Did that cost him a year of eligibility?
Yes. you cant use a RS on when your ineligible.

The dude is 6'7 300 lbs, and moves well, looks aggressive, and seems pretty athletic from his HS highlight tape. Take a flier on a guy like that. If you can develop him, great, you've got a multiyear starter. Our OL numbers are pretty janky right now, especially at tackle. I don't think there's a shot in hell Hood ever plays.
Isn't it a benefit as well to not have to unfuck poor coaching? They get to teach him the ways they want without having to combat years and years of technique (except for thumb positioning).
 
I will always remember the candor of Tyler's announcement that he was entering the portal:

“Following spring practices, I have come to understand that it is in my best interest to enter the transfer portal with 4 years of eligibility remaining.”

That rivals my favorite HS commitment announcement when some kid announced for the camera he was committing to "The University of Kansas State University" lol.

Make fun of KSU all you want, or KU all you want... but none of you can touch the academic prestige of UKSU. The Ivy League of the Midwest. It's like two universities in one.
 
excerpt for non-subscribers

• Donovan Raiola gets credit for the recruiting win. Things happen fast in the portal. Knaak settled on the decision to leave Utah late last month. Not long after, he visited Hawaii to vacation with his family on the island of Kauai, where his mother spent part of her childhood.

By the start of this week, Knaak had packed his Utah apartment in anticipation of the move to Lincoln.

In the interim, Raiola, on the island of Oahu in Hawaii to evaluate prospects, connected with the lineman. They finished their days around the same time. Late at night on the U.S. mainland, time remained for Raiola and Knaak to visit. They traded texts and talked on the phone.

“I just knew he was my guy,” Knaak said. “We had a great connection on the phone. And I knew it was just going to get better in person. I could tell that he was going to be my coach. It’s one of those feelings where when you know, you know. And I knew.”

• Rhule, too, made a strong first impression. As with the Huskers’ most recent commit out of high school, quarterback Daniel Kaelin — with whom Nebraska had to navigate a tightrope during its pursuit of Raiola’s nephew, five-star QB Dylan Raiola — Rhule showed his recruiting savvy in working on Knaak.

Rhule stood out for his depth of knowledge about Knaak and the level of interest in the player’s skill set.

“It’s hard to find that in a head coach,” Knaak said.

The coach made a point to talk to Knaak about his wrestling background in high school. Knaak’s experience on the mat taught him the work ethic required to succeed in football, he said.

“To see that (Rhule) has that much appreciation for (wrestling), it really just hit home with me,” Knaak said. “And meeting him in person, he knew his stuff. You could tell he didn’t just check up on the film. He watched it and took his time to look at who I was as a player to make sure I was a good fit.”


• A narrative about Nebraska’s offensive linemen has emerged in Rhule’s six months. The coach has defended their play despite offensive struggles during the past two years largely blamed on performance up front.

According to Rhule, the line took too much of the blame. And the linemen are working harder than any position group to turn into a strength for Nebraska. Their actions and attitude of togetherness are unmatched on the roster, coaches and players said.

“Every single thing that you’ve heard is correct,” Knaak said. “Showing up Day 1 (for a visit), three O-linemen came to dinner. They travel in groups. They show up to practice together. They get out of practice together. That’s a tight group. It’s something I’m really forward to, having that sense of unity.”
 
I think there is zero danger we will be over 85. And whatever they do from now until the opening of pre-season practice will be consistent with that.

Thank you for biting brother. It’s like worrying about what a mother is going to feed her kids
