If my son were in college, I'd probably tell him to take a look around. Loyalty in athletics is becoming a very gray area.
Hausmann in portal
- Thread starter KingBlackshirt
- Start date
WTF are you talking about? You literally have no idea of what Rhule has said to any players since he got here. He WAS clear in saying he wants guys to be happy and he wants guys that want to be here.
The funny thing is DeColdest got here last year, got the NIL deal, blew out his knee, and now he's in the portal after not having played a down.
It's amazing how much "material" we've had to work with the last couple of days.
F*CK! That is all.
Edit. Actually, that isn't all. On the defensive side, this was the BIGGEST bright spot I saw for the future. This one flat out sucks and is a huge blow.

The Tradition Coalition is going into action mode now that Mickey won’t be retained.
Very strange when it is players close or in the state especially when Hausmann played a great deal as a freshman and things were very promising for him
It might just be a kid who wants to ultimately stay at NU, but looking around might drive up his NIL deal. Supply and demand…
Even MORE than a big contributor when breaking down his play, imo. This kid has potential to be a difference maker.
He probably thinks he can parlay his good freshman season into a really good NIL deal. It's going to be very common now.
Still a lot of uncertainty for many players. Haven't hired a DC or a LB coach yet. Have to recruit your own roster and new guys every year, just the way it is in the transfer portal/NIL world we live in.
That's life. Gotta think this Mickey deal screwed up more than just a few things..
NIL, the portal, conference realignment, etc. have completely altered the college football landscape.
It will never be the same. A sea of constant change, which gets compounded when you dump your staff.

With the Transfer Portal and NIL money this going to happen, new coach or not. Joe Klatt was talking on the Dan Patrick Show how a kid like Quarterback Drake Maye could possibly get as much as $10 million dollars if he would put himself in the transfer portal.
True, but by going into the transfer portal, he can force Nebraska to pay up if we want to keep him.
It's a smart business move.
College football has two types of recruiting, now. The first one is to get the kids out of high school. The second one is getting kids to stay.
It’s worse than the NFL because there’s no signed contract that obligates the player to stay. The B1G makes it’s members guarantee 4 years of college but the kid can leave anytime. Unrestricted free agency every year.

I can't blame any talented kid for looking around after their coach (and possibly the entire staff) gets fired. It's not the same staff he signed up to play for. It sucks to see them lose a talented young player like Hausmann but maybe he finds his way back after building a relationship with whoever his new coach(es) are, maybe not. Hope he is able to get a good NIL deal wherever he goes, he deserves it.
The combo of new/uncertain coaches + NIL + 6 straight losing seasons does not equal a good recipe for player retention. There will undoubtedly be more bumps in the road but that's what happens when there's a coaching change. Let's give the new coaching staff time, support and understand that sometimes you've gotta take a step (or 20) backwards before you can start moving forward. Best of luck to Hausmann!

I can't think of the last time I made a big deal out of a transfer/decommit. Hausmann is a huge loss. Period.
Shanle said Rhule is great at talking big. Also don’t you find it concerning that a kid with a lot of promise like Hausman doesn’t want to be a part of the home state team? Speaks a lot to the troubles with the program.

He was heavily leveraging His relationship with the players to try and become the head coach. Matt had 45 scholarship players at Baylor his 1st season if anyone can build it backup it's him.
Troll? No. I’m saying there has been all the talk (including Rhule on Monday) about kids from in Nebraska being on the team. And here it looks like Hausman has no interest in being on the team. Yes he is just one kid but right off the bat it’s a failure in keeping good players home.
Yeah this one is kind of weird. This kid got an NIL deal and hasn't played one down and nobody is 100% sure if he will ever be the player he was projected to be because of his injury and he wants to move on because Josephs future is unclear, weird. I don't understand where some of these kids get their advice from but heck they are just kids.
