New recruit just in
- Thread starter Ohana
- Start date
We've been saying that since T.O retired. Where you been?
but that goes against the Nebraska narrative of developing OL talent like in the past. You know, get farms kids who were their teams biggest kid, maybe a TE and turn him into an AA in 4-5 years. I have heard that narrative over and over for years.
Difference maker
That’s also why those kind of rules can’t be universal. Positions like OL and DL way more often than not require multiple years of seasoning, conditioning, training to be ready. positions like WR, RB, DB, and now even QB don’t require multiple years. If you are not on the 2-deep by your 3rd year in those latter 4, you’ve been recruited over and passed by. For OL/DL, if you aren’t there by the time fall camp is finished on RS-JR year, you’ve been passed over. Unless they are an extremely irreplaceable locker room piece, a good program will send them on their way to make room for better younger talent of the next recruiting class. It’s not a cut and dry principle or an absolute, but you can’t hang onto old players who don’t contribute. You can’t keep young players who you also don’t foresee making the leap either.
I get the premise behind it but there’s a lot of guys who need to mature. We’re already processing tons of guys. People bring up Ives, but replacing him with another 3 star guy probably doesn’t help the team. We needed his depth this past fall with the injuries. We need 2 P4 RBs in this class if EJ leaves but we’re not going to know that for a while.
What depth did Ives exactly provide? His 16 carries and 3 catches aren’t something a handful of other mid-level 3 ⭐️ recruits (like he was) can’t also do?
C'mon, guyth! The 86 million dollar man jutht needth a little time and a little kumbaya!
You have to have a body. I get it. I was very disappointed with his production given his measureables. Clearly he was passed over. Hopefully he has his degree and moves on.
Looks like all our current commitments have signed accourding to 247 and on3
I’m not saying to kick these guys out solely because they’re low on the depth chart. There has to be a plan/replacement on deck. Hopefully there is a plan for the portal if EJ leaves, because the depth showed us no sunny skies on the horizon based off this season.
USC’s true freshman RB looked great. It’s one place you can plug in a true freshman and have it work. Hope we got that guy. Whatever happened to Brown the RB recruit? Late period signer?
There isn't.
The only "plan" that was ever in place was to catch lightning in a bottle this year and jump ship to Penn State. That having failed, Rhule is absolutely adrift.
We have a highly sought after freshman RB in injury rehab. Signed one. Portal opens soon.
I ask the question a couple weeks ago and the response was he will not practice for the bowl game, but nobody seems to know what his injury is
Rex, Claude and Hayden say WTF do you think we are? Hit the portal hard for more and the D lineman.
PortalWasn’t it an ACL? Hopefully we don’t hear “he has old knees”.
good thing we're the only school shopping for the most critical position groups in the portal
very lucky
I'm honestly not trying to be a dick, but by my count that's:
1. A hurt guy
2. A mid-3 star
3. Blind hope in Rhule
I guess you can take a dump in a box and call it a plan.
You want another coaching transition? Oregon had to get 3 o line starters in the portal this year even without the whiplash of a transition from 7 losing seasons in a row.
desperately.
