Who gone?

[Fargo Husker]

Malcolm

I totally forgot Seth Malcom existed. He needs to be gone for sure.

 

[Carm]

We can do a follow up: how long till the first one enters? I bet we see someone enter by 6 tonight.

there's sort of a logistical issue that keeps this from happening. The University Football office needs to enter it into the NCAA portal database. There won't be any administrative people working in the office until Monday

 

[Carm]

@Carm I love ya brother - and I’m not saying I disagree with your basic point - but me thinks you didn’t watch Purdy play in a game last year

I did. But I've also seen his other game film from his short stints at FSU when he was healthy. I am not sure what happened to him. Haarberg was a passer in HS, right? That's odd, too, because he is very inaccurate now.

Braxton Clark
Noa Pola-Gates

Randal Kpai
Seth Malcom
Chubba
Smothers
Emmett Johnson
Ajay Allen
Chase Androff
Shawn Hardy

Casey Thompson, Luke Reimer, Nick Henrich, and Ethan Piper will be Grad Students with low online Grad School tuition. Their NIL packages will cover their school, expenses, and extra. They won't count against the Schollie numbers.

 

[Carm]

13 need to go, then if anyone is picked up in the portal they will have to cut someone.

I'm not sure we have the NIL to get someone who could really provide immediate help. We might be able to get a younger guy we can develop out of the portal. I still don't think there will be a lot of portal acquisitions. I think Rhule might decide to have a younger roster and play some of those guys to develop them quick.

 

[Natural9]

You stole my thread idea. It's gonna be a wild af next few days.

Purdy
Smothers
Torres
Pola Gates
Jones
Clark
Hill
Malcolm
Gbayor
Lynum

I don't think that quite gets us to 85 yet, but I don't remember how many need to drop. I think they actually try to get down to 82 or 80 to add some more linemen.

Yes to all except Hill and Gbayor.

I am not sure Chubba would choose to transfer this year. Because of the way the new HC rule changed last November, he can't be cut, and I am not sure how he could make the case he deserves a waiver. He'd be better off staying here, hoping he can play, and then transfer out after he graduates, which is probably a year from now, wouldn't he?

Also - someone or several players we don't want to leave are likely to leave, I'd think.

Yeah, this sounds like something that would break like a half a dozen NCAA bylaws.

Fair, but I guess I was just expecting them to announce themselves tonight and do paperwork Monday.

 

[Frogsker30]

I think smothers stays at Nebraska. Whether as a walk-on or off the team that’s remained to be seen. I know he loves Nebraska and wants to stay here if he could

 

[Frogsker30]

Even with paper work it’ll take roughly 48 hours for them to officially be in the portal.

one thing Dean on tater island keeps saying is that perhaps as many as 50% of the guys who leave the team will simply retire. That's consistent with what you suggest on Smothers.

Smothers “fits” more than Purdy IMO

 

[Carm]

Smothers “fits” more than Purdy IMO

I know what you're saying, but Purdy weights at least 20 pounds more than Smothers

Right. But they can still say on tweeter "I'm out".

For sure

***Rhule said he wasn’t thinking about adding more depth to the offensive line and that they were going to work with the guys they had and those that were coming in this fall.

I have educated speculation of 5 players who may do that.

who do you think?

Update: way off.
