln Riley, it seems like a bad idea to jump ship.

FWIW Mitch Sherman predicted the Huskers take 2 QBs from the portal in his article this morning.
