Wait, so Nebraska NIL actually sucks?

NIL Reality for Nebraska

Really sorry for a little bit of sobering reading this morning with how well the recruiting went yesterday for us. I kind of went off the poll from last week. We will get it back on track with posi…

Have I been misled into believing our NIL was good?

It's SSOs blog. He's pretty knowledgeable

Literally the first sentence of the article acknowledges that yesterday went well

I guess the article was by the guy who goes by ShortSideOption on Twitter. He has some conflicting information because I thought I read an article that Trey Palmer didn't take any NIL money and just focused on football. So who knows which one is correct. But he obviously doesn't know how bad ABM was mismanaged by Gayrod and they were skimming players and etc.

SSO was a long time poster with good info on one of the message boards before he got ran off. I think it was HuskerMax but not 100% sure.

Yeah he's solid from what I've seen.

Don't get the salt itt. Nothing I've seen from our NIL organization has screamed top 10-20 let alone top 3.

Doesn't mean it won't get there in short order. I'm just curious whether Rhule leans towards the Cockeye or TAMU end of the spectrum or if that's irrelevant and up to the collectives themselves. Still not sure how all this shit works.

I’d bet it’s top 25. I’ll never really believe it’s top 5

 

[herbsinator]

If our NIL was in the Top 10 we would have a Top 10 class

Posted this on the scrolls,

I don't know why people are so reluctant to accept that Nebraska has a good NIL program. Even if its not Bama or A&M, who fing cares. They are in a different stratosphere right now in recruiting. We dont recruit the same as them. Bama getting 6 5 stars instead of 4 5 stars because of NIL literally does not effect Nebraska at all. Vry rarely are we ever head to head with them. It does not matter, so there is no reason to worry about them or compare to them

Where is does matter is with who Nebraska usually recruits against. UCLAbia, Washington, Oregon, ASU, VTech, Ok St, TTech, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Cockeye, Michigan, PSU etc. Nebraska's NIL program is better then most of those schools and can help be the final edge to get recruits to Nebraska.

Start winning and it will only make it easier for recruits to come to Nebraska. I think Nebraska on the second go around (portal) can be a very attractive place which can be a advantage for Nebrsaka. Once Nebraska starts consistently getting top 8-15 classes I'll worry about competing with Bama, OSU, and A&M.

Honestly, a lot of the NIL hype was Bean washing Gerrod’s balls (and then deflecting whenever anyone requested he prove the bullshit he was spewing).

I NEVER bought that our NIL was anywhere close to the top of CFB, let alone even the B1G.

One thing SSO said was that we didn’t/don’t have a way for fans to donate, but I’m pretty positive I saw that at one point…..but it seems clear it never took off if we aren’t all immediately aware of its existence.

We’ve got a ways to go, clearly…..but if Rhule puts a decent product on the field, I see us making a huge jump. Hard to get wallets to fly open when we were stuck with Frost and his insistence on maintaining the bowl-drought.

He basically says “We aren’t anywhere near where we should be because we trusted everyone else to play by the rules. They haven’t, so now we are behind. But we’ll catch up quickly and I expect us to.”

Not sure why he’s saying it’s that negative. That’s good to hear that we’ll be good in short order.
