What a shame.....................
What a shame.....................
OT: Nebraska Exodus
- Thread starter DewHawk
- Start date
All programs will have to lose around this number of players to get down to the 105 scholly limit.
Click Bait.. The author, Rudransh Atri, apparently knows nothing about football. Many of the departures are walk-ons or non-contributors. And more need to go. Nebraska signed 20 in December and 15 more transferred in so far.
INCOMING TRANSFERS
DL Williams Nwaneri - Missouri
OL Elijah Pritchett - Alabama
WR Dane Key - Kentucky
LB Dasan McCullough - Oklahoma
WR Hardley Gilmore - Kentucky
WR Nyziah Hunter - Cal
QB Marcos Davila - Purdue
LB Marques Watson-Trent - Georgia Southern
DB Justyn Rhett - Georgia
DL Gabriel Moore - Mississippi State
CB Andrew Marshall - Idaho
DB Jamir Conn - Southern Illinois
DL Jaylen George - East Tennessee State
LS Kevin Gallic - New Hampshire
P Jack McCallister - Washington
Mr. Antri made it sound like the roster was depleted because players were jumping ship. There is a noticeable upgrade in incoming players. There are plenty that need to go before or after Spring practice. Have to get down to 105 by August.

Why do we need another thread on this shit? They are little brother, they are replacing most of their starers from a solid defense with the transfer portal. More questionable additions by Matty. Nebraska blows, their fans love to keep their family tree a stump, and the rest is history.
Wonder what their NIL budget is and who the big donors are. Guess farming does pay. Who knew.
No one knows how good the additions will be. To be honest, some of the past transfers were busts. I didn't say they were great. We will find out later. Iowa probably needs to step up their game on the portal but yes I am aware that Iowa has dominated the series.
Uh, oh. ESPN disrespected the mighty Huskers.
"Case in point? ESPN’s “way-too-early” Top 25 rankings for the 2025 season dropped right after Ohio State clinched the national title over Notre Dame. While the Buckeyes predictably sit atop the list, Nebraska, who finished the season 7-6 overall, found itself in the “teams to consider” category—basically knocking on the door but not quite in the spotlight yet.
For a program with Nebraska’s legacy, being relegated to “honorable mention” status only adds fuel to the fire. Matt Rhule has a big job ahead, balancing recruiting, player development, and portal pickups to elevate Nebraska back to national prominence."
What a slap in the face!

They have a bunch of pretty high ranked transfers coming in.
Whether they pan out or not is another topic.

They’ve actually brought in some nice pieces. Now will this translate from off season natty to the regular season…or will it crash and burn like it typically does.
Their farmers mortgage their homes\land to fund the fuskers.
Bringing this many newcomers is the same thing Coach Frost tried. Hard to build continuity or a great culture with that many newcomers plus the recruiting class
If we can win 8, we'll have done what coach Ferentz did in his - what? - 27th year at Iowa?
tell that to Indiana's coach.
Where’s Iowa on that list?Uh, oh. ESPN disrespected the mighty Huskers.

Yeah, I know.
It’s the Debbie off season. Off course they are a noticeable upgrade, these guys are way better than the overhyped guys from last year, and the year before.
This OC is the right OC, way better than the overhyped OC from last year, and the year before.
You can’t win off season National Championships by changing the formula every year. Lather, rinse, repeat……..now if only those pesky games didn’t need to be played
"Lather, rinse, repeat" must be your favorite phrase.
The Indians coach brought in a ton of his JM players to Indiana where I believe they were part of a Top 25 nationally rated program while playing fir him 2 years running.
With next year’s schedule you better win at least 8.
They got a couple starters back on D due to the juco clock rule. Mostly losing the 2 bigs on the line and linebacker or 2.
When it is so consistently applicable it’s pretty easy. Don’t like it? Don’t repeat the same script every off season.
I did notice that there wasn’t any refuting of the main part of the post.
Anyone gloating over this is a fool. Rhule appears to be cleaning out deadwood to get to scholly limits, keeping players he wants and bringing in solid transfers. Whether that pans out for Debbie is anyone’s guess but he seems to be making the right moves to become more competitive. Can anyone honestly say Kurt has done as much?
“Kurt” and his situation is about 180 degrees different from Rhule’s situation. Kirk has been at his current position going in 26 seasons now…he knows what he has… Rhule is trying to get where he wants to be. All coaches are struggling with the new roster limitations to some extent.
The scholarship limits are new and give all programs a chance to re-set. Can we say real changes are being made at Fort Kinnick?
The two situations are completely different…..apples and oranges. Kirk knows what he has in hand…it’s his that he has built…Rhule is living with other coaches decisions at Lincoln. He is cleaning out what doesn’t fit and it’s a larger pile to move. That’s all I’m saying.
Kurt keeps beating the Huskers so maybe his changes aren’t as sweeping
Maybe. It's not as easy as Iowa's 2024 schedule, at least on paper. Iowa needs to worry about Iowa getting 8 next year. Bit tougher schedule.
Some that have bailed were considered last year's considerable upgrade in talent.
Nebraska is throwing considerable amounts of NIL money up against the wall hoping it sticks, Many of these incoming players just want a payday and really don't care where it comes from. Team chemistry is a thing from the past when you bring in that many players. Most NFL teams won't bring in as many free agents as Nebraska is bringing in. You'd think Rhule would have learned from his complete failure as an NFL coach but apparently, he didn't.
We are going for more than 8.
No idea what to expect next year! We know a few truths that are indisputable;
1. OL has to be better on pass protection without losing ground on running the ball; ie our ability to pick up blitzes absolutely has to improve!
2. D has to be on par with this year and needs to get more pressure on QBs in general
Any downgrades and we’re in real trouble regardless of QB1 and because our schedule strength is at least 10% more difficult in 2025

They lost to Iowa ... get rid of all the players and that bum coach
Lol..you will be left behind if you are not upgrading your roster every year.
Developing players is over as the primary source of success.
Your best player could leave your team tomorrow if the money is right.
The difference is that your squad is still struggling to reach a respectable 8 wins, whereas that was a disappointing let down for us.
