WR didn't take much of a step forward this year and two receivers, Phillips & Gill, are both out of eligibility. We brought in a couple of recruits last year, and a couple more this year, but they are all young and unproven. Portal here we come!
I would hope we can do better than Philips, Gill, and Anderson going forward. Lots of drops in that trio - too much for my liking. I actually really liked Gill in the beginning, but maybe that was a case of watching too many sub par WRs in years prior. I really like RVZ (stating the obvious) and Howard, so that is a solid foundation assuming they come back. As far as a QB that can throw it to them…aren’t we due?!?!,! In very limited action, I saw something in Hecklinski that has my hopes up.🤞 😎

I hope they find a QB1 that has more than 3 quarters of a game in playing time.

Gill made honorable mention all Big Ten somehow

Lesser talents?! Nester was god-awful for us last year & wouldn’t have been a starter for us this year.

He did fine for Minny, but the bar is a lot lower for the boat-rowers D.
I'm glad he did well for the Gophers, but his inflated stats were based on really great games vs an awful FCS Northwestern State (with one win in the last three years) and the finale with Wisconsin. Beyond that he was simply average and against Iowa he was an easy target to pick on.

Came across this article -UNC is losing a lot of players to the portal. I guess Belichick isn't winning players over.
I wonder if the Belichick experiment gets worse if UNC just pays him a settlement to leave. If UNC is losing a bunch of top players and Big Bill cant get a good freshman class and portal group then the school Admin might say cut the cord

Aidan Chiles has entered the portal along with Malachi Coleman. I would be pumped if the hawks landed either. Coleman has the size but is much more of a project.

It is an interesting commentary, who of the 6 qbs would you add in the portal given no limitations, and this is prior to any more additions (not assuming someone like Underwood enters):

Lagway
Sornsby
Raiola
Sornsby
Minchey
Joseph

Many guys already know where they are going. Do they wait 5 minutes on Jan 2 to announce to show it is all a farce or do they wait say 2 hours?

I'd get the kid from UTSA. I think he translates

Colman and Raiola are the epitome of Husker recruiting since they joined the big 10. This time of year we always hear their fans gloating about their great highly ranked recruits and how they are bringing them back to the promise land etc. ironically this maybe first year they aren’t with their 10 person class only ahead of psu right now. And like these 2 guy they either don’t live up to the hype and never develop or leave the program and transfer out.

Sorsby is the definition of a “gamer” - will do whatever is necessary. And he’s very accurate. I don’t really know why he’d go to Iowa right now but he would be a great addition.

I heard Texas Tech for Sorsby.

Looks like WR spot is going to be a key target for the staff, Barnes is following a pretty solid group of kids, with Corey Scott being the only offer out there at the moment, a new addition to the list is ECU sophomore WR Yannick Smith.

Iowa has Stratton in the portal, I would assume we see more after the bowl game. Hopefully no major transfers.
