Rouse nug

[Fargo Husker]

There is a bonus round of transfer.portal in the spring though, right?

Yeah, the pickings are usually a bit thinner come spring time though.

 

[Herbie]

This isn’t the world we live in now

Players still make business decisions and there’s plenty of players not opting for nil.

Perception is, OU gives him the better path to the nfl.

 

[Carm]

Rouse is a must get now

I would say he was always the must get. Mazzccua likely would have been our best OG, but we have other people who would likely be acceptable guards. We have no one who can play LT well enough for this conference - probably the most physically demanding position on the line.

How many offensive and defensive linemen have been drafted from the Big 12 over the past 10 years?

How many offensive and defensive linemen have been drafted from the Big 12 over the past 10 years?

not a lot. OU did have 4 OLs drafted in 2018, I think

How many offensive and defensive linemen have been drafted from the Big 12 over the past 10 years?

I’d bet most all of them came from OU. They are an elite school for offensive lineman historically speaking

He will see far better competition in the big ten than he would the big 12. That’s a simple fact.

Now do OU vs NU?

 

[...TrueColors...]

Now do OU vs NU?

If he were a freshman I’m sure he’d care how he’d be coached for the next 4-5 years. He’s a grad transfer.

Now do the competition between the rush ends he’ll see in the Big 12 vs the ones in the Big 10.

Perception is reality. Nfl teams like schools that have success of producing at positions.

The quality of talent he’s going up against is pretty fucking Irrelevant. As much as it could help him it could hurt him just as much.

OU - 10 Oline draft picks the past 10 years

NU - 5 draft picks the past 10 years
Spencer Long, Alex Lewis, Matt Farnoik, Brenden Jamies, Cam Jurgens — how many of these guys have Nebraska fans wanted their scholarship pulled a majority of their career?

Nebraskas oline development, coaching, respect is dead.

No it’s not.

Yes.

Take away Cockeye and Ohio state skewing big 10 stats the big 10 avg is 3. To say there’s some massive benefit by playing in the big 10 it’s a lie

When will he play against other OL?

 

[Herbie]

When will he play against other OL?

What big advantage have big 10 O linemen received over big 12 O linemen by going against “better defenses”. Outside of two schools in the big 10 it’s basically fucking equal on getting talent to the nfl

 

[Huskerbuck85]

What is the average career of an OL in the nfl? Those numbers just look crazy low for some of those teams.

You don’t see any advantage to going against better players each week at all if one has the dreams of playing in the nfl? You see none at all? Can you say that out loud to yourself really quick.

Based on your own numbers the logic that “OU produces more NFL OL than Nebraska and that’s why he’ll go to OU” doesn’t work. If he wanted to go to a school clearly known for churning out OL talent he’d already be at Cockeye.

So yes. If we eliminate NIL and we eliminate the idea the Big Ten is clearly the better league between the two conferences; maybe he’d pick OU. He might still. We don’t know. But I’m not exactly buying what you’re selling here.
